15 ‘HANDY THINGS‘ YOU SHOULD KNOW:-
===============================
1) ‘Or-Kun’ is ‘thank you’ in Khmer.
2) Most Cambodian in Siem Reap understands Chinese and English.
3) Get a lesson on basic numeral in Khmer (at least 1 to 10). Very useful.
4) National currency is Riel, but USD is more popular in use.
5) USD1 = 4,000 Riels
6) Junks in New Market are cheaper than any other markets or souvenir shops.
7) Junks sold by peddlers (mostly kids) around the temple are the cheapest.
8) Artifacts they are selling in the markets are probably fakes.
9) Great collections of silk and gems could be found in the markets.
10) Never buy anything from those kids at the floating village.
11) Survey survey survey and negotiate negotiate negotiate! Don’t get reaped off.
12) Cambodia has the best not to mention dirt cheap beer in South East Asia.
13) Scour the town in late evening to find local snacks (must try the baby-duck in shell)
14) It’s the best way to check out the town and temples is on foot. Experience the lifestyle of the locals.
15) Get a copy of the ‘visitor guide’ available at most eatery outlet in town for FOC to find out more spectacular temples for visit.

In a nutshell, Cambodia (Siem Reap) is a wonderful and amazing place to travel to. The panoramic landscape and magnificent temples are enough to take your breath away. A backpacker heaven so to speak. Locals are extremely helpful and friendly considering the hard-ship they have gone through. I personally fell in love with Cambodian people. The food was great as well… and um… interesting. Too bad we missed out on the ‘fried tarantula’ dish. I think it’s you can find it in Phnom Penh. All in all it’s suffice to say i will be planning another visit hopefully soon.
