What should you pay attention to when going to Angkor Wat?

There are definitely some things to pay attention to when going to Angkor Wat. Today I will talk to you about some things you should pay attention to when you go. You should also understand these when you go. Now the editor will tell you in detail. What to bring

Must-haves: sunscreen, wide-angle lens

Must-go: In fact, when you go to Cambodia, you only see temples, but some are very large and shocking, and some are just It is relatively small, but each temple has its own story and history. Generally, the tour is a three-day tour of the small circle, large circle, and outer circle. You can stay longer at the large, beautiful or exquisite ones. Generally, the driver will remind you that How long should I stay? I just came back from

Angkor Wat

yesterday. Now I will recommend my 3-day route. I personally think it is reasonable. You might as well refer to it or delete it according to your own needs. The ones with a yellow background are ones that I think are worth staying longer or focusing on visiting after going there. (Kbal in D3

Spean Gobushama feels very average, and it takes half an hour to go up the mountain. If you are in a hurry, it is recommended not to go)

As for the food: I personally think it is well-known The relatively high-end GENEVIEVE'S and THEREDDPIANO products are both OK. The former's BEEF

LOKLAK is delicious; the latter's spaghetti is good, but the PIZZA is average, and TOMBPAIDERCOCKTAIL is a must-try. In the evening, you can go to PUB

STREE to have some drinks. Generally, cocktails cost 2.5-4 knives a cup, and beer is 0.5-2 knives. Compared with China, they are simply cheap!!!

Suggestion: Be sure to bring enough water when you are out, because the weather is very hot; you should also bring water when you go to restaurants. Restaurants generally do not provide water for free (I have also opened my eyes, mineral water is usually 0.5-1 knives), unless you order beer. , usually I order a glass of beer for $0.50, which is more cost-effective than drinking water, haha.

Advice:

1. Don’t tip when you go through customs. If the customs asks you, just pretend you don’t understand or say you don’t have any change (the girl in front of me is smarter, she follows The customs said I don’t have any money on me, can I just swipe my credit card? That’s awesome... Like, like, like) Anyway, I didn’t pay them back and forth, so I can’t condone them.

2. In a scenic spot, if some staff, locals or children take you around enthusiastically, tell you where to take beautiful photos, and even take the initiative to take photos for you!!! It is recommended that you refuse. Because they all ask for tips, especially Chinese people, they will usually ask you where you are from. My mother has tried it twice. Although she can send them away with only 1 dollar, money is a small matter and she always feels cheated. . Notes

Clothing

First of all, let’s talk about the issue mentioned in most posts that sleeveless tops and shorts are not allowed in Mount Bakken, Little Angkor and Bafang Temple. I went to all three places, but no one was turned away due to clothing issues. However, it is better to bring long pants to be on the safe side. I went there around May Day, which is considered the hottest time in the area. However, for sun protection, I still insist on wearing a long-sleeved thin coat and long skirt (or long pants bought locally) as much as possible every day, and wear a hat. Flip-flops can definitely hold up the various steps and uneven roads in the scenic spot, but it is better to wear safer shoes.

Other items

Flashlight: We didn’t use it, maybe because the sunrise in May is relatively early, and it was already dark when we got there.

Gloves: Some previous posts said that it’s easy to scratch your hands when climbing stairs. I think it’s okay. I didn’t encounter any protrusions, but the metal railings were slightly hot.

Sunscreen: You must bring this! You can bring a bottle of after-sun repair and facial mask. Applying more and applying a facial mask at night will relieve the problem. If the hotel where you stay has a refrigerator, it will be better to chill it.

Mosquito repellent: We brought it but it was of little use. There are no mosquitoes where we live. There are only gecko and frog scenic spots and it’s okay to play during the day.

Conversion plug: Our hotel has a universal socket, so it is not used. You can inquire about it when booking the hotel.

Tour guide: I didn’t find a tour guide at the time. I brought a book for reference. You can go online in advance to read Jiang Xun's "The Beauty of Angkor". There is also an electronic version of the Traveling Around the World series that you can download, which has a comprehensive introduction to architecture, while the LP series has more comprehensive and fashionable information about restaurants and practical information. However, if you must find a tour guide, you can ask the hotel, including the driver, and the hotel can help contact you. Generally, drivers will have their own fixed routes. The routes in the small circle, large circle, and outer circle are enough to cover all the must-visit attractions. Unless there are very niche attractions that you want to visit, you don’t have to worry about attractions. Others

1. 5 days and 4 nights, arrive on the first day, buy Angkor tickets and go to Bakken Mountain to watch the sunset

2. Play small circles on the second day, and go big on the third day Circle, outer circle on the fourth day

3. Food includes Amok, HotPot, SpringRoll, and Angkor beer

Beer), Baguette Sanwiches, Sauce Fried Beef (BeefLokLak), Sour Fish (Samlor Machu Trey)

4. Main matters: Safety, many buildings in Angkor are very high, and The stairs are steep, narrow and slippery (there is a lot of sand), so pay attention to safety and don't be pushy. A pair of well-fitting, non-slip shoes is necessary.

Anti-mosquito bites: There are many local mosquitoes and other tropical insects. You can buy anti-mosquito lotions in BOOTS pharmacies. Although the price is a bit expensive, it is really useful. I heard that some tourists contracted malaria after being bitten by mosquitoes. We bought it (photo attached) for 325 baht at the BOOTS duty-free shop on the 4th floor of Bangkok Airport when we were in transit in Bangkok.

Heatstroke prevention: Angkor is very hot at noon. It is best to rest in a cool temple or go back to the hotel. If you want to gain time, you can visit some scenic spots in the jungle, such as TaProhm, PreahKhan, and TaSom. etc. Of course, bring enough water and food.
