I know one day is hard or probably impossible. But if can, I wanna cover important sport first. The rest I can pay another visit another day. Any important spot throughout the temple I should visit?

probably get a 3 days pass then. where to find these driver? outside the temple? is the place cycle-able?
Havent been there yet, hardly figure/imagine the entire stretch of the city ...  rclxub.gif

Noted on Phnom Kulen.

Not impossible, if you don't mind spending less time in each temple and willing to pay a lot more, then it's possible to do in one day. But very hectic la. laugh.gif

Most interesting temples in Angkor Archaeology Park in the following order (my personal view)
1) Angkor Wat
2) Preah Khan
3) Ta Prohm
4) Bayon
5) Bantey Kdei & Srah Srang (Srah Srang is currently under renovation, just fyi)
6) Everything else

About the driver, ask your hotel to arrange for you. The price is more or less the same. If you're fit, it's definitely cyclable, and is an experience all in its own. But you cover less temples this way.

Stayed at Number 9 hotel in Phnom Penh, and Boutique Cambo in Siem Reap. Those are budget hotels, all less than RM50 per night but very good service thumbup.gif

Battambang is also a very nice place to visit, stayed at Senghout hotel.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I stayed in Borei in Siem Reap. Looks fancy from the outside & the reception area even if the rooms are slightly old fashioned.

The service was.. awesome. Also, I booked it using a code taken from Tripadvisor so it was cheaper. Do check Tripadvisor for promotional codes too!

Look up Golden Banana Boutique Hotel in Siem Reap. They have cozy 2storey villas.
