Need advise on coming Cambodia Trip - Siem Reap & Phnom Penh

Hi



i will be going to Cambodia on April for 6D/5N and i%26#39;ve decided to spend 4D in Siem Reap %26amp; 2D in Phnom Penh.



Can i get some advices on the itinerary for Siem Reap?



Because i really wanna visit all the temples including the Tonle Sap and also enjoy the sunrise %26amp; sunset scenery.



And is a guide necessary for this case?

There are several particular routes that all the drivers know, and can take you on. When you arrive at your hotel, you can have them book you a tuk-tuk driver (or air-conditioned car, if you prefer) and you can have a look at the routes on their maps. You will probably see a local guide called ';Siem Reap Angkor Visitors Guide'; and that will have info on the ';circuits'; as wel (it%26#39;s free, and you can get it anywhere). Price varies a little for the routes as the farther they drive, the more they charge. They will also charge an additional $3 to get up at the crack o%26#39; dawn and take you to see a sunrise. Guides are not necessary, but you can hire one if you like.

Your trip will allow for a 3 day pass in SR, which if purchased after 5pm will allow you to stay in the park for free that afternoon.





Easiest thing is to negotiate with a tuk tuk driver who speaks reasonable english. He will plan out a tour for you, however if you want to do something further afield a taxi might be more appropriate.





We have some pics and stories of our trip to PP and SR here... www.bobandjanette.com which may help.





Happy %26amp; safe travels
