Explore the Big Circuit: This area boasts a structure akin to Ta Prohm called Preah Khan temple, with ancient stone walls intertwined with tree roots. Additionally, the Big Circuit offers an ideal spot for sunset viewing at Pre Rup temple.
Moreover, Nguyên Khang visited Tonle Sap: the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, connected to the Mekong River via the Tonle Sap River in Phnom Penh. During the rainy season, the strong flow of the Mekong River reverses the Tonle Sap River, significantly increasing the water level in the lake.
You can take a ferry on this lake along two routes: Phnom Penh – Siem Reap or Siem Reap – Battambang. Additionally, in cities like Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang, and some lakeside towns, tourists can rent boats to explore floating villages, a delightful experience for Cambodia tourism. The Cambodian Sea is also the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and was recognized by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve in 1997.
Tonlé Sap means “great freshwater river” but is commonly translated as “Great Lake” in other languages. The term “Sea of Tonle Sap” refers to the vastness of this body of water, which seems to have no shores. However, during the rainy season, the lake is fuller, making boat travel easier. In the dry season, water levels drop, and boats are more prone to getting stuck.
On this trip, Nguyên Khang opted for budget travel as living costs, dining, and accommodations in Cambodia are relatively cheap. You can choose to travel by bus from Saigon or by plane. Three days and two nights is sufficient time for you to embark on this journey to the archaeological complex.
Specific Expenses:
In Siem Reap, find accommodation for just $15 per night, inclusive of Wi-Fi and breakfast. A clean stay awaits at Nguyên Khang, totaling $30 for 2 nights.
Enjoy street food delicacies at budget-friendly prices, averaging $5 per meal. Indulge in 4 meals for approximately $20.
