Hi all,

Looking at a trip to Cambodia later this year and would very much like to go to Angkor Wat but do not want to get temple fatigue (I can only be told so much about bas reliefs before I tire) so with this in mind I was thinking a day maximum or maybe morning and then evening to get photos in different light.

In short, would I need a guide for this? Or would I be better going myself with a car arranged by the hotel?

I'm not an organised tour person but have used a guide in Cairo before, mainly to translate and ensure that I wasn't harassed to buy things and I didn't mind use of the guide then as he was inexpensive (to me) but he did try to take me to his Uncles 'perfume shop' which is off-putting.

Would a Cambodian guide be able to do a taster or the temple? I see people going for 2-3 days to Angkor and I think that would be too much for me.
