📍 Samdach Sothearos Blvd (3), Phnom Penh, Cambodia 💰 Entrance fee: $10 Built in 1866, the palace is a building that showcases traditional Cambodian architecture. There are many areas inside where photography is not allowed. (Note: When visiting the palace, entry is restricted for those wearing tops that expose the shoulders and bottoms that show the knees.)

The place called The Playroom, where there are all sorts of activities you can do here. Such as indoor archery, board games, beer pong, snooker, and many more. For us, we just choose to do some archery and Jenga. Really low key for a first visit. Nevertheless, it was a fun learning experience to shoot arrows and how it was so different from the movie. The place really took safety concerns seriously, especially in archery they give us a sign form and go over the basic rule to not injure ourself and others. They also have instructors giving us tips on how to do archery properly, like how to shoot and forms. The place has chill vibes to it, I really love their interior design. They used all sorts of pop and anime references to make their place unique and fun to walk around. Their collection of boardgames are quite a lot, but to us who are too lazy to learn new rules, we just choose Jenga, which is easy to set up and play. There are a few more fun games that we wanted to tried but we didn't have enough time and people, so next time. I would recommend that you go with as many people as possible to possibly enjoy all the fun things that The Playroom has to offer. Apparently, they change their range of activities from time to time, so it would be better to check from their Facebook page or Google map before making a reservation. #localguides #phnompenhcity #localgems #cambodia 📍Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/uF7BJeapNndQphcH6 💰Average Price per Person: 10-15$

Two days in Phnom Penh is all you need to fall head over heels with the city’s charm (and maybe a Tuk Tuk driver). Toss in an extra day to wander the city’s side streets, where every turn feels like a blind date with adventure. With Google and AI as your trusty wingmen, a guide isn't essential—unless you're keen on getting the inside scoop on daily life and the hidden gems only locals know. Supporting a local guide also adds a touch of romance to the travel narrative (because who doesn’t love a little cultural matchmaking?). 🚇 Transportation Grab is your soulmate for getting around. It’s super easy, and using it for Tuk Tuks saves you from the “price mysteriously doubling at the last second” drama. Swipe right on Grab Tuk Tuks every time. 📷 Photo Spots Stroll by the river at sunrise for a morning serenade of golden hues. The Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda ($10) are perfect for those dreamy couple (or solo) shots. Just dress appropriately—royalty isn’t into crop tops. The Killing Fields are a sobering but meaningful experience. Get the audio guide—it’s like having a wise, historical whisper in your ear. 🍜 Local Cuisine Foodies, rejoice! The local flavors will steal your heart. Play it safe with your stomach, though—street food is a gamble. Must-Try Dishes: Amok (Coconut fish curry that’s smoother than a love song). Lap Khmer (Beef salad that’s spicy in all the right ways). Bai Sach Chrouk (Pork and rice for a warm, comforting hug). Nhoam Svay Kchai (Green mango salad with a zingy personality). 🏠 Accommodation Stay in the city center for a whirlwind romance with Phnom Penh’s lively vibe. Yes, it’s noisy, but love is about embracing the chaos, right? I stayed at Chaiya Palace, and it was perfect. Central, walkable, and that rooftop pool? Ideal for sunset cocktails—bring your camera. 💡 Extra Tips Solo travelers, this city is your perfect match—safe, friendly, and full of warm smiles. Morning runs along the river are dreamy, especially with the sunrise crowd. Tuk Tuk drivers are persistent suitors, but a polite “no thank you” (or my favorite, “I like walking, thanks”) keeps things friendly. Phnom Penh will charm you, feed you, and leave you with memories sweeter than a mango salad. Swipe right on this city—it’s a keeper. #phnompenh #cambodia #romanceandtravel

I spent a half-day to explore Angkor Park, Siem Rap Cambodia, where I was immersed by the wonderful ancient wanders. Here are the temples worthy of visit according to my experiences and what you need to remember when pay a visit: 1. Please bear in mind, Angkor is a big park with many temples. You can choose what temples you want to visit. For me, these three temples are worthy: Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple, and Ta Prohm Temple are the must to visit. Angkor Wat is famous for being part of the world’s wonder. At Bayon Temple, you can find unique statue with four faces, while Ta Prohm Temple having old and giant trees on its walls. You can explore the site where Angelina Jolie was filmed for Tomb Raider in this temple, too. 2. Always remember to respect all temples as a sacred place. Wearing clothes that cover your all bodies and keep your voice down are good things to perform. 3. The entrance ticket is not available at the temple’s gates. You need to purchase it in advance in the city, and you can choose to have a one-day pass, two-days pass, etc. I chose one-day pass and it costs USD.39. 4. If you come alone or with a friend, renting tuk-tuk, a local vehicle is good choice. You can enjoy a nice views and the breeze along the way to the temples. The tuk-tuk costs USD 20 for a day. #travel #naturalwonders #holiday #cambodia #cambodiatravel

Angkor Wat, the most famous tourist attraction in Cambodia, was originally a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu, but it has since become a Buddhist temple. Therefore, there is a Buddha Day every week. On Buddha Day, the third level, the Divine Realm, is not accessible, so please keep this in mind when planning your visit. Before the 11th century, Angkor Wat was composed of five levels: 1st level: World of Serpents 2nd level: World of Birds 3rd level: World of Humans 4th level: World of Demons 5th level: World of Gods However, after the 11th century, it was changed to a three-level structure: 1st level: World of Creatures 2nd level: World of Humans 3rd level: Divine Realm

Visiting the Angkor ruins was amazing! The temples are huge, especially Angkor Wat—it’s mind-blowing how old everything is. Walking around, you can see how nature and history come together, with trees growing through the ruins and all. It feels like stepping into another world. A tip: it’s really spread out, so try to plan your day. Many options of transportation are available. I just rented a bicycle and rode everywhere myself - that gave me absolute freedom and I could stay at every chosen stop as long as I wanted. One more tip: start early to beat the heat! Honestly, it’s one of those places that leaves you feeling humbled. Definitely worth the visit! #internationaltravel #cambodia #angkorwat

In the entire ancient city of Angkor Bayon temple became my favorite. The big stone faces all around you are just amazing. The carvings on the walls are super detailed too, so there's a lot to take in. This temple is still easy to reach by bicycle but it is much less crowded than Angkor Wat, and it has more of a jungle vibe, I sorta felt like in Lara Croft or Indiana Jones movie. One thing I’d recommend is wearing comfy shoes because there's a lot of stairs to climb. It can also get really hot, so bring water and try to go early. #internationaltravel #cambodia #angkorwat

#temples #cambodia #siemreap #freeattraction #savemoney #historicallandmarks #angkorwattemple 💰On any given day, the average price per person is $35 to enter the main temple. This grants you access for the whole day, basically. And I'm sure it's totally worth it. The acres and hectars that directly surround Angkor Wat temple were and still are part of it, and you find probably 10+ (I stand to be corrected) smaller temples with the same characteristics and historic cultural accents. You will still have a great experience, and you'll still leave with breathing photos for less than $10 for 3-4 people that will be in a tuk tuk. I would advise you to use one of the tuk tuk drivers from the Angkor Wat area as they would be familiar with where to find these smaller surrounding temples and structures. These were my favorite pics of that day 💞Reasons to Recommend: 1. Cost effective 2. Cultural experience 3. Satisfaction levels acheaved (according to friends of that did both Angkor Wat and surrounding structures 🏖️BAmbiance/Facilities: 1. There are mobile shops in random places in almost every street you turn into, so snacks and cold drinks like filtered water and sodas / juices should be available.

Visiting Angkor Wat left me in absolute awe. Standing before the grand temples, I felt a profound sense of wonder and respect for the ingenuity of the Khmer Empire. Witnessing the sunrise over Angkor Wat was a surreal, almost spiritual experience, as the first golden rays illuminated the intricate carvings. Exploring the temple ruins, entwined with centuries-old trees, brought a feeling of deep connection to the past. The culture and cuisine of Siem Reap added even more magic to the journey. Savoring dishes like amok and wandering through bustling night markets made me feel immersed in the heartbeat of Cambodia. The warmth of the people, the richness of their traditions, and the incredible sights made my time there unforgettable, leaving me inspired and deeply moved. #travel #cambodia #angkorwat

Phnom Penh | Stayed in a cheap but super comfortable treasure hotel Sarina Boutique Hotel. Sangkat Phnom Penh Tmei, Khan Sen Sok, 327 St 1013, Phnom Penh 12101, Cambodia An affordable hotel booked at will $35/night including breakfast Arrive by tutu bus in the middle of the night There are still friendly staff at the front desk of the hotel at 12 o'clock. They quickly check in and guide them to the room. The room is quiet, minimalist and clean. I like wooden doors and furniture made of deep walnut wood very much. The details and the overall atmosphere exude a unique texture. I slept very soundly. When I got up, I saw the sun shining on the balcony. The quiet swimming pool was shining in the sunlight. To my surprise, the weather was also very comfortable when I had breakfast. The plants in the courtyard are leafy and swaying in the wind. It makes people feel very peaceful. Although it is not a luxurious hotel, it is quite comfortable and has many kinds of breakfast. For three consecutive days, I made a cup of black tea latte (hot black tea + pure milk) every day.The Omelet made by the waiter with a warm smile is so delicious that I can't help sharing this hotel that I wanted to collect selfishly. I want to stay there next time I go back to Phnom Penth. Tips: Don't turn on the exhaust fan switch next to the light switch. The sudden sharp sound will really scare you. #Travel #Hotel #Phnom Penh #Cambodia #Phnom Penh, Cambodia #My Days in Cambodia #Cambodia Store Visit #Cambodia Travel #Discover Treasure Hotel #Hotel Recommendation #Phnom Penh Hotel

Angkor Wat is pure magic, especially at sunrise. Just a short ride from Siem Reap, I arrived in the early morning to catch the first light hitting the temple’s iconic towers—and it was absolutely worth it. Watching the sun slowly rise behind the ancient stone, reflected in the still water below, was breathtaking. As I wandered through the sprawling temple complex, every corner revealed something new: intricate carvings, towering pillars, and hidden courtyards.

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh is a solemn site and a haunting memorial to the atrocities committed during the Khmer Rouge regime. You can learn about Cambodia's painful history. This is definitely not your typical tourist attraction and is recommended for those who want to learn about history. Getting There - I went there with a local tour guide and driver, who was professional and share personal anecdotes. Highlights - First highlight was getting a chance to meet former prisoners who were captive in the prison during Khmer Rouge regime. This reminds us of the painful history of the past. Having a local tour guide to explain and walk through the history with us was super helpful and he also had family members who were arrested during those times. You will walk through this former school building to and see blood stains, leg cuffs and cells that people used to stay in. There are also photographs from the past in this museum. #localtourguides #cambodia #phnompenh #100waysoftravel #history

#ancienttown #100waysoftravel #历史古迹 #taphrom #siemreap #cambodia #旅行灵感 This Ta Phrom temple is also known as Tomb Rider Temple as this is where the movie Tomb Rider filmed. If you are to visit to the Angkot Wat, this is usually a combo at the same day as it is just near to each other and takes approximately 15 min by driving!! Personally I feel this is a must visit place as there are huge trees strangling across the ancient Angkor buildings making it an impressive place to take photos with. Yet, the entrance fee is FREE so why not to pay a visit 😆😆

##100waysoftravel Angkor Wat’s temples are truly beautiful and captivating, aren’t they? The way the light hits the stone during sunrise and sunset creates such a magical atmosphere. Ta Prohm, the famous temple in Angkorian National Park, known for its overgrown trees. During sunrise, Ta Prohm takes on an ethereal beauty. The soft morning light filters through the dense jungle, casting a golden glow over the massive roots of the Spung trees as they wrap around the temple’s stone walls. The interplay of light and shadows creates a mystical atmosphere, making it feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The quiet of the early morning, with fewer tourists around, allows you to fully appreciate the sound of the jungle waking up. Birds begin to sing, and the rustling of leaves adds to the sense of being enveloped by nature. Walking through Ta Prohm at this time is almost a meditative experience, as the combination of ancient architecture and the encroaching jungle inspires awe and reflection. It’s easy to understand why this temple, often called the “Tomb Raider temple,” has captured the imagination of many. #travel #traveltheworld #travelphotography #traveltheworld #cambodia #taprohm #temple #siemreap #traveling #blogger #meditation #mindfuljourney #mindfulness #mindfulliving #greenseason

I spent 2 days exploring Angkor Wat ～ the biggest site of temples in the world, located near Siem Reap, Cambodia 🇰🇭 📍 Here are some of my favourite locations: 1. Angkor Wat - the main temple that everyone visits. Many people visit at sunrise for a beautiful view. Once inside, you can climb to the top and explore. 2. Ta Prohm - made famous by the Lara Croft Tomb Raider movie, the trees have taken back their place in nature with roots growing into the buildings. This one has loads of cool photo opportunities. 3. Preah Khan - a real hidden gem, there was absolutely no one else there when I visited. It’s a lot older and less restored, but that’s what gives it charm. This was probably my favourite, I was totally amazed here. 4. Royal Palace - once again I was all alone! The long path to the palace is perfect for a beautiful photo. 5. Angkor Thom - another well known temple, located in the Bayon. This was a big temple to explore (and get lost in), but I was actually more excited seeing the gate on the drive out! INFO: 💰1 day ticket is $37, 3 days is $62 or 7 days is $72. 🎟️ Buy tickets online and print it in advance so you don’t have to go to the ticket office on site and queue. 🛺 I recommend spending at least 2 days exploring Angkor Wat. Hire a tuk tuk driver for around $20 per day ～ you can choose where you want to go, or take one of their routes. 🌅 In my opinion, you don’t need to visit Angkor Wat for sunrise. Get some extra sleep and check it out at sunset instead! #angkorwat #siemreap #cambodia #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

I was pleasantly surprised by Phnom Penh and it was such a different vibe to Bangkok, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh- the biggest surprise by far was the hotels rooftop pool. The Aquarius is a stunning hotel in itself with really comfortable rooms and a great location, but it’s when you get to the roof that the hotel really shines. The roof has the hotels restaurant and an incredible L shaped infinity pool that gives you stunning views of the surrounding city. The pool opens 6AM -10PM and it’s perfect for a morning dip! There’s plenty of seating, sun beds and umbrellas - it really does have a beach feel. Only the sounds of the city around you remind you of where you are! I found the hotel really reasonable and that was even before I saw the pool! It’s a good location too close to the independence monument, royal palace and museum of Cambodia. It’s worth checking out if you’re staying in Phnom Pehn! #summerresorts #mytravelhacks #100waysoftravel #cambodia #phnompenh #pool #hotel
