Siem Reap var ude af vejen. Cambodja var virkelig ikke en del af min originale backpacking -rute. Jeg ville flyve ind med Bangkok, såvel som derfra havde jeg til formål at tage nordvest til Ayutthaya, Chiang Mai, der krydsede over til Laos såvel som derefter drejede øst til Vietnam. Dog var telefonopkaldet fra Angkor så højt såvel som kraftfuldt, jeg var bare nødt til at ødelægge min plan såvel som at tage bussen i otte timer i den modsatte retning.

Siem Reap – Gateway to Angkor
På indfødte Khmer -sprog indebærer Siem Reap ”nederlag af Siam”, endnu et navn på Thailand. Navnet blev angivet til at blive tildelt byen af King Ang Chan efter en fantastisk succes over dets nærliggende rige. Thailand såvel som Cambodja har en lang historie med konflikt.
Angkor Wat i Siem Reap
Siem Reap anvendte til at være en lille landsby indtil en ekspedition i den omkringliggende skov begyndte i 1901. Det var ligeledes året, som Angkor blev genopdaget, hvilket ændrede skæbnen for den fredelige by. Siem Reap opnåede rundt om i verdens interesse som porten til den arkæologiske himmel. For da har byen glædet sig over hurtig udvikling. Indkvartering fra budgetplanhosteler til avancerede hoteller såvel som restauranter fra gangbro-spisesteder til livlige danseklubber svampede langs byens gader, logi, fodring samt underholdende turister, der er glade for at lægge øjnene på de gamle strukturer.

Medmindre topsæsonen er det let at søge efter overkommelige boliger i Siem Reap. Der er lige så godt af dem. Min gå-til-side til indkvartering er hostelworld.com for vandrerhjem såvel som airAsiago.com. Jeg har prøvet dem så godt som de aldrig har svigtet mig. I denne rejse måtte jeg dog stole på Bebs, en god ven, der valgte at vælge mig til Siem Reap. (Han er nu med base i Bangkok, så godt som vi troede, det ville være finest at indhente, mens vi rejser sammen i det mindste for at Siem Reap. Jeg ville dog være alene resten af turen.)
Det var min vens fjerde gang i Siem Reap, så godt som han antydede Mandalay Inn, et budgetplanhotel med rum, der er så lave som USD 7 for solo såvel som USD10 for Twin eller Double. Min oplevelse på Mandalay var temmelig behagelig. Placeringen var ren, stedet var fremragende, såvel som personalet var praktisk såvel som varmt. Her er min fulde evaluering af hotellet.
Mandalay Inn, et budgetplanhotel
Mens jeg cyklede rundt i byen, opdagede jeg, at mange af de avancerede hoteller ligger langs vejen, der går til Angkor fra den rette by. De meget mere overkommelige er dog lige omkring det gamle markedsområde. Bortset fra budgettet, er en ting mere at tænke på, når du vælger et sted at bo, nøjagtigt, hvordan du planlægger at tilbringe din tid i byen. Hvis du er den type, der kan lide at blive beruset såvel som at danse på klubben om natten (som mig), kan du måske tænke på at vælge et hotel eller vandrerhjem i nærheden af Pub Street. Faktisk foreslår jeg ekstremt dette sted (omkring Pub Street -området), da der er så meget at gøre. Angkor Night Market er ligeledes lige rundt om hjørnet.
Udveksling af valutaer
Den officielle valuta i Cambodja er Riel (KHR), selvom amerikanske dollars ofte accepteres i Siem Reap. Mange af de restauranter, jeg spiste på, viste på USD i stedet for KHR, selvom de accepterer begge dele. Siem Reap forventedes at være en overkommelig destination. While it stays affordable as well as numerous of the attractions, food, as well as accommodations are still affordable, I ended up costs waaaaay as well much since I brought Philippine pesos (PHP). Talrige pengeudskiftere i Siem Reap accepterer PHP, men satserne er forfærdelige, såååå langt fra de ægte forex -satser.

Like many tourists going to Siem Reap, my assumption is that the main reason you want to go right here is the Angkor Wat so let’s focus on it first. Angkor Wat is such a humongous site that it will take half a day (if not the whole day expecting you’re into the smallest details) to see all its galleries, libraries, corners, as well as towers. however that’s not the whole picture. It is just the centerpiece of the large UNESCO inscribed Angkor Archaeological Park that holds lots of other temples that are similarly captivating as well as interesting. Thus, the very first concern you ought to ask yourself is: exactly how numerous days do I want to spend checking out Angkor.
As for me, the response was “just one.” As much as I wished to see all the structures at the archaeological part, I likewise wished to experience the other locations around the area such as the Tonle Sap Lake.
Since I did not want to cram my routine as well as just have an easy, much more unwinded time in Siem Reap, my preliminary schedule was extremely simple:
Day 1: Arrival in Siem Reap
Day 2: Siem Reap City trip (am), Pub street as well as Angkor night Market (pm)
Day 3: Angkor Tour
Day 4: Tonle Sap Lake Tour, Leave Siem Reap at midnight

Budget
Update (Feb 2017): expense of Angkor someday Pass is now $37.
Before I break down my overall expenses, right here are the typical costs that I saw during my stay in Siem Reap. note that these are just based on my personal experience (so this listing depends heavily on the establishments I tried):
Angkor entrance fee: USD20/person (one day pass)
Angkor trip by tuktuk (3 temples): USD12
Usual expense of a meal (rice/noodles): USD2
Usual expense of a drink (shake/coke): USD0.75-USD1
Here’s the comprehensive breakdown of my costs during the 4-day trip. because I came from Bangkok, I’m not including the bus fares into as well as out of Siem Reap. Also, exactly how much I spent on booze, medicine, as well as pasalubong is NOT covered by this list.
USD 20 – Mandalay Inn (USD10 per night for 4 nights, split by 2 pax)
USD 20 – Angkor one-day pass
USD 12 – Tuktuk trip of Angkor
USD 3 – suggestion for tuktuk driver
USD 1 – Bike rental
USD 31 – overall meal expenses
USD 8 – Incidentals (bottled water, junk food, etc)
USD 95 – TOTAL
That’s exactly how much I spent in us dollars. however I lost a great deal of money in the conversion. The PHP-USD as well as PHP-KHR rates at many money changers were so far from their genuine value.
Nevertheless, my see to Siem Reap was a gratifying experience, a realization of a life-long dream to see Angkor Wat as well as the other ancient structures in the area!
