Siem Reap Day 3

It was raining almost for the whole day on our last day at Siem Reap, really from the time we opened our eyes. :( Breakfast at hotel was OK. Since it's complimentary, I have nothing to complain. :D Had cornflakes + muesli + buns + croissant + coffee. Lol~ Typical kiasu here. XD

Yummy breakfast.

Although it was raining, we tried our luck to walk to the Old Market which is located around the pub street too.

The rain got heavier when we almost reached the market. =.=" Nothing much there as it looks like a local market for the Khmer to buy their supplies, like any of our local market. Moreover, it was super pack probably because it was a Sunday.

In the Old Market, scary.

We went to a cafe at the Pub Street to wait for the rain to stop. I think we sat there for one hour and it was still drizzling.

Their fresh spring rolls were disasterous. They put in parsley which I hated the most! >.<

 There was this tuk-tuk driver, aiming at us. He stopped his vehicle right in front of the cafe, waiting for us to leave and he really waited for one hour! o.O He is such a patient fella but too bad we walked back to the hotel. He must be disappointed because he wasted one hour just in hope of earning that USD1. I felt bad~

Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day!

As it was nothing much, we went back to the hotel in the hope that the rain will stop soon. As we wished, it stopped! once we stepped into the hotel. =.=" When we wanted to step out again, it rained. It got very heavy this time that we decided to put on the raincoats. T.T

Luckily I got these useful raincoats last minute at Guardian the day before the trip. :p

We got back to Pub Street for lunch after my afternoon nap. Lol~ Eating some expensive and not-so-nice Khmer food. I prefer the food in Malaysia. :p

Lunch again! o.O

We had earlier booked for the ATV Quad Ride tour with the hotel. Check out their website here. We booked for a 2-hour ride that costed USD55 per person. They provide transportation to and back from their place, around 30 minutes tuk-tuk ride from the hotel.


Once reached their place, the owner started to brief us immediately on how to ride the ATV and some dos and don'ts. Each of us had a guide with us to go for a short round, to test if we are okay to ride the vehicle alone. Too bad, I was too chicken that the guide refused to let me alone. >.<"

Nice scenery, muddy roads.

It was not that bad to have someone to ride with me. At least the guide could chit chat with me in those two hours and he was very friendly. Additionally, he could tell me about some information about the places.

Me and the guide. He was carrying my pink backpack. XD

We went around the countryside, seeing mostly paddy fields. Very beautiful and peaceful green scenery. People still use buffaloes instead of machines to farm, so you can see buffaloes everywhere at the village.

Thinking of a way to pass through these buffaloes.

It rained all the while when we took the ride. We chose to ride in the afternoon the hope to see sunset at the rice fields but we already expected we would not be able to see it due to the weather. By 5pm, the sky was very dark and the rain got heavier and heavier than we needed to stop at a side to wear raincoats prepared by the guide.

See the dark sky?

It got too heavy at a point that we lost our moods to snap photos. All we wanted to do is to get back to their office as soon as possible because it was getting colder. T.T The roads were too muddy that my pants were all wet (due to the rain) and dirty. To me, the ride was really worth it and it will be perfect if it was not raining. A new experience to both of us. :)

Not bad huh? :D

It was just nice at 7:30pm when we finished cleaning ourselves up after the adventurous ride, time for dinner! We walked to the Pub Street again (I do not know how many times we went there but there was the only place where we could find expensive decent food). I already decided earlier to eat some exotic meat BBQs at a restaurant called Cambodian BBQ.

Easily found in the Pub Street.

The place was so packed. It provides some weird meats like the snake, crocodile, kangaroo (wtf?!), ostrich as well as some common ones. We ordered set which include pork, beef, squid, chicken, snake and crocodile, and topped them up with frog legs and fish. Both of the crocodile and snake meats were very chewy, I no like it. >.<"

Snakeeee~~~

And please be noted that after the session, you will smell like BBQ meat yourself too. =.=" I smelled like BBQ panther when I boarded the plane the next day as I wore back the same pants.

Us, the BBQ meat. -.-"

The hotel provided us transportation back to the airport the next morning. It was really a nice trip if it wasn't raining that much. Nice people and beautiful places. I think I will probably be returning some other time during the dyer season. :)
