Perhaps what truly strikes you about Angkor is the desolation left behind by the fading prosperity—the power of time.
The silhouette of history in the fading afterglow of the setting sun is a truly breathtaking beauty.
Etix is so convenient, trip dot com has done a wonderful job. In China we also book everything on trip dot com and now our Cambodia trip also the same. Easy peasy app. We love it. Angkor Wat is a must to visit. Please come and experience the rich history of what it has to offer!

$10.25 Entrance fee as of today. Intended to visit after 2 pm as most information online mentioned that 11:00-2:00 was their lunch break. However, my tuktuk driver for the day insisted that it's open. So he dropped me off at around 1:30, and was actually allowed to enter. Strolled around for around 40 mins. Unfortunately some areas are under construction at the moment. Still enjoyed the other areas, nonetheless. Ended the visit with fresh fruit smoothie ($2) by the exit. Free water bottles are also provided before you leave.I regret not taking more photos.

Plenty of foods available for all local and international tourists. Near the market, you can enjoy sightseeing along the Mekong river with vibrant bars and pubs
Phnom Penh Night Market is located by the Tonle Sap River, between Road 102 and Road 106. It is an open-air night market, rebuilt from a street garden. The original grass was replaced by a cement brick floor, covering an area of about 2,000 square meters, surrounded by iron pipe railings. There is a constant stream of people every night, especially during the peak tourist season. There are many kinds of goods in the night market, including clothing, shoes and hats, flowers, food, jewelry, cosmetics, daily necessities, and a large number of stone carvings, bamboo and wood products, and Khmer-style Buddha statues and other handicrafts. It is also close to the Tonle Sap River and the bar street with many foreigners, so you can also go there for a stroll.

It definitely was an experience! They have different stories to showcase. I was able to witness "Sokha". A mix of drama and comedy play, while showcasing their acrobatic skills. It tells a story about a young girl who experienced the dark times during the rogue and was able to heal through expressing her love for art and also encouraged other affected children to do the same. You'll definitely have a great time. Most importantly, profits will be used to fund their art school.
Worth to visit. The shows starts is very good. Although the shows starts at 8pm, the food stores are opened from 5.30pm onwards. There are also some performances at 7pm by the local kids performing the traditional dances.

Cambodia🇰🇭Phnom Penh【Independence Monument】
The Independence Monument was built to commemorate Cambodia's independence from French colonial rule on November 9, 1953. It was completed in March 1958, 37 meters high, with 7 floors, and 100 snake gods (symbols of Cambodian culture) on it. Every year during Independence Day, the Cambodian king or the king's representative holds a grand celebration here. Many visiting foreign heads of state also come here to lay wreaths.
In 1863, Cambodia was invaded by France and occupied by Japan in 1940. After Japan surrendered in 1945, the French colonists returned and invaded Cambodia again
Address: Norodom Blvd, 41, Phnom Penh
Considered the center of Phnom Penh, the independence Monument is iconic. It's te city's heartbeat- people exercise, dance, relax or shop.

Cambodia🇰🇭Siem Reap [Pub Street]
Pub Street
PubStreet is near the old market in Siem Reap. There are many snacks along the way. They are good value for money. There are some travel agencies near PubStreet, where you can buy bus tickets to Phnom Penh, Bangkok, Thailand, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. There are many bars, restaurants, massage shops and some small commodity markets on both sides of PubStreet. You can buy some souvenirs here.
The night is beautiful, the weather is great, and the mood is super positive. I met up with three or five friends and had a drink with my girlfriends. It is also a good way to relieve stress and relax. There are many bars in a row, and there are many choices. I am a face party, so the drinks must be beautiful and photogenic. Whether they taste good or not is second to others.

Angkor Wat is famous all over the world, but if you want to experience the customs of Siem Reap, you need to start from Angkor Night Market. Strolling on the streets of Siem Reap, the simple and traditional Cambodian style and the free and leisurely Western-style life have become one of the most popular places in the city at night.
It's a bit like being in Thailand, there are many merchants, especially those pushing carts to sell fruit, and there are many street shops selling paintings, with smiling faces being the most important theme. There are also many massage parlors, and the lighting is generally a little weak.
