Artisans d'Angkor



A place where tourist will be brought to. A famous craft producer of stone and wood carving, silk weaving and souvenirs.

Khmer Food



Local delicacies

are still acceptable, at least it suits my taste buds and appetite. The "cat fish" and the Mango salad are the most common food in Cambodia. Most of the food are strong in "mint" leafy taste. Conclusion of the taste? I'd say is a fusion of Thai and Vietnam food. Chinese food were also easily found over here.

Siem
Reap International Airport-

It was 14th Jan.Never expect the temperature here drops as low as 15 degree Celsius. Chilled breeze make us shivered upon arrival on Siem Reap.Without any hesitation, we 'shoot' towards the arrival hall to get rid of the cold weather. -- Moral of the story- study and ask the local weather before getting there!
