3 December 2022, Saturday Despite the “fiasco” of our La Residence Blanc D’Angkor hotel last night, the bed in the room was comfy and I slept pretty well. We checked out early at 7:05am to go to our new hotel for the next two nights, Angkor Paradise Hotel. It was only seven minutes away by […]

2 August 2018, Thursday For my second day in Siem Reap, I would be joining a bicycle tour of the countryside. At 7:15am, I went for breakfast at my hostel. Breakfast wasn’t included in my room rate so I paid US$6.75 (S$9.65) for my classic breakfast set and a flat white. It wasn’t as cheap […]
