Aux1010 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 As almost everywhere in South-East Asia March is start of the hot season. Best time is December - February: cool weather. Sareth is official guide, with license from govt, he pass exams in history and language, and do tests every year at time of renew of license, he has guiding experience over 5 years. You can discuss your travels plans with him and your travel will be 100% tailored up to your wishes. It is personal private service: no templates, no standard program, no groups. On the picture: Sareth in official uniform of guides in Angkor wat sareth9-circle.jpg If I wanted to visit Angkor Wat in the evening as opposed to the morning, can anyone recommend what sort of time would be preferable to start / finish the tour (I'd prefer to avoid being out in the sun too much if possible, plus I'm not a morning person!)? I'll be visiting for about five days in November (and yes, I'll be seeing if Sareth is available for a couple of those days). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moses Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Angkor Wat is closing with sunset. Tour only to Angkor Wat (without any other temples takes 4 hours), sunset is around 6pm, + way to AW + time to buy tickets, you should start at 1pm, but you will use most hot time.

Guest whall Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 What airline or airlines do you recommend to go from SR and PP and BKK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsf Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 What airlines fly from SR and PP and BKK? You need to do a little research on your own. Does it really matter for flights that are 30 - 60 minutes? Just look for cheapest fare. ggobkk and ChristianPFC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traveller123 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I have always found Bangkok Airways to be the best but they are expensive. In June we flew Air Asia for the short flight BKK to Luang Prabang and they were fine with both flights on time and at a great price. June 2015 we also flew Air Asia BKK to Bali, the flights were very early in the morning (just after 6am) which isn't the best time for me but again both out and return flights were on time and at a great price, particularly if you book during Air Asia's regular promotions. Guess it is all down to how you want to spend your money. My partner and I are happy with each others company (ok I like a massage when we are on holiday), I don't need the most expensive flight but I do like eating in good restaurants and will happily pay for good food (a real treat when you live out in the sticks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest roguebear Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 What airline or airlines do you recommend to go from SR and PP and BKK? Bangkok Air to and from Cambodia last December. The first time unhappy with Bangkok Air due to very long delays and poor customer service. Recommend Cambodia Angkor Air from SR to PP which was on time and hassle free.

Brummbaer Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 BKK/DMK to REP or PNH are at least 4 airlines to choose from, AirAsia, Thai, Bangkok Air, Cambodia Angkor Air. REP to PNH vice versa is only Cambodia Angkor Air and Cambodia Bayon Airlines going non-stop, All other connections you would need to transfer outside of Cambodia and get a new Visa when re-entering.

ChristianPFC Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 forget about train in Cambodia although train station in Phnom Penh is quite impressive building This year passenger train service between PP and Sihanoukville was introduced (only Fri-Sat-Sun) after many years without passenger trains in Cambodia. There is railway connection from PP to Poipet and over to Aranyaprathet, but only freight or not trains at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there isn't connection yet.
