Ah I see. I heard you can't choose your bus company if you book through the hotel.  hmm.gif
I'm trying to avoid Sorya cause got many bad reviews  laugh.gif

actually you can. mine has a list of bus company with its listed availability (pickup time). I went for the most expensive one. but then looking at the condition, i dunno which part is worth the price I pay.

Those that charge cheaper; I cannot imagine how the bus condition is gonna be rclxub.gif

Heard Cambodia bus service is very bad, I thought Thai buses were terrible, I can't imagine how bad Cambodia buses must be..

Gonna book Capitol bus, they seem a bit better laugh.gif

Second day here, still survive. rclxm9.gif

Yesterday arrived around 8am local time, siem reap welcome me with a very nice weather. But after a while, it getting very very hot. After my brunch around 11am, it suddenly rain! But....only for 1mins blink.gif

So got a bike and proceed to the temples. After angkor wat i proceed to bayon, it suddenly pour....raining cats n dogs.... shocking.gif luckily there's hut right beside, so i just turn in and wait there.
After 5 mins, rain stop.... So continue go in bayon, and it start to rain again..... rclxub.gif
So i just walk walk look look inside while waiting for the rain to stop again.... sweat.gif
After 10 min rain stop, and i continua the rest of my visit until 4pm+.... No more rain after that. rclxms.gif

Second day, this morning.... Rush to the temple at 4:30am, sunrise and do the grand circle.... Damn kau hot i tell u, i feel my arms got sun burn by... 10am.... rclxub.gif
I finish my big circle by 1pm.....and thought i can visit some temples in small circle.... But really cannot.... Too hot, exhausted.... Arms burning...Watson's sunscreen fail... vmad.gif
On my way back, i see the road is wet....i think it rain along the way to angkor wat.

Tomorrow? Hopefully sunny weather lo...and also nice sunrise, pls.... whistling.gif

One thing to take note, it's very dusty here......even after rain.... Bring ur mask with u laugh.gif

Rain is very common there. Yes, it won't rain long but it will flooded if heavy rain at the border uphill. The water flowing down from the Thai border. This is according to the local people who I spoken to and also my driver.

Another possibility of the flooding is because it was just beside Tonle Sap Lake.
