点评:I contacted Ra of Van Express & Tours from India before reaching Phnom Penh. Myself and my co-brother planned for a 9 day trip to Cambodia – 4 days in Phnom Penh and balance in Siem reap/Angkorwat area. We decided to explore Phnom Penh by ourselves and Siem Reap with the guidance of Ra.
This is a little long review. If you want quick summary only please read the last paragraph.
We requested for a customized tour for 5 days – (Jan 6th 2025 to Jan 10th 2025) - Primarily to cover Angkorwat and other places around Siem reap and any other place from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. Ra gave us suggested to have one night break in Kampong Thom on the way to Siem Reap from Phnom Penh to see historical places around this area. We booked hotel accordingly.
Day 1 - Vanreth (Ra’s younger brother) picked us from our hotel by 8 AM in Phnom Penh in a very comfortable 7 seater van. Very jovial, taking us to restaurants where food to our liking is available & was very helpful in choosing the food we wanted (avoiding Non Veg food)… Stopped at Skuon (Spiderville) just to see spider delicacies and then checked in at Glorious hotel in Kampong Thom. After lunch he took us to Sambor Prei Kuk about 30 Km from Kompong Thom.
Day 2 - we covered 5 different temples ( of course ruined and belonging to 7th to 9th century) in Ronak Ser district before reaching hotel in Siem reap and handed us to Ra for next 3 days guidance.
Day 3 - picked us by 5 AM itself for seeing Angkor wat during sunrise and till 2.30 PM we continuously saw heritage structures. After 3 hours of Ra guiding us at Angkorwat he took us for breakfast in Angkor Thom area. In Angkor Thom area he showed us - Bayon temple, Suor Proat temple, Ta Prohm/Tree temple and few more.
Day 4 – Picked us by 9 AM. Excellent Siva temple – Bantey Srei on the way to Kulen Mountain. In Kulen mountain he showed us Reclining Buddha, 1000 lingas on the riverbed, 60 meters waterfall in which took bath/enjoyed, excellent lunch at Rom Chong Angkor restaurant on the way… Another memorable day.
Day 5 – Picked us by 6 AM itself – we checked out from hotel. Took us to Bakong temple & Preah Ko temple – peaceful visit early in the morning itself before heading to floating village. From there he drove us to Phnom Penh airport – stopping at Prey Pros Rest Area restaurant in Kompong Svay for excellent lunch with very good ambience.
Ra was knowing a lot on world happening and is a great conversation person. We could engage in interesting discussion on the long drive to Phnom Penh. Also his van was so comfortable – with massaging seats for the passengers & also we enjoyed the journey our Tamil favourite songs as the van had facility to play our pen drive.
Ra did an excellent job of showing/guiding us all places in a bigger comfortable van. As he himself is a qualified certified guide, he could explain to us about all historical places in detail.
In all tourist spots, Ra as well Reth took lot of excellent photos in mobile and shared them to us which is an added bonus.
翻译:在到达金边之前,我联系了印度 Van Express & Tours 的 Ra。我和我的兄弟计划去柬埔寨旅行 9 天——在金边待 4 天,其余时间在暹粒/吴哥窟地区。我们决定自己探索金边,并在 Ra 的指导下探索暹粒。
这是一篇很长的评论。如果您只想要快速摘要,请阅读最后一段。
我们要求进行为期 5 天的定制旅游——(2025 年 1 月 6 日至 2025 年 1 月 10 日)——主要覆盖吴哥窟和暹粒周围的其他地方以及从金边到暹粒的任何其他地方。Ra 建议我们在从金边前往暹粒的途中在 Kampong Thom 休息一晚,参观该地区周围的历史遗迹。我们据此预订了酒店。
第 1 天 - Vanreth(Ra 的弟弟)早上 8 点在金边的酒店接我们,他开着一辆非常舒适的 7 座面包车。他非常热情,带我们去餐厅,那里有我们喜欢的食物,他非常乐于助人,帮助我们选择想要的食物(避免非素食)……在 Skuon(蜘蛛城)停下来,只是为了看看蜘蛛美食,然后入住了 Kampong Thom 的 Glorious 酒店。午餐后,他带我们去了距离 Kompong Thom 约 30 公里的 Sambor Prei Kuk。
第 2 天 - 我们参观了 Ronak Ser 区的 5 座不同的寺庙(当然已经毁坏,属于 7 至 9 世纪),然后到达暹粒的酒店,并把我们交给 Ra 指导接下来的 3 天。
第 3 天 - 早上 5 点就来接我们,带我们去看日出时的吴哥窟,直到下午 2:30,我们一直在看历史建筑。在吴哥窟,Ra 为我们做了 3 个小时的向导,然后带我们去吴哥城地区吃早餐。在吴哥城地区,他带我们参观了巴戎寺、Suor Proat 寺、塔布茏寺/树寺等。
第 4 天 - 上午 9 点来接我们。在去往 Kulen 山的路上,我们参观了非常棒的湿婆寺 - 班蒂斯雷寺。在 Kulen 山,他带我们参观了卧佛、河床上的 1000 尊林伽、60 米高的瀑布(可以沐浴/享受),途中在 Rom Chong Angkor 餐厅享用了美味的午餐……又是难忘的一天。
第 5 天 - 早上 6 点来接我们 - 我们从酒店退房。带我们去了巴孔寺和 Preah Ko 寺 - 一大早,我们安静地游览了一番,然后前往水上村庄。从那里,他开车送我们去金边机场 - 在 Kompong Svay 的 Prey Pros Rest Area 餐厅停留,享用了氛围非常好的美味午餐。
Ra 知道很多关于世界正在发生的事情,并且很健谈。在前往金边的长途车程中,我们可以进行有趣的讨论。他的面包车也非常舒适——为乘客提供按摩座椅,而且我们也很享受旅途,因为面包车可以播放我们最喜欢的泰米尔歌曲。
Ra 在更大更舒适的面包车中向我们展示/引导了所有地方,做得非常出色。由于他本人是一名合格的认证导游,他可以向我们详细解释所有历史遗迹。
在所有旅游景点,Ra 和 Reth 都用手机拍了很多精彩的照片并与我们分享,这是一个额外的好处。
