Trip Tips:
When hiring a moto or tuk-tuk, always establish the price first before starting off for your destination. You will be quoted a high price at first, so be prepared to haggle to get what you consider to be a fair price.

Best Travel Time:
There are two seasons in Cambodia, wet and dry. From early May to the end of October is the rainy season. It often rains heavily but for short periods of time, mostly later in the day or during the night, after which the sun returns. The rain cools the air and freshens up the lush green of the rice plantations. It is cooler in the dry season, which runs from early November to early February, when it starts heating up again, building to the hottest month of April. So the best time for rain lovers is between May and October and from November to early March for those who like it dry and cool.

Recommended:
For those interested in Cambodian arts and crafts, we highly recommend a visit to the NGO Artisans d’Angkor in Siem Reap. They operate a skill-training centre for women and men from rural areas and teach them skills such as silk dying and weaving, lacquering, stone carving and woodcarving. Tours of the workshops are provided in various languages, and you can see the artisans at work. They also have an excellent gift shop where you can purchase the crafts you saw being made. The entrance to Artisans d’Angkor shop is located on Stung Thmey St, off of Sivatha Blvd. The skill centre is on National Road 6 and from the shop, they can arrange a free return tuk tuk ride from Siem Reap town, and admission is also free of charge. 

 

Quad Bike Tour
A 4 hour tour that takes you to Wat Athvea pagoda and the Chres Village Orphanage or take a tour to one of the less visited temples such as Prasat Pre Monti. Enjoy the countryside and villages where life, almost untouched by a fast changing Asia, goes on much as it has for centuries.

Horse Back Riding
Head to the Happy Ranch outside of Siem Reap, the only western style horse ranch in Cambodia. There you will get acquainted with your horse of pure Cambodian breed, a descendant of the Mongolian wild horses. Enjoy the countryside on horseback! During the 2-hour trail ride you will get to places far outside the tourist area, through the rice fields and local villages to the rarely visited temple of Wat Atvea. Explore the peaceful temple ruins of the Angkorian era, a truly authentic experience. Return to the Happy Ranch on horseback through small, quiet paths.

Balloon Ride
Take a short ascent in a tethered baloon and see the Angkor Temples from above about 15mn. A unique experience!

Massage Treatment
