MY TOP 3 TEMPLES IN ANGKOR

Visiting Siem Reap, Cambodia means seeing tons of temples. There are so many temples in the area and my top 3 favorites are ANGKOR WAT, BAYON TEMPLE AND TA PROHM.

ANGKOR WAT

Best view during the sun rise. Make sure that you're in the area at around 5am. You'll be surprise to see how many people are trying to get a sunrise shot (and i'm one of them).

look at this sweethearts... busy taking pictures.. sweet :)

my sunrise shot was not that perfect... but still worth it !

BAYON TEMPLE

I want to see this because of the movie Lara Croft - Tomb Raider . Yes, they have a scene that was shot here. You'll see lots of stone faces. It's just so amazing to how something like this was built in the 12th century.

TA PROHM

Here you'll see big trees with big roots, as in huge roots.

look at that... super roots hehehe

 HAPPY TRAVEL!!!

BOU SAVVY GUEST HOUSE

If your looking for a place to stay in Siem Reap but don't want to pay that much, I would highly recommend the Bou Savvy Guest House and take the package they offer that will depend on how many nights you plan to stay there.

I do not have pictures of the Guest House but believe me it's okay.. If your in a budget this is the place to be =)

On our case, we got the TWO PERSON USD 66 deal for 3 nights 2 days. It's very compatible to our flight schedule since we arrived late in the evening. That would be 33USD each: includes your airport pickup, tuktuk for 2 days (temples), daily breakfast, one time dinner, unlimited mineral water while one tour, twin fan room, free wi fi and internet... all of these for just 33 usd... NOT BAD right?

But wait there's more, we're able to get the best tour guide/tuktuk driver in Siem Reap named Sarrat. He was so nice and knows a little english.. (thank God). He make sure that we are comfortable and safe. His just so nice.

The guest house was a walking distance to the Pub Street.. yes walking distance, around 10 to 15 minutes walk and just enjoy the busy streets of Siem Reap.

Just check their website and send an email -

NO HASSLES - NO DEPOSIT - NO SCAM

EL NIDO ISLAND HOPPING AND SNORKELING

One major activity in El Nido aside from scuba diving (which i do not have a budget for now) is island hopping. We got the package A and C since as recommended by most travel bloggers. It was a total of 3 days 2 nights trip and we just can't get enough.

The weather was not that good since it's raining but thanks to my water proof camera I was able to take some pictures.

We booked our island hopping with Lagoon Tours owned by Kuya Harvey (thanks to angel of LAKWATSERO) we did get a very good rate for the entire 2 day trip . (low season yehey!!!)

Let me show you some pictures of the islands.
