Phnom Penh

« POEZDKA V ANKOR: LAYFHAKI 😉⚡️ Billets: vstup v Ankor na 1 den stoit $37, na 3 dnya - $62, 7 dney - $72. Yesli ty ne uprotyy (upėrtyy) fanatik-arheloh s zerkalkoy, to odnogo dnya vpolne dostatochno. Uzhye 6 chasov khod’by po territorii prilično utomlyayut, i vse khramy nachinayut slivat'sya v sozdanii v odin. Yesli khochesh probrat'sya na territoriyu v duke (zaĭtsem, to yest’) - delo tvoye. Nekotorye berut velikiy i ischut lazeki. No skazhu srazu - pri vydache bileta kazhdogo posetitelia fotografiruyut, i na vkhode v kazhdyy khram smotrity elkin s real'nym personazhem. Tak chto v bol'shie khramy bez bileta tochno ne popast'. ⚡️ Dresser-kod: s golymi plechami nel'zya. Po krayney mere, v bol'shie khramy točno. Dazhe yesli poverkh nakinush’ shal’ v khram ne pustyat, nablyudala takoye lichno. Obuv' - obyazatel'no udobnaya, ne shlepanki. A yeshcho mozhno vzyat' masku na litso, na territorii ochen' pylynno. Kak i vo mnogikh mestakh. ⚡️ Grafik: vyjezhat' na rassvet k Ankor-Vatu v 4 utra dovol'no besponto. Rassvet nachinayetsya v 5:50, to yest' primerno chas nado bude yego zhdat'. Zatō mozhno zaniyat' mesto u kromy ozera, chtoby poshel'kayat rassvetnyy Ankor-Vat. (Khotya mnogie govoryat, chto zakatnye kartochki dazhe poluchshe budut). V tselym vyjezhat' rano utrom - khoroshaya zateya, tak kak v 11 uzhye nachinayetsya zhar i khodit' po khramam tyazko. Kak variant, osobenno yesli ekskursiya na 1 den', priyehat' na rassvet, pogulyat' do 12, vernutsya domoy pospat' i potom chasa k 4-5 obratno v Ankor. Variant ne dlya lenivykh :)

⚡️ Transport: my vdvoyom s podrugoy arendovali tuk-tuk na pol'dnya, s 4:30 do 12:00. Tsena $20, posetili 5 khramov, yeshcho i vodichku nam dal. Udobstvo nalitsom - ne privyazano k ekskursionnoi groupp, sam reguliruyesh' marshrut. Takzhe narod ezdit grupami s gidami, libo samostoyatel'no na velokakh (eto trêsh 😱😅)

⚡️ Yeda: rekomenduyu vzyat' s soboy chto-nibud’ perekusit', na territorii vsë, yestestvenno, po mazhorskih tsenakh. Dokhody ot tur.sfery sostavlyayut do 40% (!) VVP strany, poetomu tvoyi zelyonye bumazhki im ochen’ nuzhny. A vot detey kormit’ ne sleduet, kak by ni khotelos'.

⚡️ Istoriya: neplokho bylo by khotyaby nemnogo pochitat' ob istorii khramovogo kompleksa pered poseshheniem, chtoby ne tupo glazet', a ponimat' chto chemu. Ty zhe sozdatel'nyy turistik 😉 »

« Honestly, there isn't much to do in Phnom Penh. The palace, a couple of temples, and the riverside – that’s pretty much it.

For tourists who are "lucky" enough to stick around in Phnom Penh for more than two days, they'll have to check out other significant and popular attractions that are best avoided altogether. »

« In Phnom Penh, like in any capital city, it’s noisy and crowded. And, more typically for an Asian climate, there’s an overwhelming number of scooters that make the air quality almost unbearable. It's definitely not a place to stay for a long break—just a couple of days at most to check out the local attractions. I especially recommend the audio tour of the Killing Fields. »

« Nighttime Phnom Penh resembles Paris (just a very dirty Paris), yet Cambodia used to be a French colony. They sell baguettes here, and the riverside at night is beautiful)) While Ho Chi Minh left me indifferent, I will gladly return to Phnom Penh someday) Yes, it’s dirty, but I don’t mind it) The city has its own character and is quite colorful! 😊 »
