Re: Tourist worries
They are scammers. They will start a conversation with you, and then one thing will lead to another, and before you know it you are at their house playing a card game which always ends with you losing money.Rowena wrote: ↑Sat Oct 13, 2018 1:10 pmWhy run sir?

Avoid fellow counyrmen who invite you to their home for a friendly game of cards.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

PP to Siem Reap. Take an IBIS bus - can get the overnight bus (you can actually sleep) for $15/person. Leaves at 11:00 and 11:30 I believe from their terminal. Just as an fyi - when arriving - your basically centrally located and a tuk tuk to anywhere in the tourist area shouldn't be more than $3. If your staying somewhere remote then $5.
Personally I don't think much to really see in PP for more than two days.
Siem Reap. Depends what you want to spend. Be aware that Angkor Wat tickets are now $37/day per person.(you can get tickets for multiple days but I can't remember off the top of my head what the new prices are.)
Couple of night markets in the central tourist area near pub street. Some decent restaurants in the area also - trip advisor will give you a rundown. At night your going to be with a bunch of backpackers - if thats your thing - great - if not you'll be a bit disappointed. Siem Reap is not really a nightlife town.
Do you want a car/van (a/c) or tuk-tuk to take you around? Car/Van $40-50 for a day and Tuk-Tuk 20 to take you around to temples. Not a whole heck of a lot to see outside Angkor Wat - the temples are a great way to spend a few days. Avoid young guys if going the tuk tuk route - most of them are from the province and have little/no knowledge of the area. I'd recommend staying at a hotel with a decent pool as after hitting the temples you'll really like taking a swim when returning late afternoon/early evening.
Enjoy the trip!
