After I touched down at Siem Reap airport, I was picked up by a tuk tuk driver sent free by the hotel. What I didn’t realise is that this is an opportunity for the driver to get business as a driver for the rest of the trip. However, I had already secured a driver by e-mail for my travels.
I met this driver at the hotel. But he’d brought his “cousin”. (He would later refer to this cousin as his nephew in an e-mail.) And it was this cousin, not the him, whom I’d been communicating with all this while would bring me around. I did not like this, but I thought I’d go with the flow.
So I go by tuk tuk to get my 3 day pass at Angkor Wat and also, to enter Angkor Wat at 5pm. If you have tickets for the next day, you can get into the park after 5pm without it counting as a day. It was my plan to see Angkor Wat at the end of the day, and then at sunrise another day. So this post will encompass both days of Angkor Wat.
Everyone who goes to Siem Reap comes to visit Angkor Wat, once the capital of the Khmer.
