IMPORTANT TIPS

• The three main temples are Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom & Ta Prohm. These three temples can

be visited in one day.

• Temples by Tuk-Tuk may sound like a lot of fun, but bearing in mind the extreme heat - 32

degrees plus (Mar – May), and the slowness of a tuk-tuk, etc. We do not recommend this

product for VIPs or old clients.

• Meals at temples are not available, but there are food stalls in between.

• We do not recommend the flight from Siem Reap to Sihanoukville because it is unreliable and

often cancelled.
