  6. You cannot tour temples 24/7, so it is nice to have a guide for alternative activities after visiting Ankgor Wat in Siem Reap.

  7. This post really makes me miss SR. I visited 4 times on my last backpacking adventure in SE Asia.

    Your pics project a cleaner, more swept up image of Siem Reap than I remember from early 2008. I suppose it has developed very quickly.

    • flipnomad says:

      some roads are still the same lol… still muddy in the outskirts of Sr just like when I last went there last 2009 :-) but things are improving :-)

  9. too bad i only shopped at the night market near our hotel… but then again, it’s also a good thing. i don’t have to spend as much during shopping :)
