A June 2002 trip to Cambodia by aventuress

Quote: A place to visit before change occurs. Spend at least one night in Pneonh Penh, visiting the palace, S21 and do not miss the Russian Market. The riverside is lovely and have a drink at the Correspondents Club. Check out www.asia-hotels.com for accomodations and reviews. Then fly or take the ferry to Siem Reap.

Overview

Quote:
Spend at least one night in Pneom Penh, and see the museum, the art galleries near by, the lovely river front and the great finds in the Russian market. Take your time to look and bargains! Spend 3-4 days in Siem Reap, Angkor Wat, and the surrounding areas. Visit the lake village people on a private boat tour, US per person for 2 hours - do not miss this!!! See the local market for handicrafts. Get a massage by the blind for per hour. The best shopping is in the local market; take your time as treasures await your skill and patience. I recommend the Angkor Wat village hotel, a lovely boutique hotel, in Siem Reap. Quick Tips: There is lots of local good food, the people are very friendly, an...Read More

Angkor Village Hotel

Hotel | "Angkor Wat Village Hotel"

Quote:
Deluxe rooms at this Boutique hotel are fabulous. NO TV, small pool, lovely restaurant for a continental breakfast in the morning (extra charge). Great location as well. They can also arrange your car and driver for you as well. A great driver and he can be an adequate guide is Mr. Sang Soum: call him prior to your arrival in Siem Reap. Phone 011 855 127 868 71. We paid $20 Us for car with driver, guide extra, but Mr. Soum speaks perfect English so you may not want a guide. Do not miss the water village. We paid 10US each extra and well worth it. Check out the hotel website.

Massage by the blind

Attraction

Quote:
This was an excellent massage, and it helps the blind. $4 US for an hour so book for at least one hour although you will wish you had booked two hours. They offer appointments or just stop by. Ask anyone and they will direct you. Next to a Green Restaurant down a small alley. Taxis or motor bikes readily available when you are done. Or have your driver go home for lunch while you dine and have your massage. Just 2-3 blocks from the local market.
