Before I kick off with my Siem Reap, Cambodia series (and before we all get templed out) lemme show
you some scenes from our trip. The photos will somehow give you an idea on the city of Siem Reap, the gateway to Angkor region.
Where are you from?
Philippines
Oh!
Marimar and Pacquiao
Cambodians are actually
fans of Philippine Telenovelas. You’d actually see most of them spending their
afternoon siestas in front of the
television watching Khmer-dubbed Philippine shows (Khmer is the official
language of Cambodia, the Cambodian people are also called Khmer).
Me and my buddy’s Siem
Reap trip is one of those spur-of-the-moment thing. With no clue about what to
expect, we headed to the Kingdom of Cambodia and explored Siem Reap in four
days (check here for discounted tours, transportation and activities in Siem Reap).
Cambodia is a part of
the Association of Southeast Asian Nations thus, our Philippine passports
passed through the Immigrations like a breeze (thanks for Visa exemptions). We
got a 21-day free tourist visa. For Non-ASEAN passport holders, a
Visa-On-Arrival services at the airport is offered. Check out here for more information
The currency in Cambodia
is Riel but you could actually use US$
in transacting everywhere. Don’t be stunned when you’re paying in US$ and then
receiving some changes in Riels. The
currency exchange is around $1 to 4,000 Riels.
In the next posts, I’d
be sharing you our experiences and adventures in the Kingdom of Cambodia (Siem Reap).
I didn't expect that I'll fall in love in Siem Reap. I only had to regrets: not having a good camera during my visit, and not staying longer (damn you, cebu pacific!!!!)
