Viet Nam, Cambodia travel recommendations

New this year went to the meeting of Viet Nam, Cambodia, a total of 16, 7 days.

Because the Internet both Raiders, so even just be lazy, do not write more Raiders, but before I go to a lot of people think it's important to have a strategy, the need to do some updates to some of the people after going to recommend it.

1. weather and equipment

Hot, really hot.

In addition to those probably China Guangxi and other local people to eat less, so the clothes absolutely to short sleeves. Bring a pair of sandals is necessary, or even fear hot like me who are more than ten days wore sandals. Vietnam/Cambodia can buy commemorative T-SHIRT is 100% cotton (may take time to stroll around the bar). Sunscreen and summer herbs are dotted, I sunshine without sunscreen is up to the back of molting. Electric mosquito coils are necessary, because it is a lot of mosquitoes. Tent, sleeping bag class is free.

2. the visa

Viet Nam visa must be done at home, in Kunming, Nanning, Phnom Penh can express, but many of the variables.

Cambodia visa in Vietnam-Cambodia border to do nothing is checked, the General ground. The best in the country Laotian visa, I just sit from Siem Reap to four thousand beautiful island car (12 hours, Siem Reap has car company goes the line, ask a few comparisons of prices), in the bird Manger border was stopped a car for my and my wife is Chinese, and it stopped me, even my wife is the first overseas are nothing, they said my name in there is a problem with their computer, only to the Consulate in Phnom Penh. In advance we this car everyone gave 2 knife tip, I finally and drivers that do not give money, up to now did not understand why. So after some people take this line, the best in the country do visas, otherwise there is a problem many pay a lot, but don't have a car back that day, only expensive to hire local people returned to Stung Treng night, then time too late, can only have direct flights from Phnom Penh to Shanghai.

3. eat

1. over there eat most Western food and dishes, if class Thailand can accept three meals a day, that's all OK.

As I and my wife is not too fussy, but even eating bear after 10 days, in Siem Reap's Beijing dumplings, Yes, you can eat moving China's taste. There is a failure to adapt to the Western-style breakfast, the best band from the domestic to the corn porridge, brewing there buy instant noodle really and domestic 25 years ago a taste.

2. the General conditions than to Viet Nam, Cambodia, Viet Nam has many good baguette is you can clip a lot of things, recommended clips are fried beef.

Kung Quan An restaurant is very good, good, the price is affordable, very worth recommending that evening to go may be a lot of people have to wait, I take your order when it is best not to look at the menu, you can take the piece of paper to the cooking of the scene look to his or her fancy dishes on paper back directly to the waiter, that way you can guarantee that your order is fully consistent with the imagination, the restaurant address in front of independent Palace is 50 metres on the right of a pony along the way, the Internet has many recommended, you can find, but also in the Sai may also is very famous, drivers generally know. Hoi an is a China town, speciality is the "White rose" and a mixing surface, very Chinese dessert taste, is well worth trying.

3. Viet Nam's seafood is good, especially the barbecue.

The NHA's crossing under the bridge will have a big yangguangmeijing extents, small-scale Shanghai tongchuan road, Viet Nam's seafood practices primarily barbecue and hot pot, we point out a live lobster 500 Yuan less than 1 kg (there is also a small lobster alive as long as half price, Viet Nam's lobster is turquoise, small lobster but deep red), hot pot of spices is too heavy, lobster flavor covered up, shrimp can do bullions shrimp, overall taste very good and the price is also Nye cheaper. The NAI has gone to a lot of people recommended BOKE BBQ Beach, as recommended, a business, half 欣荣 Chinese go, boss BOKE had already old youzi, no previous shyness, prices rose by many (and perhaps we go to the beginning of the second time, he said that very few people out to sea), things are doing well, lobster is a brush with butter roasted, very fragrant, my suggestion is anyway the taste is very heavy, there is no need for a live lobster, buy chilled, half the price is cheaper now.

4. Cambodia many ethnic Chinese, Chinese, Phnom Penh is recommended is passing, Siem Reap places to eat are concentrated in the bar street, looking for a free look at the Angel dance, to go early lesions, traditional food is AMOK, I think it is a Curry, try once and you can, eat more I feel tired.

The old market, bar street is tours focus, spending more expensive, if you have the energy to take the time to go around the unknown small market around, there will be a surprise (Beijing dumplings there is one beside the point).

5. Angkor resort hotels are small expensive, here you have two choices, if you are not afraid of heat and preferred tour, in the scenic spot for lunch, then go to the most popular places, such as BA Rong Tabb cage Temple, monastery can be relative to avoid abortion, but most people go out do not want to endure hardship, then selected the second road, prior and TUTU drivers about the good, the small circle in the large circle back to Siem Reap at noon, so you can have dinner and rest.

Say the truth since the days of hot and aesthetic issues of fatigue, I recommend most of the candidates for the second, although I was selected first.

IV. live

I and my wife for accommodation requirements are not high, so long as the toilet clean can, therefore, a basic up ten dollars along the way, in order to sleep sleep really unhappy carrying large packages one upstairs room.

Basically Hanoi accommodation set point in Kiem old market, Saigon, in Van 5 Argyle Street elsewhere in Sinh cafe (Sinh tourist) Office in Phnom Penh in the surrounding, Capitol station, Siem Reap is a city backpackers accommodation, concentrated in the old market, bar street. Have to say us Nye is holiday eatingSeafood BBQ, stay resort sea view room, trance swimming at the beautiful world of handsome guy, so I think sometimes FB tourism is quite attractive. Whether it is Viet Nam or Cambodia personally feel that do not require advance online live, because I go to when the most high season are many rooms available, I do not believe that the accommodation has more tense. If the accommodation requires relatively high living standard recommendations of the star of the hotel, and not the same, even if only a two star standard, nor a certain ratio of private little GESTHOUST many good, 4-star completely and internally the same level of comparison to do, of course, price is 1 to 2 100 dollars a night. Beautiful Nai best hotels are concentrated in the Southwest, northeast to only a four star but Sinh cafe Office depend on the northeast side so everyone to discretion. Siem Reap's MatherHome famous loud, we never intended, but most of the season, so he didn't live to live, be sure to book in advance, the boss wing people good, but can introduce Chinese tour guide, TUTU drivers give you, the only deficiency is a bit far away from the bar street, to sit TUTU to get to.

5.

In Viet Nam Sinh cafe fame the loudest, there are other Brother and other companies have done the same business, I feel it should be no problem, in fact, the core product is the OPEN BUS plus short-distance travel.

With these two products coupled with some English communication, the entire trip for sure no problem. Hanoi old market nearby there are many marked out Sinh cafe, but really only one, we can look at the Raiders to, but is entrusted to top legislator highlights IPR protection and even lived for nothing of votes the general question, which is a small handling fee is added. Viet Nam is requested under each store signage on the telephone, EMAIL, etc., so you can find the real Office. No matter which car is very good, clean and tidy, sleeper, the better, more than a few words here and hope that our fellow countrymen abroad can control themselves, after all, you not only for your personal, health habits, speaking habits or don't bother to others, I have to endure the sleeper, America has domestic South Province three women in a sleeper, drummed seeds on the chat to the night doesn't sleep, was a load of people not sleep very well, they don't even know it, feeling that people outside the province, like locusts, never seen what fun things all day and laughed, and like to eat wild animals, no tutelage to the pole, a shame not to be enough, and threw it into the country went outside, weight!

Walk from Viet Nam to Cambodia, the waterway to Phnom Penh, Saigon travel travel car, walked for two days, night hostel Zhu Tuk, but now two days of mission were not seen water market, a three-day mission seems to, in, La Mission to ask to Sinh cafe.

If you ride, a day in the evening you can go to Phnom Penh, personal feeling is that the Mekong River, a little kid in the late afternoon in the water bath to play, see the boat past will be very excited to say hello, this is the only simple feel. Customs also quite smoothly, and the boat people will ask you whether you need the extra Viet Nam shield into Cambodia riels, but the exchange rate is that of sorts. Cambodia is sitting in the Capitol's car, they seem and Sinh cafe is a cooperative relationship, Sinh cafe will stop the car directly to their station, where the Assembly stations, travel agency, restaurant, hotel as a whole, as the only stop a night place is still very convenient, perhaps dinner around a lot, and IP long distance super cheap.

We to Siem Reap is 6, still at the beginning of the season, but fortunately the holiday has just passed, the accommodation is very intense, long-term Charter for three days we spent 100 dollars, because the road to find a mother together, so it is worthwhile, feel four people a TUTU car can sit down.

Personally feel that our General TUTU drivers, so it is not recommended. We look at online others recommendations, I believe there are still good. About TUTU car key is the number of times to see the sunrise sunset, noon is back to Siem Reap. Third sky ring is sitting saloon, collapse of dense column or far, I feel it difficult to get there TUTU, female the Royal Palace is very small, and core area is not let into the carving is saved is fine, the overall feeling good, imagined tandsbyn high step, but also the general collapse of dense column is very good, because it is controlled by non-governmental (like anything special military Government) to another ticket, $ 1 spent on someone take you between the ruins to wear in and out, they are not aware of these road, worth, sunset feel better, suitable for taking pictures.

6. play

1. travel anterior me to wife say is enjoy the journey of Viet Nam, Cambodia is a Visual journey, Laos is the journey of the soul, but didn't go into Laos, the first two I would say Yes.

Viet Nam main good places are coastal Halong Hanoi similar to Guilin, similar to Tianjin, Hoi an similar Lijiang NHA similar Xiamen, beautiful Nai similar Sanya, similar to previous Shanghai Sai Kung, overall leisure travel is, no big strength. Cambodia is completely different, because the Angkor is a tower of the building, so you basically are 30 degrees weather kept climbing climbing, strength can be imagined, wife to second afternoon basic just enjoy the temple door, but there is a paradise of photography, especially when sunrise sunset.

2. under the Bay because of China's domestic missions provide visa, tour groups to more and earlier, the rising consumer prices for you, there's more discussion, live sea ship normally does a shake, so it can sleep well at night.

Hue is Viet Nam last feudal Nguyen Thi dynasty of ancient capital, went to know the so-called fake China's forbidden city formed capital wasn't so back to the thing, probably only the Chinese used to bigger saddle xianya mammoth, and half are deserted in the reconstruction. NHA is primarily a four Island Tour and a mud-bath, on the other gonglue will be mentioned, benevolent see benevolence, and I think a good four Island Tour is a little sun. We are interested in have time or in the evening along the coastal road to embark on a walk, it feels necessarily and in Zhuhai lovers road walking is very much like. Beautiful NaiIs spent in trance enjoy, tired and thirsty on the side of the cup of the sugar cane juice or just SHAKE it, life is this, when the project is to package an American Jeep to several of the dunes, at the Red River will have a lot of Viet Nam to local children with you, said "all risk" requirements with you in the stream, you do not agree with the words will not kind of disturbance, to protect your camera and the like, and large white sand dune or worth a go. At Kung I only stayed one night, personal feeling Shanghai people will like Saigon and Sai girl is also the most beautiful.

3. comparison of Phnom Penh, go to attention security, beggars are also very much, this basic in Viet Nam.

As a tourist city, Siem Reap brings together a variety of fun projects, or even go out at night, TUTU drivers see the single young men will come boldly good-looking "Cambodia Girls?" On the road, but we still care for, and Cambodia girl really nothing beautiful, dark and ugly ... In Angkor, possibly because each country information channels, so it will be interesting to discover popular places a time assembled a country specific number, such as China have said night gonglue four points to buy second day 3 votes and then immediately rub on the day of a two-hour sunset mountain nesbakken, the result is a very bad day evening sunset zinken becomes Chinese all over the world, so do not want to see the fun of completely biased thinking, maybe it is not normal harvest. Royal Bath Sunrise I didn't go, since the first day went to see, feel that there is no need in that shoot the Sunrise, the feeling at home will find in many places. Sunset over grain Temple, but also allows you to compare the number of people, it is better to BA Rong Temple, is a totally different feel.

4. our participation in the Mekong tour it is necessary to mention, in the visit of Chinese is not up to much, I was not going to spend time with Wu Gothic to Word of mouth and bad floating village, so the report this item.

It is morning tour three hours car ride to a port on the vessel, and show you around several shore workshop, directly to an island for lunch, dinner with the characteristics of the "water from the Mekong songs" show, in fact, is a kind of folk songs, two in the afternoon and then by boat to a port and then sit three hours into the night, Middle Juba Tuk to take similar putuoshan cart crossing, evening them free accommodation is also good, go shopping in the local market, buy a trip to the cheapest fruits. The second day we divide by two people a hand from the locals rowing tour of the House on the water, the following is the fish, there is a handicraft production points, the whole process for an hour, and then someone tame your to boating tips, it is recommended that you do not give too much, because the time is not very long, but this should be included in the cruise fee, of course, do not give nor likely that, after all, there are many other next to the country took the money, not to think too. Visit began after three hours boat ride to the border formalities, dinner, etc., about an hour to get, in Cambodia a ship then sit for three hours, like someone else said in Raiders a wild shore, feeling human smuggling, then there will be a van to Phnom Penh Capitol, drive one hour. To tell the truth, the whole process feel normal, that is the famous sound of the Mekong River, so we have so many people go to see it, the whole very commercial, as in domestic tourism, the scenery is also generally, almost no decent photos.

5. the final say in Angkor, actually on Angkor really don't want to say something, for fame, flooded with a variety of Internet strategies, but there is a word that's good "everyone has a heart of Angkor", OK, any language may be very difficult to describe when you buy tickets for the first time after a short distance to see Angkor's moving when it is in everyone's minds on the most pure original feeling, is bound to live it to touch the heart to feel, and even let my fear, because he "will one day return to forest".

We go before you can take the time to look at small point on the background of the Angkor Empire, learn about the characteristics of the building, while the comprehensive understanding of the need, in my view, is nothing but an overview or better, this look will not be confused. From my understanding and practical look at only the exclamation, the dynasty in the 11th century, the declining capital to a total of 500 years of history, they almost never dry, built a House, not like other dynasty, and the surrounding countries stem on several spectacular battle. Spend millions of craftsmen, which took decades to build one of the temples, and dozens of such a massive stone structures of temples, palaces and other buildings together, they can only be used to describe a mind-blowing. Personally feel that Angkor most worth watching is Angkor, BA Rong Temple, TABB cage Temple, Temple, women more than grains, disintegrating Royal Palace, dense column are not elsewhere, but saved also incomplete. In Angkor tour, you will be met at various spots in each country travelers, this among the big tours in Japan and Korea, as I carefully observed, together with Chinese tour guide is worst for Angkor's history and culture of the language of the unknown, "the following square-hole represents the female genitals, above the stone represents the male genitals, so the water poured up outflow is holy water" and "woman in stone we can go to the felt in the chest, legends will bring luck" ... I really don't know what they are in China to accept tour guide training, in line with the Chinese taste! so I think that if you do not see the legendary good Chinese tour guide, without duplicating, before you go online Dora point data can see clear. I want to travel fun not to inadvertently discovered?!

7. the exchange rate and the consumer

My wife and I are not very comfortable and the pursuit of luxury, especially me, so our cost control is good.

First, the Renminbi exchange rate under on Viet Nam shield 1: 2500-2800, most cost-effective in border exchange, more to the South Vietnamese low, nor is it capable of direct spending dollars on Viet Nam shield 1: 17500-19500 pays more to South Vietnam, many of which can be directly used USD settlement, if you put a shield with Viet Nam, he gave exchange rates are often very high,Jetstar, Viet Nam shield and dollars are left, according to him the currency are often the most cost-effective. In Cambodia USD on real 1: 4000-4250, redeem points are not common, because almost all of the US dollar price only standard, real basic used for small or change, so try to find a place to swap point 1: 4200 small ticket, take more dollars most convenient cost-effective. From the Guangxi land is the most convenient and economical, Yunnan, but no big specification, and fewer cars, if a direct flight to Saigon because fewer flights, most expensive, but also the most economical time, approximately 2500 RMB multipoint one-way or Hong Kong, Macao, or elsewhere, it's cheaper than direct flights. In Viet Nam, Cambodia if accommodation do not care to Guesthouse, the basic one night of 10-20 knife, dinner 3-5 knife one meal, fish meal, a 15-35 knife, because transportation is rising is the high season of compares more, Viet Nam's Openbus broken off to 70 multi-tool, and Internet access are relatively large, here to note that, as far as possible the itinerary booked because Openbus is can be changed times and routes, but need to charge like, so I'm doing better at a time. The two-day mission under the Bay 25-70 a person, because the so-called luxury mission, in fact, I think the difference is not large, 3 missions 30-100 knives. NHA four Island Tour 8-10 dollars a bag lunch, afternoon fruit, water bars, snorkeling equipment, etc., very cheap, it is best to direct change swimming clothes. Mekong-day mission 40 knife, package Zhu Tuk one night accommodation and 1st day lunch the next day's breakfast, in low season will be some other offers. Phnom Penh to Siem Reap 6 dollars, Siem Reap to more than 30 million US dollars to the island. Fly to Shanghai 2500 RMB in Phnom Penh, Phnom Penh ask several agent point preferable. Siem Reap long-term Charter 90-100 dollars in three days, two days TUTU, day cars, disintegrating mealea very far, want to start the trip, but also don't be too late, he and high step tandsbyn female Palace are two directions, dusk to more feeling. Finally, plus the initial visa fees, late-small purchase something, someone probably 10000 Yuan.

Hope the above written by those who go on after a little help.
