My tip is to not purchase online but to spend ones arrival day enjoying a tuktuk ride around and asking the driver to add Angkor ticket office to an afternoon stop off. No line ups and an afternoon purchases also allows free entry for that afternoon to the archaeological site, if one wishes too. 😊

[@TravellingWithCon]

Thanks for that bit of information, that’s actually a very cool trick! I hope some viewers take note ahahha! 🇰🇭

[@garyclarke9685]

Thanks for the advice

[@karaalan2678]

Well presented video Thank you for sharing your tips Much appreciated

[@TravellingWithCon]

@@karaalan2678 thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed! Are you from Cambodia?

[@babibabo8965]

Now there are vendor machines to purchase ticket by yourself without long queues. Those vendor machines are in the heritage walk mall.

[@Mikeycambovideos]

That rule about US currency needing to be in pristine condition has been removed. Any folded bills or slightly damaged torn or stained notes are accepted everywhere. I’ve tested it, and haven’t been refused yet anywhere. It’s because now the banks don’t charge a fee for accepting damaged bills from business deposits.

[@TravellingWithCon]

@@Mikeycambovideos thanks the info! I think another comment mentioned this as well ahah, it’s good to know that this rule has been removed! Are you from Cambodia?

[@patriot03062]

Not absolutely true. I was there months ago and the law was changed but many stores and vendors would not accept US Currency. When I left Cambodia at the PP airport the Duty Free Shop refused to accept my $100 Bill. There was nothing wrong with. I told the girl behind the counter all the currency is acceptable now per Cambodian law. She still refused so I took out another $100 Bill which was crisp. Again. She refused it

[@Mikeycambovideos]

@ every other place outside the airport stopped inspecting U.S. bills for folds or creases, even the small restaurants and minimarts, the reason is because the banks don’t charge for damaged bills anymore. I have not had one issue in the last 6,000 transactions, and now all my bills have a fold or crease. Prior to this they would refuse the tinniest wrinkle or coffee stain. It’s easy now

[@marcrooseler]

I bought my ticket locally, there is an all inclusive ticket center my regular tuktuk driver took me to. Got me into all the temples, they simply stamp for the days used. I'm so backwards, I can eat all the street food I want... then ate at a "proper" restaurant... and got sick. I only used their money to avoid uncrispness. Find a financial institution with low ATM fees. I personally loved the place and will be returning in a few months. Thanks for the cancel/delay link! Definitely a win.

[@ezekielgometer463]

Hello. Where did you book your regular tuktuk driver? Thank you.

[@marcrooseler]

@@ezekielgometer463 the Airbnb I rented from sent him. He lived around the corner, I may have him as a facebook friend. I'll link you later today if you'd like.

[@marcrooseler]

@@ezekielgometer463 you can also just hire any of them off the street.

[@garyclarke9685]

Great I will do that then I was worried there for a minute when he said the ticket has to be booked online. He should have given the option to go to a ticket office. I'm taking travelplan pills to prevent sickness from eating

[@marcrooseler]

@@ezekielgometer463 I stayed at an Airbnb called Villa Plumeria, they sent him. $13 for the whole day. His name is Vuth. Not sure if I'm allowed to post phone numbers here.

[@Phangaou]

Thank for visiting our country

[@TravellingWithCon]

@@Phangaou thank you for welcoming me! 🇰🇭

[@AdawgSuperhighway]

Interesting.... I did sunrise at Angkor Wat, but we didn't get tickets online. We went to the ticket office in town on the way there. But I also have never had any stomach issues in Cambodia either.... I was there for almost 3 months, can't wait to go back. LOL.... Still All Good advise tho.

[@garyclarke9685]

Hey can we chat. I got worried there about booking tickets online that was until I read your text

[@AdawgSuperhighway]

@@garyclarke9685 I don't remember where it is exactly because it was like 5 am. But every Tuk Tuk driver will know where it is. $37 for non-Khmer people

[@garyclarke9685]

@@AdawgSuperhighway ok thanks I will get the ticket the day before. My accommodation I'm sure will help me out there. Yeah I'm heading to Cambodia in 8 days time my first time there. Thanks for reply

[@AdawgSuperhighway]

@@garyclarke9685 I wasn't sure about Cambodia for about the first 2 or 3 days.... I was planning on being there maybe a week. I stayed for a month and returned again a month later.... and stayed another month. Pro Tip: Pub Street is the most expensive food in town. The side street next to the 7/11 have lots of restaurants that are cheaper and just as good/better. But the best place for food in the evening is at the riverside park, like maybe 4 blocks from Pub street. No Problem!

[@AdawgSuperhighway]

@@garyclarke9685 Also.... my last 7 videos are of Cambodia.... the most recent is Siem Reap. I will upload another tomorrow

[@CoffeeBreakwithJecy]

Is there atm in the airport so I can just withdraw money there?

[@TravellingWithCon]

I’m 99% confident that I remember seeing some ATMs there ahah so I think you’ll be fine 🙏 but you can use your card anywhere in the airport, plus you can use the Grab Taxi app which you can pay by card

[@YeshuaCor]

There are many atms there this video sucks

[@garyclarke9685]

I didn't know this about booking online & for your ticket to see Angkor wat . I've done much research but this is the first time I've heard about it. Why do I need to book it online? Isn't there a face to face step I can take to book my ticket & have it in a physical form? I'm going there in 8 days time.

[@karensanchez5749]

Use the ticket centre. 1, 3, or 7 day passes available. Take either cash or card at the counter. No lines. Common knowledge for locals.

[@garyclarke9685]

@@karensanchez5749 thanks

[@karenhenderson4395]

Did you get your Cambodian visa at the airport?

[@karenhenderson4395]

Thanks for the reply.

[@TravellingWithCon]

I actually paid for mine online a few weeks before I was due to arrive, and printed it off before landing. I think at Siem Reap and Phnom Penh you can get them on arrival (but I flew into Sihanoukville and I read online that this airport didn’t offer visa on arrival ahah)

[@booker9879]

I got mine directly from the airport, took me about a half hour and I got a ride to my hotel.

[@Roaming_Empire]

Totally unqualified, and full of mis information. Looking like an Ad more than a real review

[@tonyvickery6478]

Was actually about to type the same comment until I read yours.

[@KB3TLE]

NOBODY -- does any videos about the ''cost'' of labor to get things done for expats ? Things like house cleaning cooking or caregivers for elderly expats are not mentioned like in the Philippines are very affordable ? Live in maids and weekly services are often discussed there - perhaps due to many more expats ? Are these issues and needs worthy of a video for those living in or around Siem Reap ? 🤔

[@TravellingWithCon]

Unfortunately I don’t live in Siem Reap and haven’t lived there for a long period, but hopefully someone can help answer!

[@lexbeltran1354]

Don't travel when you're sick, that's obvious

[@TravellingWithCon]

@@lexbeltran1354 i booked a six week trip all the way from Europe to vietnam/cambodia/thailand and got ill with a stomach bug a week after I arrived, so I should have come back home after 1 week?? Ahahahah

[@chrismo2922]

Funny how they don't accept torn or old or tatty USD but the place is disgustingly littered with plastic trash. Gross.

[@TheBuddyShowWorldwide]

This, allegedly, is no longer true. The money, not the litter.

[@AdawgSuperhighway]

??? .... How those 2 issues correlate is a mystery.

[@garyclarke9685]

That's my biggest concern. All the travellers say you must take usd but what's the point if it's going to be refused. Am I not supposed to keep money in my wallet because it is unavoidable not to have folded & creased notes we all have them

[@Mikeycambovideos]

@@garyclarke9685they changed that just recently. Folded and slightly damaged USD are accepted everywhere now.

[@garyclarke9685]

@@Mikeycambovideos yeah I know that now as I'm here & not had a drama with the currency
