Siem Reap-meh

Flew in on Lao Airlines from LP..about $145 each with a stop in Pakse.

Hotel
pre-booked on Agoda.com, Villa Siem Reap, away from the busy noise of the Pub street triangle, on Taphul Street off sam dech tep Rd a block away from the park Hyatt being built.  Great location. Included breakfast and $30 a night. Lovely friendly staff.

Angkor wat
Took a hotel arranged tuk tuk. Whole day was $15 for the short route. Mistake was to ask driver to take us to a lunch place as he ended up taking us to a place where he most likely got commisison, and it was the most expensive meal in Cambodia for us (OK, still only $25), but word of warning, donlt ask to be taken somewhere if you want an authentic place.

entry fee: $20 for a day pass. Keep pass with you at all times. onme day pass was enough for us frankly.

Food
Khemer kitchen-open facing restaurant along the Street 9 side of the psar. Shrimp pancake and stir fry veggies and a few beers about $10 or less.
cant recall name, but on Sivatha road one block south of the intersection of the Park Hyatt. Open facing restaurant with massive grill outside and lovely dining area both outside and 'covered'. (Blue wave?)  Clean, good quality and not too bad in price about $10 per head.
supermarket in a mall where Pizza company and ice cream parlor. get any pepepr or spcies here as they are nicely packaged and much cheaper than the psar here or anywhere else kin cambodia we found.

Transport
bus to phnoem penh was a 10 seater mini-van (VIP?) where an office is locagted kin same block as the nice grill restaurant. per person $8-10???  About 6 or so per day. 4hrs.
