Siem Reap Q&A

I'm visiting Cambodia in October and staying in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. We plan to stay at Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, with 3 days in Angkor wat. I'm a vegetarian, I don’t eat any kind of meat and eggs, are there any local delicacies that I could try?

Driving in Cambodia can be a challenge, especially when it comes to motorbike riders who seem to be unaware of the proper procedure for turning left. They often ride on the far side of the road and then suddenly turn left without indicating, putting other drivers at risk. I've seen it happen multiple times, and it's frustrating to see people put themselves and others in harm's way.

I'm a licensed Angkor guide and I've noticed that when using Google Translate, my local friends take forever to understand it. I'm wondering if there are any hacks to make sure the translation is correct.

I've heard Tonle Sap Lake can grow to be quite large, covering parts of Banteay Meanchey province.

I'm planning to visit Siem Reap this Monday from Germany, and I'm concerned about the flooding in the area. I've heard about the downpour and want to know if it's safe to travel and visit Angkor Wat and the Floating Village.

I'm considering a last-minute trip to Cambodia and don't have the time to plan a full solo itinerary from scratch. I'd love to join a group tour (preferably with a younger crowd), but my research keeps hitting the same major operators: G Adventures, Intrepid, Contiki, TruTravels and Intro Travel. Are there any alternative group tours or local companies I should look into? I'm actually on a budget and would prefer to spend <USD400 for a week.

I'm trying to change a flight I booked directly on their website, but the 'manage my bookings' section isn't working and they're not responding to emails or phone calls.

I've seen videos of tourists buying and cutting women's hair in Cambodia, and it made me wonder how locals feel about this practice. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but I'd like to hear from people who live here.

I'm a retiree living in Peng Huot, Siem Reap, and I need a reliable internet service provider for online gaming. My current contract with SINET is almost up, and I'm looking for alternatives.

I'm a licensed Angkor guide with 11 years of experience, and I'd like to supplement my income with online English teaching. I'm not sure what opportunities are available or what qualifications I need.

We've heard rumors that Thai authorities may be turning away people with Cambodian passport stamps. Has anyone recently crossed from Cambodia into Thailand and experienced any issues?
