Many friends who like to travel in Cambodia must be familiar with it. In fact, Cambodia doesn't seem to cost much, so ordinary people can go there, but many friends think it is inconvenient to go too far and are afraid of being cheated. So this small series will tell you about it. Is it expensive to travel in Cambodia?

I want to give some advice to my friends who want to go to Cambodia. If you find a preferential ticket, just fly directly! You don't need to think about it for that long. If you don't have enough time, just stay in Siem Reap to watch Angkor Wat, go to the bar street, do a Spa, find a coffee shop to drink coffee all afternoon, read a good book and enjoy the slow pace of Angkor Wat. The cost here is very small. You can stay in a good hotel for 2 RMB, and you can have a big meal for 6 USD per capita. Fruits only need a little money when they are full. So, when there is a discount on air tickets, fly to Angkor, and landing visa is very convenient. Angkor Wat has been waiting for you for thousands of years. If you come, you will find everything worthwhile.

I wanted to go to Cambodia for a long time, so when Vera asked me if I wanted to spend a weekend in Angkor, I said, OK! Our travel plan was so happily decided.

On Thursday night, we flew directly from Shanghai to Siem Reap. The plane was two hours late. When we arrived in Siem Reap, it was 23 o'clock in the middle of the night. When I got ready to sleep, Vera was still listening to the Beauty of Angkor explained by Jiang Xun. What a serious girl!

when I got up in the morning, I found that the swimming pool in the hotel was super large, and there were two more. I checked it on booking and found that the price of the room was less than 15 RMB. After breakfast, set off for the Great Angkor Wat to see the Khmer Smile. Specifically introduced in the last article "Cambodia: Khmer Smile".

When I mention Angkor Wat, I will think of the movie In the Mood for Love, in which Tony Leung Chiu Wai tells his worries to a tree hole in Angkor Wat. All his worries are about you, and having you is the destination of love. If I had an extra ticket, would you come with me?

In the dark stone corridor of Angkor Wat, the warm afternoon sun penetrated in, mixed with the cool wind, I shouted in my heart, "If I had an extra ticket, would you come with me?"

All my feelings were melted into this sentence and stayed in the tree hole in Angkor Wat.

After coming out of Angkor Wat and having lunch, we set out for a Thai-Cambodian border town in Battambang province. It is said that a casino run by a Korean in a small town funded our travel expenses except air tickets, with the aim of developing China tourists.

It's a four-hour bus ride from Siem Reap, and I listened to Chinese tour guides explaining the current situation in Cambodia. There are three expensive things in Cambodia:

expensive medical care, expensive gasoline and expensive electricity.

It is said that if they get sick, they should go to the hospital and sign up, which will cost about 5 RMB. Cambodia's per capita monthly income is only 8 RMB per month, so registration alone accounts for two-thirds of their income, not to mention treatment.

gasoline is expensive, so the bus routes of their travel companies are all fixed, and how much oil they use every day is recorded. It seems that their gasoline is about RMB 9/liter.

electricity is expensive, so there are basically no street lamps at night. Suddenly, I feel that I am so happy to live in China and new socialist China.

halfway through the car, the air conditioner broke down. So, we waited for the car to be repaired at a service station. In Cambodia in early August, the temperature is similar to that in Shanghai, about 35 degrees. We ordered an iced coconut for a dollar, and the coconut tree was unexpectedly sweet. As I was born in Hainan, I found that coconuts in Southeast Asia are indeed sweeter than coconuts in Hainan.

The first wait is two hours. During these two hours, we have enjoyed the rural scenery of the service station and tasted all kinds of drinks. We found that the freshly squeezed juice was excellent. For me, it was worthwhile to wait.

I finally changed into an air-conditioned bus and drove to the border town at 6 pm. When I came to the casino where I stayed, I found that the facilities in the casino were really too backward, and there were still many game machines, many of which I could see in China when I was a child. It's long gone now.

after checking in, I found that the hotel didn't even have an elevator, and the room was really bad. The TV was still a small brick-like TV in the 199s in China, with yellow sheets and fluffy bath towels. This kind of accommodation environment, in the end is to play, or to suffer.

It is said that this experience tour is the first trip, and I believe it will never be done, because this condition is really not available, so let China customers pay for it.

the next morning, when we were preparing to cross the border to the market in Thailand, we were told that we couldn't get through and had to cancel.

We can see the town as far as the eye can see, and it is estimated that we will walk in a quarter of an hour. We sat on the sofa staring blankly, not knowing what to do. At last, the tour guide decided to invite us to Battambang for lunch to show their apologies.

two hours later, we went to downtown Battambang and had an authentic Cambodian meal. Cambodian food is slightly salty than Chinese food, but it is still delicious. I heard that because Cambodia is relatively poor, there are few dishes on the table, so add more salt, you can eat more rice and eat less vegetables, so that a family can eat enough.

Cambodian rice is the famous jasmine scented rice, which tastes good. There are 7 countries in the world that import Cambodian rice.

It is said that Battambang Province is the second largest city in Cambodia, where overseas Chinese live. Overseas Chinese account for 3% of Cambodia's population, but they control 7% of all Cambodia's wealth, so Battambang Province is a very rich place in Cambodia.

Battambang is a French colony. There are many colonial French buildings in the city, the shadows of phoenix trees along the road, and foreigners sipping coffee in cafes along the street. All these are just like the pictures in old movies, which are gorgeous and ridiculous. White Horse Temple

We strolled along the road to a small temple of White Horse Temple. Why are the temples in Southeast Asia so similar? I snapped two photos at random, and after walking around the small temple, we came out in a depressed mood.

Vera used her powerful action to find the best local Spa in online celebrity. Vera and I spent $1 each and enjoyed a wonderful Cambodian massage for an hour. The other three companions were waiting for us at the Spa for tea. Because we have to get back to the border town within the specified time. Otherwise, we want to experience all the Spa projects for 24 minutes, and we haven't played enough. This is the disadvantage of joining a group. When you meet a favorite project, you can't have fun.

after returning to the town for dinner, the five of us started the treasure-exploring mode. Vera and I exchanged RMB 1 for 4, riels with the tour guide, determined to spend it.

We opened a durian for 13, riels. I didn't eat such delicious durian, and I didn't feel the smell of durian. Mangosteen is big and sweet, equivalent to RMB 5 cents each, and you are full.

I saw a little brother who bought a roast suckling pig and smiled very brightly. We bought 2, riel's roast suckling pig meat and took a photo with him. When he knew that we were going to take a photo with him, he smiled shyly. At that time, I felt that although this place was backward, the smile on everyone's face was so simple and zero pollution. We ordered a grilled shrimp in a midnight snack shop, which not only cost our own riel, but also cost Wang Xiaoge 13, riel. Eat until you are full, then go to the hotel.

We found the only thai massage store in the town, and we were not satisfied in the afternoon. We decided to come to the Thai-style Spa again. After the massage, we finally went back to the hotel to sleep contentedly.

After waking up and having breakfast, I went back to Siem Reap, and after four hours' journey, I went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner.

Outside the Chinese restaurant, there are many children begging. All the children look stunted and thin. I gave them the drumsticks at the dinner table, and when I watched them holding them in their hands, I swallowed their saliva and couldn't bear to eat them, and my heart was sour.

It is said that Cambodia is 2 years behind Vietnam. Among the 1 countries in Southeast Asia, Laos is the second poorest and poorest Southeast Asian country. May Cambodia develop its economy, and its children can have enough food, and it is best to have books to read.

I visited little Angkor for two hours after dinner. The last half day is free time. We immediately called the largest duty-free shopping mall in Siem Reap and asked them to arrange a kuku car to pick us up and buy it in buy buy.

The duty-free shopping mall is holding a 5% discount on the whole journey. When we arrive at the duty-free shop, all we hear is Chinese. It is estimated that 8% of the duty-free shops in China are shopping crazily. After we buy it, let the mall arrange a kuku car to take us directly to Foreigner Street. After visiting the restaurant

where Beckham once visited, we decided to eat in the restaurant where Beckham once visited. It is said that in Siem Reap, you can eat a rich meal for 6 dollars per capita, and the four of us spent 17 dollars per capita on this meal. During the meal, we asked the hotel to arrange a Cambodian-style Spa for one hour. After dinner, Vera and I went to the Spa, and they continued shopping.

after finishing the Spa, we went to the airport, and the trip to Siem Reap was over. Vera said that if she didn't have a good time and wanted to come again, she spent a whole day in Angkor watching stones, visiting bar streets to eat food, doing Spa and enjoying a slow life.
