5.7.2014 (Saturday) - Leave the guest house early morning 4.45am to visit the sunrise at the Angkor Wat. We can't see the sunrise due to the sky too cloudy. Where is the Sun? Oh no, the sun is top of our head already - super hot. We backed to guest house for breakfast. After breakfast, we continue visit Preah Khan, Neak Pean, Tasom and others. After the lunch, we visit Taprom. Why so many tourists visit Taprom due to we wish to see the real amazing trees growing on the temple as there were filmed in Hollywood Movie, Tomb Raider acted by Anjerlyna Jolie.

6.7.2014 (Sunday) - According to our itinerary, we will visit to Kbal Spean. But, the tour guide suggest us go to floating village due to the waterfall is dry - nothings to see. At the end, we also decide to floating village. sitting the boat around the Tonle Sap Lake (Boat fee - $18 per person).
7.7.2014 (Monday) - Early morning, 6.30am check out and flight back to KLIA2.
P/S:
Shopping: I like shopping at Angkor Wat Night Market / Old Market / Pub Street. Buy scarf $ 3 - $ 4, Pants $ 2.5 to $ 3.5, Fridge magnet - 18 piece ($7) - average $ 0.38. Cashew nut - 1kg - $ 7. The price is depends on high peak and low peak season. This times we go is low peak season (Raining season).
Food: I like the coconut shake and pancake banana plus chocolate.
Stay: Bou Savy Guesthouse (big room + clean + friendly worker) - recommended by Tripadvisor.com.my
Working life: Not able to get job vs low salary. In Cambodia, they hard to get job even though they have degree holder. In Malaysia, we easily get the job but with low salary. In my opinion, tour guide is the best job in Cambodia - easy to get the job and with high salary. Next is language, the more languages you know, the more you are human.
