Thank you,

Gabor

Auberg Mont Royal is a nice hotel and well situated in Siem Reap. Sorry can't help with guide.

You didnt say what your budget was??? We recently stayed at Bou Savy Guest House $US8 with fan, ensuite & good breakfast (choice from menu) or $US14 with air con. Check out my webpages. We arranged through Bou Savy for a guide standard $US20 a day also a driver @ standard $US20 that is an air con Toyota Camry. The GH also has TuK Tuks that work from the GH. Check out their website if you want their direct email address let me know. We had all this booked before we left Australia and we made up our own itinerary otherwise the guides have a standard itinerary. Very friendly & clean gh.

Regarding transportation & guide, you can ask the hotel for assistance.

I will also be in Siem Reap on 10 Mar to 13 Mar. I have booked my stay with The Villa @ Siem Reap. It costs US$15 for the standard room with ensuite bathroom and US$30 for the superior room.

With regards to taxi driver, I read good review on John Teng, but unfortunately, he is not available during the period I am in Siem Reap. I am still looking for a driver.

Which date of Mar will you be in Siem Reap.

I recommend the Sofitel Royal Angkor, and use the private tour that the concierge can provide. Tip on my Khett Siem Reab page.

Hi there,

Make sure you have a passport size photo with you for the temple pass unless you want them to take a picture of you using a webcam. Temple pass cost US25.00 for 1 Day, US40 for 3 Days and US60 for 1 week.

Stayed at Preah Khan Hotel, nice buffet breakfast. If you are into budget hotels, there are some in town.

The roads can be dusty, so a if you get a tuk-tuk be ready to face the dust as you travel. Buy a Krama scarf and be like the cambodian. Tuk-Tuk a day may cost you US6. But tuk-tuk might have trouble taking you to Kabel Spean (River of 1000 Lingas)
Expect to pay tuk tuk US4 more for sunrise at Angkor!

I used the toyota camry, since I was travelling with two 60 year old ladies, and my wife. So 4 in a cab, was good. We paid US25 for whole day (7am - 8pm)

Temple closes at 7pm. You may want to purchase the Angkor Guide Book (US4) inside the Angkor Complex.

Don't forget the Airport Tax US25.00 for your return trip.
Hope this helps...you should check out the "theDouglas" webpage on Virtual Tourist. I took all their advice and it worked out Great!!.

Enjoy yourself, If you plan to take photos....go to the temples early to avoid the tourist crowd

We stayed at the Bopha Angkor hotel and have it rated and reviewed on our pages. To date, one of our favorite hotels throughout our month long trek through Asia.
We also recomend a wonderful driver who several VT'ers have used and been very satisfied with after they've contacted him through our recomendation.

You'll love Cambodia, as travelshoe mentions, go to the temples early to avoid the crowds. Charlie (the guide) knows about photography and is able to also direct you as to best lighting and minimize the coinciding of the tourist and your visit by working with his knowledge of the temples.
Enjoy your trip! I envy you, wish I was going back.

What is your budget for your accomodation?

If you want a budget accomodation, I will recommend Jasmine Lodge http://www.jasminelodge.com/


I am going to Siem Reap im March also and have confirmed my room with Mr. Kunn at Jasmine Lodge.

By the way, as recommended by a satisfied VTer who stayed at Jasmine Lodge, Mr. Kunn will also act as your guide. His charges are very reasonable.

I came back from Siem Reap recently. I stayed at 13th Villa where i paid only US$6.00 for one night. This room has its own bathroom. The guesthouse provides towel and mineral water. E-mail: info@angkor.cc and communicate with Kumi.

If you are looking for a room with shared bathroom, Rosy Guesthouse will be the best. It charges US$5.00 per night. http://www.rosyguesthouse.com .

Both guesthouses provide free one-way transfer from Siem Reap Airport to the respective addresses. However, you must pay US$3 for one-way transfer from the guesthouse to the Airport by motorcycle and tuk-tuk, and US$5 by taxi.

Thanks Chyan, for your sharing.

By the way, do you if there is any DVD burning services in Siem Reap or Phnon Phen?

My apologies for a missing word in my last post.

Do you know if there is any DVD burning service in Siem Reap or Phnon Phen?

DVD burning in Phnom Penh, yes, but i never went into any shopping mall. You can try a shopping mall called Sorya or just look out what you can find along the shophouses of the major boulevards of Phnom Penh. I was there to look for inflight magazines of airlines (PMT Air, Royal Khmer Airlines and Angkor Airways) for my own collection.

Siem Reap has no DVD burning service yet.

My impromptu Cambodia trip is a fruitful one though it is expensive, my most expensive budget trip to date, because i bought the return air ticket at last minute.

where are you from? what is your job?

Thanks again Chyan for your information.

Please check my profile to find out more about the little kingdom I live in. hehehe ....

I quit my 9-5 job four years ago due to stress ....... hehehe ... I can sleep well these days! Now, I am trying to create art pieces from DSLR ( Digital Single Lens Reflex camera ).

For those who'd like to book a driver, please contact Mr. Houn Hem (we call him Pov). Please see http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/77003/64a/9/

Thanks, ISA.
I may need Mr. Pov's service when I am in Siem Reap.

Hi, would you mind sharing with me your pictures of Siem Reap and possibly Phnom Penh? I would like to come up with a travel essay on my blog http://asiaperu.multiply.com. I went to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap but I had no opportunity to take snapshots of Cambodia's famous tourist destinations like Independence Monument, Norodom Boulevard and the entrance of Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat is most beautiful in the evening.

I will see what I can do to help you, after my trip. I may need some time as I will shoot all my picutures in RAW format.

Regards.

Thanks, apenan. Waiting for your good news.
