    Handspan tours

    Posted by michlarry 17 November 2006

    This tour company is pricey, but the experience is well worth it. Heard some horror stories of trips to Halong Bay but ours was perfect (except for the highly marked up drinks on board!)

    We definitely do not recommend this hotel. Despite its pretty rooms and good location, the manager decided three days into our stay our room rate was higher than what we were quoted when we arrived. When we disputed this he made up the difference by adding taxes and beefing up the phone and laundry charges. The guys who work there appeared drunk.

    You'll also get asked a hundred times about your plans and they'll try to sell their tours - though this is much the same across the entire city.

    Land Mine Museum

    Posted by michlarry 17 November 2006

    A truly moving place set up by an inspiring Cambodian man named Aki Ra who has taken it upon himself to manually clear mines and unexploded ordinance. The museum also houses child landmine victims who you can talk to and read their stories. It's not a slick set up, but much more real than any others. It's off the beaten track a little in Siem Reap - away from the perfect roads that lead to Angkor and into the real world of Cambodians.
