Tork Tork Penh Bampong (Siem Reap - Cambodia)

Step by step, a Khmer saying that teaches you to start small to reach big and that is something I definitely live by.

I arrived after just a 2 hours flight in Siem Reap Cambodia Airport. As an EU citizen I was eligible for the visa on arrival and the process was quick and easy. In case you do forget to take passport pictures with you, they scan your passport for an extra cost. 10 minutes and 20$ later I had my passport back and headed to the exit.

Outside you have the choice to take a Moto (2$) a Remork Moto (Tuktuk 5$) or a car (7$). I took the second option and was on my way to my accommodation, a little Guesthouse near Bo Wat Village, a 10 minute walk to the Siem Reap Night market (main hub for activities and food). The Home Sweet Home Guesthouse was very welcoming and let me check in already, even though my room wasn’t made up at that point. Since I got up so early in the morning I was tired, but still motivated to explore the area.
