Cambodia thread 3

[matetreyes]

ok lang naman walang tour guide pero mas save ng time kapag meron kasi yung mga temples ang daming lusutan.

[_Jasmin_]

To those who have visited Siem Reap around May, what is the weather around that time? Ill be there on May 13-15. And what kind of clothes is recommended? And shoes? Maalikabok ba? Thanks!

[dramaqueen]

Hi girls I have tried to BR grabe nahilo ako ang daming iba ibang temples pala. We're booked in Cashew Nut guesthouse and we're going sa June. Do we just book the tours via our guesthouse? Meron naman yun for sure diba?

[a.k.a. HELGA]

^ You can email your guesthouse to inquire if they offer tour services and guides. Most of them have these kind of services.

[emceenglot]

hello, is it recommended that the direct buses from BKK to SR be booked ahead? Sa June pa kami mag-travel. Thanks!

[junebride]

Hello mga sis! first post ko here sa forum. Dun pa kasi ako sa engagement & weddings palaging nagbabasa.

We are planning to go to Cambodia as well for our honeymoon.   Ask ko lang ano yung direct bus na going to BKK Plan kasi namin MLA-SR-BKK-KL-MLA

Thanks in advance. itong thread 3 pa lang kasi ang na baback-read ko

Just got back from our Siem Reap-BKK trip last week. Sobrang init!! And at random parts of the day bumubuhos ang ulan so ang humid humid.

^ We took the direct bus from Siem Reap to Bangkok which we booked through our hotel a day before our planned trip to Bangkok. We paid $28 for the bus ticket that includes packed lunch. Travel took almost one whole day. We left the bus station in SR around 9am and arrived BKK around 5pm.

[a.k.a. HELGA]

^ hi sis, does this bus do the reverse route? BKK-Siem Reap?

[_Jasmin_]

^I'm sure there's a reverse route but I don't have a firsthand experience so I don't have any info to share. But I've known some people and read a lot of (random) blogs on the net who took the BKK-Siem Reap route so I'm sure you can find some info.

Hi sis _Jasmin, sang hotel ka nag-stay sa Rep? We are planning to stay sa Gloria Angkor Hotel. Meron kasi silang package ng 4days/4nights. Nakakuha ako ng one way ticket via ceb pac worth 2,099 ata yun.  so medyo nakamura ng kaunti.

Sis regarding sa bus to BKK, ayan ba yung Nattaka Bus Corp? yung near sa KFC? direct trip to BKK na ba yan sis?

Thanks in advance

[_Jasmin_]

^Sorry for the late reply. We stayed at Parklane Hotel. Sorry, I don't know the name of the bus eh. The tickets they gave us are in Khmer so wala kaming maintindihan. And I don't remember if the bus station was anywhere near KFC. Sorry about that. It was a direct route to BKK.

[eischied_21]

kaya na ba ang 1 day and half para mapuntahan yun famous tourist spot like angkor w**..enough na ba half day dito?

[vhanya]

^yes 1 day is enough to absorb the entire Angkor complex

Hi mga sis!  Any suggestions of a good hotel with package tour na?  Medyo tamad na ako mag back read.  Hehe!  And gusto na sana namin magbook para mahabol sale ng Cebu Pac.  If I read it right, until July 9 na lang ata yung sale.  Nag inquire ako sa The Villa Siem Reap.  Okay kasi package nila.  Dun din nagstay friends ko in 2012 and they availed one of their packages.  Kaso medyo bothered lang ako sa reply nila.  Instead of advising me of the payment options available para sa reservation, they were asking for a copy of my Passport.  I'm not confident in providing that kasi dami ng case ng Identity Theft ngayon na ginagamit for fraud.  Praning na kung praning pero it's better to be safe than sorry.  Hehe!  Ganun ba talaga or may basis paranoia ko?  I asked my friend and she said they were never asked to provide a copy of their passport.  Credit card details daw hiningi.  I'm just a bit worried din kasi 2 lang kame ng friend ko pupunta dun then both of us are female pa.

Planning to go bangkok-siem reap dinnext year with. My office mate.. Mga magkano expenses niyo?

Diy na rin itinerary namin.. Okay yung blog ni poortraveler and she recommends dinto bike around na lang instead of a tuktuk which I plan to do. Worry ko lang is I don't know how to get about

Mga sisses who have been to bangkok to siem reap how much mga nagastos niyo excluding yung airfare.

[esor]

^last year Bkk-Siem Reap-Vietnam kami, expenses is less than 15k excluding airfare, shopping, pasalubongs.

[Kitchen Goddess]

^^ $100 is enough for gastos excluding hotel, airfare, angkor heritage pass everything there is cheap

[tart]

going to SR on july 17 then BKK via air asia on the 19th... we decided na mag plane na lang since ang tagal ng travel sa bus and sabi friend ko na wala naman daw view...

[entwife]

It took us 10 hours SR- BKK. Ang ginawa namin nun is taxo from SR to Aran since 4 naman kami. Then bus from Aran to Bangkok. Parang 6am to 4pm kami bumyahe. Comfortable naman yung bus so okay lang. And then parang sakto lang kasi na pagdating namin sa border eh may paalis na bus.

Just finished back reading and mas lalo tuloy ako ma-excite. Our trip will be this September na and we'll be staying in Bou Savy as well. We availed of their package na, na USD 112 for 2D/3N. They have planned itinerary na for the first 2 days.

    - Day One: After having breakfast, start to visit South Gate of the Angkor Thom, Bayon, Baphoun, Elephant Terrace, Terrace of Leper king, Takoa, Ta Prom. Break for Lunch. Afer Lunch visit Banteay kdey, Srah Srang and Angkor W a t.

        - Day Two: After Having Breakfast, Start to Visit Pre Rup, Banteay Srey, Banteay Samre. Break for Lunch. After visit East Mebon, Tasom, Neak Pean, Preah Khan and Sun Set at Bakheng Mountain.

Would you know, mga sis, if I should avail of the 1-day pass in Angkor W a t or the 3-day pass because we have scheduled tour pa the second day? Or hindi na ba kasali yung mga places na scheduled for the 2nd day tour for the pass, therefore, should avail lang nung 1-day pass. Sayang kase dahil 1-day pass is $20 na. 3-day pass is $40. Sayang din ma-save na $10. TIA!
