Subject: Re: From Angkor to Mekong in one day by boat? (and other) Posted on: Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:39:09 +0200

In article 5c7290ab1c7e@s8g2000prg.googlegroups.com>, says...

> does anyone know if we can go down the Mekong all the way from Siem
> Reap to the delta in Vietnam by boat? Can one do it in one (long) day?

Technically possible, the problem will be finding a boat. There are
boats leaving at 7am from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, once in PP you'd have
to find a boat to continue the journey. Then there are 3-5 day tours
from Siem Reap to Saigon (bookable in Siem Reap).

> Visiting Angkor we plan to hire a guide for 2-3 days - any good tips?

I was twice in Siem Reap and both times I just hired a local. The second
time I hired the taxi driver who picked me up at the airport for $25/day
(car + driver), which is cheap in my opinion.

As I wrote it is possible to book tours in Siem Reap.
