Most establishments accept both USD and KHR. But it’s safer to have USD para in case maraming matira sa allowance mo, accepted pa rin outside ung USD. Hirap kasi magconvert ng KHR to other currencies outside Cambodia.

Hi Yoshke, thank you very much for the tip and fast response. Tuktuk it is! :) Last few questions, i’ve been reading a lot about establishments accepting USDs, is this preferred than their local currency? im scared kasi that if i change my allowance to KHRs, biglang hindi tanggapin ng restaurants and shops. :”>

Hi Melinda, definitely NOT on foot. The Angkor complex is vaaaaast.

I’ve tried both exploring on bike and on tuktuk. The bike is really exhausting. I would recommend the tuktuk because going around WITHIN individual temple grounds is tiring enough. Angkor Wat alone is huge. And you’ll be climbing a lot of stairs at other sites. Much more tiring if you’re traveling from one temple to another too. The tuktuk ride became my resting time.

:)

Would you recommend going on a bicycle tour around the Angkor complex? or susuko ako sa exhaustion/pagod? haha! in your opinion, what’s the best way to explore the temples/grounds, by foot/bike/tuktuk?

Thanks! cheers to more travels. :)

Hi Phil, it’s okay lang po to travel alone. I was alone po when I explored Angkor for the first time. Rent na lang kayo ng tuktuk. :)

Or if sa hostel kayo magstay, befriend other solo travelers para may kasama po kayo and ka-split ng gastos.

I just read your experience in Siem Reap and its awesome. By the Filipino po and planning to visit Siem Riep this coming July ‘2019. Ask lang is it okay to travel alone especially kung malaki at malawak yung mga temples/ruins ng Angkor Wat.

Thank You & Regards,

Phil

Hi Neena,

It’s really hot that time. Definitely not ideal. But if you want to go for it, there are ways to go around it. For example, limit your sightseeing outside to early morning and late afternoons, and stay indoors at around noon. When exploring Angkor, don’t go biking. Just charter a tuktuk/van and be comfortable. Also, make sure your hotel has airconditioner.

:)

hahahaha go go go! maganda pag may photographer haha

Alam mo ba dahil may professional photographer dun sa opening so na-post sa official fb page nila yung photo ko (with the chef who invited me and a manager). Super out of place, napaka tropical ng suot ko samantalang semi-formal sila lahat, pero welcoming naman sila lahat. I also met a lot of local chefs! and the food, hay exciting!

But I shared my experience (sa exit) para sa mga kapwa Pinoy as reference. Also, be cool lang while “in detention”.

*look for true café (internet and printing), you can also ask them to assist you to go to the nearest international bank.

Babalik ako dun, siguro next year na at may kasama para may photographer. :D

Hi Cath, thanks for sharing! Sobrang lucky nung grand opening invite! :D

Yes, the Thai Immigration recently got much much stricter. We actually included the 10K baht requirement to our Bangkok guide 2 months ago because may mga incidents na rin.

Yung first Siem Reap trip namin, same din yung expenses nung sayo kasi I did the ANgkor Tour DIY style and skipped the museum and the waterfall. (Wala pa ring Klook that time.) Na-scam lang din ako nang bongz hahahaha. Super newbie pa ako nun.
