Are you planning to visit Thailand from Cambodia? The foremost point is to understand how to get to Siem Reap from Bangkok.
Regardless of the mode of transport, you consider, whether it is a direct bus, plane, taxi, mini-bus or casino bus, it all is based on the patience, money, and time you have. Available modes of transport
Direct Bus Taking direct buses to Bangkok from Siem Reap is the easiest route. It is comfortable as you need not haul your luggage and change buses at the border. These direct buses arrange for your visas. There are two reputed companies Giant Ibis and Nattakan offering direct buses. The direct buses offered by genuine companies have good drivers and friendly attendants. Taxi Taking a taxi is expensive. However, you have to take two taxis and walk through the border. You can book with a local Siem Reap travel agent or at the guesthouse a taxi. On crossing the border there are taxis to transport you to Bangkok at a price 1900 baht. It takes three to four hours. Of course, there is a need to bargain. The taxis offer a comfortable seat to accommodate three and maybe four, as the taxis are Toyota Camry’s. Flights
Mini-buses The mini-buses drop you on the Cambodia border and meet you on the Thailand border. You need to carry your luggage and walk through the border. It is best to get a ticket to Poipet from Siem Reap and to take a casino bus or another mini-bus to Bangkok from Aranyaprathet taking 2.5 hours. Another option is the combo of mini-bus and casino-bus. It needs hopping from Mini-bus, walking through the border and taking Casino-bus from the car park. The casino-buses are brightly painted and are massive featuring kooky designs.
A visit to Cambodia is not complete without seeing the royal palace and the grounds surrounding it. The place offers an insight into the past of the glorious kingdom that it was. You can see various beautiful structures inside the palace grounds which also include the Silver Pagoda. The grounds also contain a lot of temples. The gifts offered by various world leaders and exquisite murals are on show at the palace grounds.
The Silver Pagoda
The Silver Pagoda in Phnom Penh dominates the palace grounds with its magnificence. It is called so because of the silver tiles that cover the floor. Five tons of silver is used to cover the entire floor. However, most of it is covered to protect it from damage. You can only view only a few of the five thousand gleaming silver tiles near the entrance. The original name of the structure is Wat Preah Keo which translates in English as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
The original construction of the Pagoda was done in wood under the rule of King Norodom in 1892. The silver tiles were laid later in the year 1962. The Khmer Rouge took great care to preserve this beautiful structure only to show to the world that it was committed to conserving the rich tradition and culture of Cambodia. The Rich Collection of Buddhas
One of the main attractions of the Silver Pagoda in Phnom Penhthat rivals the silver flooring is the Emerald Buddha that lent its name to the structure. It is sculpted in the Baccarat crystal style and is placed on a highly decorated pedestal. Though it was thought that the Buddha was made of Baccarat crystal the theory doesn’t hold water as Baccarat crystal came into existence only in the 18th century whereas the Buddha was made a century earlier. However, these theories shouldn’t come in the way of you enjoying the beauty of the Buddha.
What could probably make you more wide-eyed is the 90 kg solid gold life-size statue of the Buddha? This statue has 2086 diamonds embedded on it. The largest of the diamonds is 25 carats in weight. You can reach this area of the pagoda by climbing the beautiful Italian marble staircase. The palace grounds which house the royal palace are open to the public. Only those areas which house the royal family are kept out of bounds. The Throne Hall which has a golden spire is open to the public. The place is painted yellow and white. Yellow represents Buddhism which is the main religion of the Cambodians. Hinduism, which was the religion during the period of Angkor rule is represented by the white color. Home without nature, greenery or trees is not a wonderful home, it’s gave so much prosperity and beauty to the people who living within. Our parents home built over a decade ago, they planted their trees when it’s was small or about 1.5 meters height (picture below) and now some of the tree is even taller than the house. Baby CoconutThere are more than 4 coconut trees within this beautiful home, and the fruit that’s yields from tree tastes is simply amazing, the baby coconut that’s ready to yield is also look adorable, and we almost sure that some of the westerner probably haven’t seen the tree itself let’s alone the fruits on the trees. Great Atmosphere | Natural HomeLastly if building a home with nature on the side, birds, natural breeze and a lot of greenery does bring lot of health and prosperity. We would never imagine living in the crowded area with no fresh air. Everything inside is superiority modern bring out both great living and stress free.
