Hi, Just a few questions before our arrival in Siem Reap in a couple of days:

1. Visa - we arrive around 8AM - have you seen how busy REP is around 8AM? (we arrive Fri Jan 25) Is it payable at the airport on c/card or only USD$?

- * different threads here show 'get an eVisa' or 'get it at the airport' advice; if it's likely to be busy we'll get it online.

2. ATMs at Siem Reap (REP) - available? Only give local currency? Perhaps offer USD$? (v. unlikely!)

3. For a 3-day stay, how is this as an itinerary? (Per a friend's recommendation)

Day 1: Arrive 8AM; Visit Silk Farm and/or Wood & stone works (via tuk tuk)
Day 2: Angkor Wat, w. Guide, starting with sunrise.
Day 3: Kulen Mountain day trip w. driver: Huge carved Buddha, waterfall, River of 1000 Linga

(Any recent recommendations of a guide is arrpeciated. I've printed out some recent discussions about guides and thanks for the messages from several FTers who've been in touch. ^)
