Exploring Siem Reap & Visiting Apopo

After a much needed sleep in, I wake up to a beautiful Siem Reap morning. I head down to the hotel restaurant for some breakfast and slowly start to plan out my day. I plan to take it easier today given how hectic the past few days have been. There are a spots in Siem Reap I plan to visit today but not a strict schedule to adhere to.

Angkor Wat

Onward to Siem Reap and Angkor Wat After my brief visit to Laos, I now make my way to Siem Reap where I plan to visit Angkor Wat. I have a morning flight to Bangkok.
