Actually this trip was unplanned if compared to the other trips! My friend and I just buy the ticket at the really last minute! Can u guys believe this? We bought the ticket 3 days before we are depart.. seriously.. this is just totally crazy!
and for sure, the crazy unplanned trip must have the unplanned situation waiting for us!!
First, when we were passing the security check at the airport KLIA 2, the lady asked me to open my bag and take out my contact lens water, my toothpaste, and my AXE spray. They were just so new cause i just bought them, and she took them all with the reason, these things are not allowed to bring into the flight! Aduhhh...fine! My fault too cause bringing the big one..LOL
Next, when we were departed to the Siem Reap, Cambodia. Our flight returned back to the KLIA 2 once again cause the technical problem in the system!! It just like more than half an hour we were gonna landing at Siem Reap but we needed to return back to KLIA 2 that take around another hour of flying time! And this trip took us around 5 hours to reach Siem Reap, Cambodia! 5 hours!! 3 hours more than the expecting time and there's no action taken from the Airasia! This flight really wasted our time! But fortunately we landed safely and not ended up as MISSING! hahahaha XD
When we landed at the Siem Reap, Cambodia..
For the info, we need to fill up the form of visa and wait for the counter to open at arrival hall. After come out from the arrival hall, you can change some of your US dollar to their money here, Riel. But the rate at here is quite low if compare to outside (US$1=3800 riel* at the airport and US$1=4000 riel if outside!! And you must remember that US$1=4000 riel, cause everyone is using that rate when you are going to any shop in Siem Reap!!)
(*maybe higher maybe lower...just depend to the day rate)
Then, there's some small booth selling the SIM-card. Either you want to buy or not but for me..i needed it. US$5 for one SIM and you can choose between DATA or normal package! Kindly suggest to take the DATA package..because you might not want to call anyone right? Since you have the phone like Iphone, Samsung n etc that support multiapp like Wechat, Whatsapp, LINE...
When get out from the airport, don't be worried about the transport, cause there's a lot of transport to choose like Teksi, Van or Tut-tut (I really suggest you guys to use the Tut-tut cause it's new experience right? LoL) and the price from airport to town around US$5 for one trip (no matter how many people you have)
That day my friend and I didn't servay any hotel before we were coming, so we ask for the help from the Tut-tut driver to bring us to find the hotel one by one! But before that..you need to negotiate about the transport fee!! If not, you might get "killed" by that driver! Fortunately we meet a nice driver (i think so) named Samnang, who willing to bring us to servay and just ask for US$5 for the fee.

And luckily we found one hotel (Tankang Angkor Hotel) that really close enough to the main place that we should go at Siem Reap. But the price is quite pricey for those who are coming for budget trip. It's around US$28 per night!
After check-in the hotel, cleaned up ourselves, then we were going out for some foods at one restaurant (Muslim Family Restaurant, Ustaz Haji Musa) owned by one local Muslim family. (This place was suggested by Mr. Samnang, our Tut-tut driver). We just order one Chicken Tom-Yam soup with two steamed rice, a cup of lemon ice, and a cup of juice, and it costed us around US$6! But the taste really not bad.. next time anyone who want to come here can go and have a try at here, especially for the Muslim. It's Halal!
That night after having our dinner, we went back to the hotel and had our rest because we had been too tired for the whole day long journey.
*kindly info..please bring alone a multi-plug before you are coming to Cambodia, the plug here are not suit for the charger we bring. You can kindly ask from the receptionist of the hotel if you forget to bring or just go n buy one and it costs around US$5! (Like I said..it's all using US dollar!!)
