We booked a 2-day tour from Narin, our tour guide. Probably one of the best tour guides in Cambodia since he can speak english very well. We booked at the Gloria Angkor Hotel which is a almost 15 minutes away from the center. It was relatively cheap for Php 1,200 per night for 2 with breakfast. Such a treat!
The hotel offers free pick-up from the airport to the hotel and tadaaaaaaaa!
It was a totally different experience of hotel airport pick-up since we're kinda used to a van or car service. This one is an authentic Cambodian "tuktuk" type, yes, we went local first thing in Cambodia! We we welcomed by these treats as soon as we arrived at our hotel:
We were up early the next day for our tour, manna it was tiring walking around from one temple to another but we were amazed by all the temples that we visited:
Such an awesome view! The intricate details of each temple is amazing... makes me wonder how they were able to do it. Angkor Wat is equally beautiful as Banteay Srei. I actually loved it more than Angkor Wat, probably because the temple was packed at that time while we enjoyed the peace and quiet exploring Banteay Srei. After a loong tiring day exploring temples, we had enough time to have a quick dip at the hotel pool area before dinner.
Of course, we'll never leave Cambodia without trying out their authentic yummy hot pot food as well as exploring the Angkor Night Market for some shopping:
There you have it folks, our short but sweet trip to Cambodia. And yes, I have to say you have to make it a part of your bucket list! :)
