I am going to be in Angkor Wat the weekend of March 21-23. Airfare, hotel etc. are all set.
Question now is whether I should book a tour for the 2 1/2 days I am there. If so, with who?
Or, is it possible to do Angkor Wat by oneself? Recommendations for particular ruins not to be missed?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!</font>
It really depends on how comfortable you are travelling alone. If you have a Lonely Planet, that pretty much tells you all the sights you need to know. Renting a "tu-tu" costs about US$20-25 a day.
There's this place where you need to climb to catch the sunset. I can't remember the place, but it was awesome.
Remember to bring passport photos (visa) and small US$ notes.
