Our Comments on:

1) Boat Trip between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh

The speed boat services (NOTE: not the slow boats between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh are privately-run companies with daily services departing 0700H and a ride of roughly 5 hours. Capacity 80-100 persons depending on company. The different companies have a rotation system where only 1 boat/company operates every day on that route. Service and boats are not of Western standard in comfort.

There has been a widely reported (but unique) hijacking case 2 years ago where people were robbed of their possessions but since then no incidents as there are plainclothes security men on board and the government has put a close eye on this route and service.

The boat option is basically for people who want to experience Cambodia a bit more closely than through airports, hotels and arrival/departure lounges. If you are interested to see a bit more how "normal" people in Cambodia travel, it is great fun. Western tourists usually travel on the roof of the boat to observe the countryside. Not so indicated for "suitcase travelers".

In case you do not like to travel by boat trip, optional is to travel by air from Siemreap to Phnompenh or vice versa at an additional cost of US$ 45 per person. There are number of flights every day by Royal Air Cambodge and Siem Reap Airways.

2) Early morning, watch sunrise at Angkor Wat

To watch the sunrise at Angkor Wat, it requires you to wake up early in the morning at 04:30-05:00 a.m., so it is optional that you can omit this out if you do not like to wake up that early during your holiday. After the sunrise, we will take you back to the hotel for breakfast and continue the tour after.
