Angkor Wat is a place which i wanted to go since many years ago. I was so attracted by its unique and gorgeous temple. Last year, finally i got there!!!See my taken pic below of Angkor Wat, Isn't it look gorgeous huh?
If are planning to have a leisure travel but not a tiring trip, then Siem Reap probably not a good choice for you, because you needa walk alot and climb temple rock staircase. I swear its quite tiring yet the weather there is too hot all year!! Remember to wear jacket, cap and sun protection cream.
If you wanna have a cheap trip in Siem Reap, then you can save in transportation part. My suggestion is, you can rent a Tuk Tuk which cost u around 15 usd for whole day ( 8 hours). For a Tuk Tuk, max persons can sit are 4 adults. Depends on the size of that person. If over 100 kg, then only 2 persons.
There are small circle and big circle in Angkor. What does it means with the big and small circle actually? Well, small circle means only cover a small area of the angkor. Angkor wat is in that small circle. Then Big circle is that whole Angkor Thom. You can separate 2 days to go these 2 circles. Either u can choose 1st day to small circle or big circle. My advise is 1st day to small circle, coz it covers Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat is the most famous temple in Cambodia, therefore, my suggestion is go there 1st. The entrance fee for 5 days pass in Angkor (big and small circle) cost at 40 usd.
The Whole Angkor, there are alot alot temples which look similar. I have no idea how many temples out there. But for sure, if u wanna visit each of the temple, make sure your legs are strong enough and won't exhaust easily.
For dressing code, actually not one will block u if u wear a singlet. But for respect to their cultures and religion, make sure do not wear too over expose clothes.
The another famous temple is Bayon. The special about Bayon is its FOUR FACES buddha .

As i said earlier, there are actually quite alot of temples in Angkor which are similar, but of course got some temples which are outstanding than the others. Besides Angkor Wat, the next famous temple is called " Ta Phrom". The special about Ta Phrom is its giant tree which its root grow against the temple walls.

In Siem Reap, Besides temples, you actually can visit other places such as Tonle Sap Lake. Its a floating village in Siem Reap. At here, you can explore the living life of the local people.

As you can see the picture above,the villagers in Tonle Sap Lake cooking using wood, their living conditions were bad. Their houses are either made by dried palm leaves or bamboos. After visited Tonle Sap Lake, i just realized that how fortunate am i. I should appreciate what i have had now.
