The finale of the entire travel log. It is the last day in Siem Reap, and we had to leave in the morning on an early flight.
It is so early that not much of shop around the town is operating yet.

[Travel] Part 3 of 5, Cambodia
Following the previous post on my travel log to Siem Reap, Cambodia, we spent the first morning exploring the temples around The Bayon.
A shot taken after a drizzling sunrise session in front of Angkor Wat.
We were once again woke up at 5AM for our one-day trip towards Banteay Srei, an interesting temple dedicated to the Hindu god, Shiva, which located more than 30KM from Angkor. Instead of having Pele, Noy was our tuk-tuk driver for the day.
[Travel] Part 2 of 5, Cambodia
In the previous post of this travel log, I mentioned about this holiday is in October, which meant that it’s still one month away from November. Reason? To avoid the unnecessary peak season crowds. Downsides? It’s still a pretty wet season here in Cambodia, until November.
Did I mention that Khmers have huge affections towards river?
Also earlier :
- We looked at the Angkor sunset at Phnom Bakheng
- Bought the 3-day entry ticket
- Told the guest house that we will be going on a tour for the next 3 day, transport to be arranged by the guest house
We woke up at 5AM to prepare ourselves for the sunrise observation at Angkor. It was raining so heavy that the front door of the guest house is flooded. Usually the arrangement to see Sunrise in Angkor is simple.
As we woke up and prepared to go for the tour. There is this young man, by the name of Pele (Footballer name), asked if I’m going on the morning tour, I answered, yes, and we boarded his exquisite Tuk-Tuk, partially furnished.
- You talk to your guest-house’s receptionist on your interest in going on a tour, particularly in the morning where the sun rises behind Angkor Wat
- You will most likely need to depart from the guest house by 5AM, hence, waking up at 4AM, local time.
[Travel] Cycling-venture to Changi Village
Perhaps one of the most unusual outing that I have ever attended so far is this. Strolling around the East Coast to Changi Village, Singapore on a rented bicycle.
