Re: Angkor Wat experiences

I was at Angkor Wat just a few weeks ago.   The entrance fee is now an
obligatory 3-day pass (cost $20.00 USD).  Upon entry, you will have an
ID photo taken, which wil be enclosed in plastic and must be kept on
your person at all times and shown to guards upon request. (You get to
keep the photo).  My travel companion and I had a car, driver and guide.
Since it was off-season, it wasn't too crowded.  The whole area was
spectacular, but there is a "tourist route" which can be followed.
Reading up on the site is definitely recommended.  You could probably
spend a week there, just looking around.  There is a balloon
ride($10.00USD) which is well worth it to see the area from the air.  An
official guide is also well worth the money, if you have it to spare.
Cambodian prices are much less expensive than in many of the places I've
visited.  Enjoy....it's awesome!
