Exploring Cambodia
Cambodia is one of the most visited countries in South East Asia. Approximately 5 million tourists visit this country every year. Because of their rich culture and traditions, Cambodia continuous to lure travelers all over the world and leave them awestruck with their history especially in religion and war. The world famous, largest religious monument in the world, Angkot Wat contributes colossal revenues to the Khmer economy, and being in Cambodia without visiting this precious place will not validate your trip. My budget for this trip is $200.00 (P10,000).
Listed below are some of the places I visited last December 2017
SIEM REAP
TEMPLES
I booked an activity via Klook for this trip which cost around 600 pesos, including service van with pick-up from your hotel, tour guide and a bottled water. The ticket in Angkot Wat is not included (which cost $37 for one day, $62 for 3 days and $72 for seven days). I only bought a 1-day pass because the tour only includes the three temples listed below. #IMO, 1 day in Angkor Wat is enough, but if have a huge fascination in temples, then you can avail the 3 or 7 day pass.
ANGKOR WAT
TA PROHM TEMPLE
The infamous "Tomb Raider"temple, as many called it, is one of the most visited temples in Angkor complex.
Siem Reap City Tour
We hired a Tuktuk to bring us to the famous tourist spots at Siem Reap. This includes the Angkor National Museum, War Museum, War Remnant Museum and other temples around the vicinity.

WAR MUSEUM
War Museum in Siem Reap is the largest in Cambodia. We hired a Tuktuk to bring us to this place including Angkor
City Temples
Siem Reap at Night
PUB STREET
The place in Siem Reap that never sleeps. Pub Street is a road full of bars and restaurants. This is where people drink till they drop. People are dancing in the middle of the street like there's no tomorrow! I also found the best draft beer which only cost $0.50. This is a must-visit place for party-goers or people who just wanna have fun.
PHONM PENH
TUOL SLENG GENOCIDE MUSEUM
Royal Palace
Royal Palace serves as the official Royal residence of the King of Cambodia.

ANGKOR WAT

| Sunrise in Angkor Wat - one of the most majestic views a person would ever witness in his entire life, and I am lucky to be one |
Sunrise in Angkor Wat is one of the most fascinating moments I've witness in my entire life. Tip: Be as early as you can to be at the perfect spot. We arrived around 6 o'clock in the morning which is already considered late. There are many tourists already in Angkor Wat as early as 5 o'clock and it's hard to find a good spot to witness this amazing view and to take pictures.
After the sunrise, the tour guide lead us inside the Angkor Wat. The design of Angkor Wat is amazingly symmetrical. I don't know how they did it but it is just beautiful!
BAYON TEMPLE
The infamous "Tomb Raider"temple, as many called it, is one of the most visited temples in Angkor complex.
