If you reach Siem Reap in the afternoon, do not hurry to buy ticket to Angkor for the same day. Wait... have patience!
Wait until 4pm, then charter a tuk-tuk to go to the entrance to buy the next day's ticket. With this "future" ticket, you are entitled to a free sunset trip...
the tuk-tuk will normally charge you about USD5... bargain hard if you want a lower price, or just pay the said price if you are as lazy as me.
2 popular places to watch sunset: Angkor Wat at the lotus pond, or on top of Bahkeng hill.
unfortunately, the time we were there, the sky was too cloudy, so no clear sunset...
coincidently we met a group of officers/armies/policemen/navy?! they actually paid to take photo with/on the horse... how vain but interesting! :)
i don't know what he's selling, but the liquid in these containers really smell funny... maybe kerosene, but not really the smell... i've seen it few times even in Siem Reap streets...
Information:
Entrance fee to Angkor area USD20 for 1 day, USD40 for 3 days and USD60 for 1 week.
do not need to bring photo, they now use webcam/digital cam to snap your photo and print onto the ticket straight. you will receive your ticket in less than 5 minutes time. just remember to give your most sunshiny smile to the webcam ALL THE TIME, coz they will snap snap when you least prepare... lol
