We haven't been on a prop plane in ages so we were surprized to see we would be taking one for the 1 hour flight. Flight wasn't too bumpy and we were served a snack. On arrival we were assigned a taxi to our hotel who sold us on the way there a visit to the excellent museum, an afternoon trip out to Phnom Bakheng at 4:45 to climb the hill to the temple and see the sunset and dinner with an apsara dance show at the Apsara theater ($12 each plus beverage each). While the sunset was not spectacular because of the clouds we could see Angkor Thom and Angkor Wat which we would tour tomorrow.
Wanee, our driver, had us reserve a space at the Apsara theater so we had a excellent front row table.
I am also on a "Lara Croft Tomb Raider" tour so I had Wanee go off to the market to get the DVD so that we could refresh our memories of the scenes that took place here at Angkor Wat. We also found the show very good. We need to research the difference between Thai and Khymer dancing!
Wanee, the enterprising young driver, found us a guide for the next 2 days ($25 per day for guide and $30 to $50 per day for car/driver depending on where you are going).
Our hotel, Prince D'Angkor, was a great deal through Agoda web deals. Our deluxe room with buffet breakfast and free internet is $65 per night. Nice big pool and in town within walking distance to Pub street and the Old Market.
