With patience and the right timing :) At times I would wait until people walked away before quickly snapping the shots.

Hi..me and my friends will going to Siem Reap for 3 days..i think i might jus get the 1day Pass for Angkor Wat..here the highlight i do want to visit after view your blog..will start on 5am for there to see the sunrise Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Bayon, Banteay Srei Temple ( the lady’s temple ), Ta Som , Preah khan, Ta Prohm( the Tomb Raider temple),Banteay Samre from your opion do u think we can finish it by 1 day ?

Yes. If the fee hasn’t changed, it would still be $20 for a day, and $40 (2 x 20) for 2 days.

hi…i m going to Siem Reap on this coming October..i would like to ask u that pass on both days (2 x US$20) ? so u mean the entry pass for 2 days was also USD$20 ? i thought USD $20 is just for 1 day ? if 2 day is need pay USD$40 as like 3 days pass price..

I think most of the tuk tuk drivers are just that. They drive you around and will wait for you outside the temple to drive you to the next destination. I doubt any of them can double as guides. If you need a tour guide, you need to do some research online to find a good one.

Intend to visit Cambodia in Aug’10. Need some advice from you.Is it convenient to move around from temple to temple? how do u get reliable tuk tuk uncle? can they be our guide or engage them for my 3 days trip?

Thanks much… I am so looking forward to my trip in August. Hope it is as fun as yours is! =]

Yes we bought a pass on both days (2 x US$20). If you’re going there for 3 days, you can get the 3-day pass at US$40.

Thanks for the info. I noticed that you brought a temple pass on day 2. Did you have to buy another temple pass for your visit on day 3?

We set off from our resort at 5:30am. We still had ample time to find a good spot when we got there.

What time did you have to leave for the temples to catch the sunrise?

Thanks! I still wish that I had captured the colours and intricate details of the monument in those reflection photos. But I guess it’s not that easy with my compact camera.

Ah yes, I waited until everyone walked away before I snapped the shots. You’re a sharp one for noticing that. I like my photos to depict the actual monuments as they are, with their details unblocked by anyone. And sometimes I had to be really patient to wait for that.

Oh yes, we visited Banteay Srei. It’s a lot further away from Siem Reap when you compare it with Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom. And it’s also the prettiest! I would be blogging about it in an upcoming post.

I wonder whether you have visited the Angkor National Museum? The feel of it, the layout and all, reminds me very much of our Asian Civilisations Museum! You can see the photos in my following post.
