Che-Cheh: looks like u’re going on the same day as leo here. Angkor Wat, Angkor Thomand the other temples in the small circuit can take u up to 2 days if you really want to visit the temples in detail… and i hear it feels and looks very different in the morning and evening!

It is far to walk from one temple to the next so do take a tuk-tuk to travel within the Angkor Park itself. You’d need the tuk-tuk to get u from Angkor Park to town too… after that you may choose to walk around town without the tuk-tuk. It is about 10 mins from Central Market to Old Market. However you may need a tuk-tuk back to your hostel/hotel after u wonder around town so I would recommend u book a tuk-tuk for the whole day (about USD15 max – not much of a diff if u just book it to Angkor Complex) – they wait for u and if u’re tired from the temples and heat u can always hop on and ask them to take u from one part to another part of town.

I enjoyed reading your Siem Reap travelogue very much. I’m going there this Sunday.

I won’t be going to Tonle Sap and those temples situated further away like Roluos Group and Banteay Srei. I’m getting the 3 days pass and following my planned itinerary, I can finish visiting the temples in 2 days including revisiting some temples again. Hmm not sure this is good or bad. Haha

I’m just wondering whether I should hire a tuk-tuk for whole day (means bringing me to Angkor Park and also around town) or just to Angkor Wat. Is it far to walk around town? Say from Central Market to Old Market, how long will it takes by foot?

I remember the floating houses on Tonle Sap Lake as one of the most unforgettable sights I’ve seen anywhere. Hope to visit Cambodia again in the future much as I suppose you would want to re-visit it again someday.
