DAY 1 on 16 th November: Pick you up from the airport and then we can start the tour. Angkor Thom: South gate of Angkor Thom (visiting the four giant faces of the gate), Central Angkor Thom (Bayon, Baphuon, Phimeanakas, Terrace of the Elephants, Terrace of the Leper King), Victory gate, Thommanon, Spean Thmar, Ta Keo (short visit), Ta Prohm (known as the jungle temple - famous for the trees growing from the temple walls) and sunset at Phnom Bakheng.

DAY 2 on 17th November ( Start the tour at 5:00 AM. ): Banteay Srei temple (beautiful and intimate 10th century temple built of pink sandstone), Banteay Samre, East Mebon, Ta Som and Neak Pean temple and lunch.
In the afternoon: Preah Khan (an extensive 56-hectare Buddhist complex where King Jayavarman VII finally defeated the Chams and the Cham king was killed there) and Angkor Wat . Traditional dance show in the evening.

DAY 3 on 18th November ( Start the tour at 5:00 AM. ): Bemg Belea ( 82 km from Siem Reap ), Roluos group , there are three main temples like Preah Ko, Bakong and Lolei temples ( the first major capital of Angkorian era Khmer Empire ), lunch in town.
In the afternoon: Wat Thmei (local Killing Field memorial), and the view of the Tonle Sap lake (the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, cyclically swelling from 2,500 square kilometers to more than 12,000 square kilometers in the wet season and you can visit the floating fishing villages and a boat trip is available).

DAY 4 on 19th November ( Start the tour at 6:00 AM. ) : To phnom Penh. It costs US$ 60 for 4 persons not US$ 60 for per person. US$ is for one way only so it will cost US$ 120 for two ways.
DAY 5 on 20th November: Before you leave Siem Reap. You can go to see Wat Thmei (local Killing Field memorial) and catch Balloon rides. To the airport.

Price for the tour from Day 1-Day 5 , I would like to charge you US$ 290 totally for 4 people. Price quoted is the net cost ( i.e included tax, services, driver, petrol, car, pick-up services from and to the airport ). For the other expenditures, you have to pay for by yourself such as tickets to visit the temples of Angkor, boat trip, balloon rides, food, drinks...).


what catches you the most as you're looking through the schedule? absolute non stop ongoing trip, hahaha we would be so exhausted at the end of the day not to mention , how exciting it would be looking at all the pit stops we're making :). I cant wait * however the sudden panic of not having enough money, it would be a tight budget during and after the trip. CAMBODIA is expensive! im also estatic about the balloon ride, always wanted to go on one :) yeay! eh, wonder when il be able to drop off things to the hospital and mosque.....??

i have predicted that during this trip i will be seeing heaps of cows & veging with my fellow cows on the green leafies as i might be too scared to eat anything else. Perhaps a lot of fruits too!
