A January 2004 trip to Siem Reap by Miss Bels
Quote: I live in Korea but managed to get to Cambodia for a week recently. I just wanted to share a few of the places with you.
Overview
Hotel
Yes, crocodile pool.
Which is in the corner of the multilayer restaurant. The food was great and the building was very interesting. We spent most of the meal looking around in wonder.
The guesthouse also offers free manicures and pedicures and a 10% if you make a complaint- but we took advantage of none of these.

The Dead Fish Tower Near CCB Bank, Phsa Chas Siem Reap, Cambodia 063 963 060
Restaurant
We went there for some beer but ended up staying for food too. And as two British girls, we were given the most convincing plate of chips that we had eaten in a long time.
The service was good and the ambiance in this old French colonial house was perfect for a bit of relaxation after a hard day sightseeing at the temples.

The Red Piano Bar 50m Northwest of the Old Market Siem Reap, Cambodia 063 963 240
Attraction
It was built as a Hindu temple and decorated accordingly, the statues of Buddha being added at a later stage. We went before the sun came up and bought our temple passes for our time in Siem Reap for $40 for a three-day pass. One day passes are available for $20 and all passes give you access to all the temples in the area.
It is possible to climb all over the temple presently. Though there is a great view from the top it is a bit hairy climbing back down again- look for the staircase with the new addition of concrete even steps when you are trying to get back down.
Overall, from the grandness of the moat to the sight of the temple appearing majestically through the haze of the dawn, Angkor Wat is everything that you imagine it to be and more.
