Xin
Chao Mrs Than Mai .. Thanks for a very nice arranged program and all
the experience .. I send for you now some information on my trip
Hotels : Phnom
Penh Anise Hotel - The hotel quite small and old, but the staff very
friendly and good service. Location quite reasonable to walk around
and everything not so far. The price a bit expensive for this hotel,
because room quite small and old, maybe more about US$ 35 would be
reasonable, but the service and staff quite good. I see a few other
hotels nearby the river, little better location near to the shops and
restaurants, around the same price of US$45 so I might change if go
again.
Siem Reap Sonalong Boutique - Very nice hotel, beautiful
scenery and big room with balcony. The price of this same Anise but
more new and with big garden and swimming pool. The hotel is quite new
and clean and friendly and good service staff. The manager of hotel
always available to meet the guests and assit to check in. Location a
bit far to walk to main road but tuk tuk available at the door. I
might stay this hotel again if I visit Siem Reap but again I see other
hotels for same price close to shops and coffee shops.
Guides :
Phnom Penh Miss Nara - Very friendly guide with good information and
good english. Always take good care of me and show me around to enjoy
the programs and give me a lot of information about everything we see.
In the last day, invite me with her friend to restaurant for coffee
and ice cream and dont let me pay.
Siem Reap Mr Souvan - Very friendly guide, little bit ok english but have a lot of knowledge and take good care of me also.
In both place, drivers also very friendly and all the programs in both
place, have a very good time together, so that we are more like
friends not tourist and guide.
Program :
Everything well
arranged with good timings and lot of time to walk around and relax.
Lot of cold water and cold towel available all the day, and restaurants
for lunch very nice and local to try Cambodian foods and meet local
people. I learn also a few words in Cambodian that I try to talk and
make a lot of new friends. Nearby hotel in Phnom Penh, I make friend
with motorbike taxi who take me around after the program just to drive
and see the local sights for only US$ 2 or US$ 3. In Siem Reap one
time the car breakdown after the 1hr foot massage program but I enjoy
to sit and talk with the local people, and waiting till the car ready
to go.
Overall I have no complaint at all for anything and enjoy
everything a lot. I am sure I need to go back to Cambodia to visit
some other places so we will discuss about that after a while. I plan
to visit during late November.
Only we had a little confusion about
the schedule because I think book 5 nights in Phnom Penh and 5 nights
in Sieam Reap, so when I book hotel in Sieam Reap is from 4th May but
from your side 3rd May. But is ok because the hotel have no problem
to arrange me arrive 1 day early, after I tell to the guide if not
available I can sleep one night in the temple with monk. ☺
Thank you very much for all the booking Mrs Than Mai, really I enjoy it all a lot with no problem at all.
