Oi, Kilkenny VERY expensive wor. If someone spills it they better lick it, boardgame or no boardgame.

at least the guy will die knowing that he has tasted Kilkenny in a way that most people have not tried yet.

Bumping this thread. We are almost certain of doing this trip this Nov (ie 2008). Anyone interested pls put yr name here or PM me. Flights can be via MAS or Air Asia (I wud prefer MAS but I suppose both oso can get us there).

Will be getting some books from Amazon to brush up knowledge in order to appreciate the place better.

Hopefully can get the OOP Java and Mexica, then we can do all the three MASK trilogy games there hehe....

Have a friend who recommended flying in to Bangkok, and then trekking/bussing over the border. Much more interesting places to visit along the way. Will try to get more details from him.

err... dun think that's what we are planning to do. The "interesting places" for this trip are all in Angkor Wat itself. Ya, we know Thailand has many interesting places but that's for another trip.

We intend to spend 6 days going to the various points in Angkor Wat so add in traveling time etc you are already looking at a 8-9 days break. So it's unlikely we are going to spend a few more days trekking/bussing... KL-PP then Angkor, back to PP-KL

An absolute fascinating way to travel.However a week is not ample for you to 'trek' from Bangkok to Pnom Pemh! My last backpacking to Thailand was 9 days from Hadyai-Surat Thani-Samui-Surat Thani-Bangkok-Chiangmai.The train ride from Bangkok - Chiangmai  is 16 hours!Didnt even get to see ChiangRai. And I dont think everyone can go ,ehem, ' lonely planet ' style...

i went to Angkor during march. was really nice. Try get a flight straight to Siem Reap. Theres nothing much in Phonm Pehn except the killing fields and the genocide museum, but its worth a look if u have time.

If you truly want to see the temples take a 2/3 day pass and so u can take ure time at all the temples. There are alooot of temples. Go to Angkor during sunrise... its amazing.

And be prepared, Siem Reap is a very hooottt and dusty place.

PS: dont give money to the kids no matter how sad they look.

Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to go there soon.

Jeff, any plans made for this trip yet?

MAS is offering tickets KUL-REP (Siem Reap) for RM0!! Well, it's RM496 return once you add in the surcharges, taxes, etc but still a great deal (I think the last time I checked, a return ticket would cost RM900+)

Offer ends 22/6/08 but it's valid for travel till Mar next year. However if you take up this offer, you need to confirm your travel plans now.. which I think may be tough for most of us. Otherwise I wud have snapped up this offer.

But if anyone of you *can* confirm a Nov Angkor trip and would like to snap up this cheap ticket, beep me.
