Taxidrivers at the airport

by LotusV8

These taxidrivers drag you to their cars, there is no other way to reach Siem Reap from the Airport, no motos, no Tuk-tuk only taxi. Dont pay more than 3$ for the ride, they ask for 5-8$.During the ride the driver is talking and talking.... he want to drive you to the "best" hotel, but remember that those hotels he is showing you are not the cheapest and he is a companion with the hotelcrew, he think that you will choose him for all of your rides during your stay. Insist that he drives you to the hotel you want, check fex Lonely planet guide or any other guidebook before You reach Cambodia. Take my tip and go to Skyway Guesthouse, it is good value for your money

Persuasive sellers

by stmlnyc

A visit to Angkor Wat and you will be undoubtedly confronted with children selling various souvenirs and trinkets. Shouldn't they be in school?They make such persuasive entrepreneurs, it is hard to say no to a darling smiling child...and the items are just a few dollars. However, they will appear in every temple attraction so after a while, you may become hardened to their sales pitch. The items make good souvenirs but you can only buy so much.

I went mad for a while

by edachsund

The things happened once I get down from tuk-tuk at Aranyaprathet border. I reached there about 10.55am. It was hot and humid as usual. Me and Clare was delighted to accross the border as we were planning to be in Cambodia before 12.00noon where I supposed the border gonna packed up with travellers who came with package through Khao San Road agency to enter the Poi Pet border. We made it up before noon, yeah!.... we've been happy for a while. It is quite easy to get your passport stamp over the Poi Pet border. I have done the visa requisition just for about 5 minute time. Amazing! No doubt but however before I got it done I had been through with some small argument with the Visa assistant who were asking me 1200baht instead of 1000baht. Funny though, I was just making my bloody face innocent and I just say 'I dont have money to pay your tips'............Both of us was planning to walk a...

Possible problem

by herzog63

There is a possible problem with the post office. I bought my stamps and applied them to the post cards that I was sending and asked the lady to cancel the stamps but she wouldn't she just set them to the side. (In some 3rd world countries this is a scam to remove the stamps and resell them after you leave.) I didn't check with all of my friends to see if they all received their cards or not. So it's only a POSSIBLE problem. One other post office possible scam is there are only a couple of designs to choose from at regular price for posting. If you want any of the REALLY NICE stamps they come in packets and cost more.
