Day 2 (21/12/2016) : Small Circuit 

Journey to ticketing office

As I miss the chance to purchase my Angkor Pass the day before, I had to wake up earlier to get one on my way to Angkor Archaeological Park. In fact, I planned to be there before dawn for the famed sunrise view at Angkor Wat. I woke up at 5.00am and hurried to Apsara Authority Office with my rented e-bike.

Day 1 (20/12/2016) : KLIA2 – Siem Reap International Airport - Oasis Capsule Hotel – Old Market - Green e-Bike – Pub Street / The Alley – Oasis Capsule Hotel

Arriving in Siem Reap

I took an early morning flight to Siem Reap from KLIA2, and landed in Siem Reap International airport at 8am. It’s a relatively small airport and since it was weekday, there wasn’t many people flying that day and the airport was not busy. I cleared immigration in no time, and got out from the airport before 8.30am. I then walked to the transport counter to get a ride to the city. A tuk tuk or a bike ride to the city costs me US$6 one way. I previously received an email from my hotel that I can book through them for only US$4. Thinking it could be cheaper if I were to get one there myself, I didn’t book in advance. Great! Extra US$2 spent. I’ll pay. I picked tuk tuk since it was the same rate as a bike. The moment I hopped on, the driver started asking about my duration of stay and my plan and transport for my upcoming trip. He tried to sell his service to me for my temple visit, but I politely declined since I’ve got plans of my own. Honestly, he doesn’t like being turned down and he did started mumbling about me not giving him business. “Really should have booked with the hotel. Really should have booked with the hotel,” I thought to myself. But it’s just the start of my holiday, and I just keep my mouth shut and suck it up.
