最后正式决定去柬埔寨暹粒看末日，我在2012年12月19日到达吴哥，遗憾的是最后都没有发生。从会安去岘港机场的车票6美金就可以买到，车程只需45分钟。Jetstar每天都有飞机从岘港直通胡志明市，大概50多美金。由于时间配合不到，被迫逗留一日。老实说当时已经十分厌倦越南的寺庙、法式建筑及鱼露的味道，所以对游览胡志明市的欲望不高。胡志明市的机场是有公共巴士去市区的巴士总站的，所以相当方便。我根据GPS冲往The Sinh Tourist公司附近的背包客宿舍投宿，（网路上推荐值得信赖的巴士公司）第二日早晨6.30从胡志明市前往暹粒了。
Finally I decided to go Angkor Wat to watch the Doomsday, i was arrived on 19th December 2012, unfortunately, it did not happen. The bus from Hoi An to Da Nang Airport only cost me 6 USD and it's only took 45 minutes. Jetstar providing daily flight to Ho Chih Minh City and cost around 50 USD. I did not stay long in HCMC because i guess most of the temples, buildings and food are similar as what i had seen in this whole month. The are some local bus servicing from the HCMC Airpot to the city, so it's quite convenient and sent me to the Guest house i found where just few steps to The Sinh Tourist bus company (recommended by tourist website and quite reliable) and I left HCMC the next morning 6.30 a.m to Cambodia.
The Sinh Tourist长途巴士全程收费17.50美金，巴士5小时左右到达越南与柬埔寨边界，巴士负责人收集所有乘客的护照，然后我们下车排队通往入境处。马来西亚公民不需要入境签证，所以很快就可以通过然后等待其他国家乘客。巴士过后在金边的The Sinh Tourist停下，休息一小时候再由另一辆巴士继续开往暹粒，到达时间已是晚上8时左右。柬埔寨的兑换率目前是xxxx，美金在当地是通用的。当地Tuk Tuk一般路程收价3美元起，也有些直接砍菜头要5美元，杀价功夫就靠你自己了。
The bus fare for The Sinh Tourist to Cambodia was cost 17.50 USD, the bus was arrived at the border around 5 hours later, the bus driver was collected all of our passport and we all got off from the bus and queue up to stamp at immigration department. Malaysian do not need to get entry visa to Cambodia, so it's took pretty fast to get through and waited for others. The bus stop later at The Sinh Tourist's branch at Phnom Penh,we took a rest there for 1 hour and continue the journey to Siem Reap by another bus and arrived at Siem Reap around 8 p.m. Cambodia's exchange rate is ...., and American Dollar can be use in the country. Tuk Tuk's price cost from 3 USD, some of them will started from 5 USD, so all is about your bargain power to avoid to get chop.
第一晚我并没有租到旅店，因为过后决定了不逗留胡志明市，所以随便依据Google Map找了家老街场附近的旅店暂住，第二日才搬入已订吴哥附近的旅店。老街场除了有很多卖手工艺品的摊位，还有一条闻名的啤酒街。这次东南亚之旅啤酒最便宜的就是这里了，欢乐时光才0.50美金。这里有些蛮有特色的酒吧，可惜自己一个人，没勇气独自豪饮，吃了晚餐就回旅店睡觉了。
I did not book any room at the first night because was thought to stay HCMC for extra night, so just simply found one cheap hotel where near the old market street before move to the booked hotel for the next day. Other than lot of the craft and painting stalls around the old market, you can happily find a BEER STREET there. The draught beer here was the cheapest along my ASEAN trip, it's only cost 0.50 USD. There were some interesting pub or bar but unfortunately i was going alone so i did not dare to drink there myself, end up I went back to the hotel after the dinner.
Amok
晚餐点了网上推荐的amok﹣﹣柬埔寨高棉式咖喱。味道有点像泰国的青咖喱，没泰国辣，可以选择鱼肉，鸡肉或牛肉等。这家餐厅的特色是将所有材料都塞入椰子里，这对一个吃了一个月越南鱼露及猪肉的大马人来说，绝对是人间美味，即使去的不一定是著名的餐馆。柬埔寨吃东西绝对不便宜，这一餐加饮料就吃掉了我6块美金。
I'd tried the Amok-- Khmer's curry, which recommended by the tourism's website.It's tasted a little bit like Thai's green curry but not as spicy as that and can choose either fish, chicken or meat. The speciality of this restaurant was they served the Amok in the coconut, and it's heavenly delicious to a Malaysian who had eaten the fish sauce and tonne of pork for the whole month, even though this might not the most popular restaurant in the town. The food in Cambodia are not cheap at all, this dinner had cost me around 6 USD.
一般酒店有与旅行社合作提供游吴哥配套，单人价格由12美元起，都是那种4、5个庙宇加日落一日游等等的。我是属于穷游的，还好旅店有提供日租2美金的老铁马，收费是捐给慈善团体的。结果，全程只有我一个黄皮肤，及部分老外；由嘟嘟及旅行巴士大团体都是韩国人及中国人多。当然，骑这种没有调节器的脚踏车是十分吃力的，第一天已经拿走了我半条人命。

第二日提着两个行李打算一路沿着GPS走至少30分钟去另一家旅店，半路摩托德士诚意拳拳开价一美金，反正天气也太热，自己也不确定路程就上车啦。问题就来了，语言不通加上他不识路，结果问了两次路，还是找不到旅店，最后还是根据自己的GPS再走10分钟才到。真搞不懂为什么这样还能兜生意，所以奉劝各位先搞清楚司机到底懂不懂路才上车。
The next day i was planned to walk to the next hotel which was shown 30 minutes away from GPS, end up stop by a motorbike taxi who opened price for 1 USD, i was agreed because of the hot weather and not sure about the direction. End up he did not know the direction also not much of English, after twice of asking around with nothing, i decided to walk myself to the hotel by my GPS and luckily it's just took around 10 minutes. So guys, please make sure those driver really know their way then only get on the car.
Firefly Guest House，由一对德国情侣接手重开。房间属于不错，尚算干净，没热水炉的房间比较便宜。柜台服务员非常友善，老板也十分健谈。后来在这里解决晚餐才得知原来他们最讨厌著名啊疙瘩网站，他们报大酒店价钱再以大数字的折扣来吸引顾客，所以很多客人都投诉货不对版。而且他们以酒店肯不肯每年付钱来决定上载好的顾客评价。
Firefly Guest House, a small hotel which was running by a German's couple. The room was nice and clean, and cheaper if without hot shower. The workers there were friendly too. I was told by the boss that they actually hate the axxda website because they normally display the very high price and put the discount rate later which is just similar as normal price of the room. That was causing a lot of complaint about the room does not worth the price it costed. Also, they will upload the good review only if the hotel willing to pay some amount of fees.

Most of the hotels are partner with the travel agency and provide the local tour package, started form 12 USD for 1 pax for those 1 day sunset trip or 4-5 temples visiting. I'm belong to poor tourist category so I selected the 2 USD rental bicycle which the money will donate to the local charity. I'm the only yellow skin who was riding bicycle that day, and some westerner as usual. There were many of Korean and Chinese group and transfer by tour bus or big group of tuk-tuk. It was quite hard to ride the old style of bicycle which do not have gear adjustment, I was fully exhausted after 8 hours ride.
进入吴哥范围是需要付费的，而且收费相当惊人，为一日20美金，2至3日40美金，7日则60美金；付钱后有关人员会即时替你照大头照，几分钟后就可以拿到了。门票每日需要携带，某些地方需要展示票根，遗失了是需要重新购买的。看着他们国家人民的穷困及发展，十分纳闷那么大量游客的收入到底去了哪里？
There are charges to enter the Angkor Historical Area and it's quite costly, 1 Day is 20 USD, 2-3 days are 40 USD and 60 USD for 7 days. They will take your photo after you paid at the ticket counter at Visitor Center, and the ticket will be printed after few minute. You have to carry the ticket every day because they will ask you to show the ticket at some point, you have to buy the ticket again if you lost it. I'm wonder where the money are going since there're tonne of tourist every day, and the local's development are so poor.
吴哥窟 Angkor Wat
终于到了这个人山人海的世界名迹。除了感叹公元802年人类的毅力，当时超卓的雕刻艺术造旨也是值得一一欣赏的。各位必须注意的是，若要进入中心的主庙是不可暴露肩膀及膝盖以上的。所以怕热的女士们必须携带丝巾或外套前往，不然就如围坐在旁的罗拉们（很对人都做电影Tomb Rider中Lara Croft般的打扮。）懊悔着等着她们的爱人或朋友了。
Finally touched down to this world's well known historical temple. It's really amazing how the people able to build it on 802 year, and the sculptures were really beautiful. Lady please to remind to bring jacket or scarf because short and singlet are not allow to enter the temple in the center. Else, you will have to sit down and wait at the side for your lover or friends like those Tomb Rider, yea, many of them dressed up like Lara Croft.
巴绒寺 Bayon
真正的四面楚歌，除了被大大小小的四面佛像围绕，还有大大小小的旅游团队，想像一下一堆韩国人在那里叽里咕噜地，真的很难等待空间让自己拍照。不过巴绒寺可是绝对不能错过的寺庙之一，那种世界对你微笑的意境只有这里才感受得到。
Another nice temple where you will be surround by four faces Buddha's statues, a place where you can feel the whole world are smiling to you. Others than that there were plenty of tourist and it's quite annoying.
这里布满各大小庙宇，没有必要一一介绍了，大致上的特色都是大同小异。在这里遇上一班马来西亚人，单身旅行是比较容易结交朋友的，因为他们的通知，我四点多匆忙解决了午餐就赶去巴肯山看日落。虽然吃饭的地方有点沙尘滚滚的感觉，食肆就是用简单茅草搭成的档口，会有点担心卫生问题，但是想到需要遥远地骑铁马出去的话，我也不管与鸡群同桌了。标价可不便宜哦，一碟饭或面需要3美金，椰水⒈5美金，还好杀价后面与椰水以3美金成交。意外地他们的面味道不错哦，虽然看起来应该是快熟面。
There are plenty of temples around the Historical Park, and it's quite similar, therefor i will not introduce one by one. It's easier to make friend when travelling alone, i was lucky to met a group of Malaysian and went to see the sunset based on their info. There were some eating stall near the souvenir's area, it's look dusty and might worry about the cleanliness but i was too lazy even just think about the way to ride to the town for my lunch.The price of the food was not cheap, a plate of fried rice or noodle cost 3 USD, coconut was 1.5 USD, but you can try to bargain with them, i got my fried rice and coconut with just 3 USD in total. Surprisingly the taste of the food was not bad, try it if you think your stomach can take it.
