[QUOTE="nikhuzlan, post: 617063, member: 19744"] [b]Day 23, 28april2011[/b] [b]Two days free in Siem Reap before we leave for Kuala Lumpur for a week's rest at home. Also a chance to attend to business and be with the family. Decided to play tourist while Ivan chooses to chill out at the hotel. The plan was to visit an isolated Wat and also the "Waterworld" at Tonle Sap. Angkor Wat is a must of course but equally important to me was the Wat at Phnom Krum, a solo hill just 500ft high about 20km out of town. Its also on the way to the Tonle Sap Waterworld jetty, if the hidden detour can be found.
