Siem Reap

My trip to Siem Reap was fantastic.
I discovered this place to be very safe, local people are so kind and helpful.
I arrived there by bus from Bangkok and easily got visa on arrival at the border. I stayed in Bokre Angkor Hostel, staff is very lovely and helpful there.
If you'll decide to visit this place you should definitely go to see Angkor Wat - the largest Hindu-Buddhist temple complex in the world.
