Having already visited Angkor and sorting out our own GH and guides etc. We
took the easy option in 2007
We did the 3 day explore package - excellent value... we paid the driver
extra to visit Beng Mealea ( well worth a visit). Book a standard room -we
were told by other guests the deluxe rooms don't really offer extra value.
