Siem Reap was the other major country in our two-week Indochina trip which we really looked forward to in visiting. Not having been to famous Angkor Wat before, I was often advised by friends who have been there that I should wear comfortable clothing as […]

One look at Pavillon d’Orient photos online convinced me that we will have a pleasant and relaxing stay in Siem Reap. And as an agreement to what I have thought, this was what greeted us upon our arrival. Enchanted. Yes, that was the first word which came […]
