Enjoy Angkor, it is magical.
In regard to travel from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, our reserved hotel in Siem Reap has advised us against taking the boat:
"please note that we do not recommend the boat as the company overbooks their boat, lack of security and very poor service according to the price (35 US$ per person)"
and advise either flying (Bangkok Airways) or taking a bus (they recommend Mekong Express).
Is their advise incorrect? I know that this is probably not the best forum for this query....but after all, OW doesn't get us all the way to Angkor.... Thanks!
