My Honest Take On The Angkor Wat Sunrise Angkor Wat at sunrise is worth it. Yes, even with the 03.30 AM alarm, but there’s a catch and I’ll get to it. I’ll be honest, dragging myself out of bed was rough. I was half asleep, a bit grumpy and wondering why I’d signed up for…
Is Angkor Botanical Garden Worth Visiting? The Angkor Botanical Garden in Siem Reap is completely free to enter. No ticket, no queue at a booth, nothing. If you’ve just handed over money for a one-day Angkor Pass, that alone makes it worth a look. It sits on the main road between Siem Reap and Angkor…
How To Visit Tomb Raider Temple AKA Ta Prohm I’ll be honest, when I first started planning Angkor, Ta Prohm kept getting written off as “the one with the trees,” like it’s a side attraction rather than one of the main events. That undersells it badly. I spent 27 days in Cambodia, splitting my time…

That’s the short answer. The longer one covers how many…

Best Area to Stay In Siem Reap Where to stay in Siem Reap comes down to one decision that matters more than any other: how far you end up from the Old French Quarter. I’ll be honest, I got this wrong before I even arrived. I’d read a few too many blogs going on about…
My Detailed 3 Day Itinerary For Siem Reap Is 3 days in Siem Reap enough? Yes, but only if you’re strategic about it. I spent 9 days there, and while some of those were work days, I still saw more than most people manage in a fortnight, so I know exactly what you can and…
Best Things To Do In Siem Reap And Not Just Temples Siem Reap is not just about Angkor Wat, though I know that is why you are here. I fell down a Google rabbit hole planning my own trip and kept finding the same five temple photos on every site, with barely a mention of…
