Wat Bo is the oldest Buddhist temple in Siem Reap. The compound is very enjoyable because we went on a Monday mid morning and it was devoid of people.
Some halls are open to visit but only if you’re taking shoes off.

A neat, clean and efficient airport. Bathroom has a kiddy sink.
We landed at 10:54am and out of the building by 11:07, after the customs and exchange money, for the ride to the hotel. It does seem our plane is the only one at the time.
Everywhere I looked, I see China: it was built by a Chinese company (Yunnan Investment Holdings Ltd., under a 55-year build–operate–transfer agreement), opened Oct 2023. 25 miles to town, “takes about an hour” the driver said. Did I hear a little resignation – the old airport was closer … The two way traffic road looks brand new.
We used app Grab for the ride, and a car is immediately ready for us, according to the app. However, one man met us right outside, who has multiple phones, said, our car is coming from outside of the airport, “less expensive.” A suv did come quickly and a second man took two phones from the first man. Our driver is a young man whose command of English is better than little Irene. He has a relaxed manner; saying he forgot the phone, and u turn back to the airport, handed two phones to a man.
To town, 120k riels (about $30) in car and 60 riels on tuk.
On our way into town, prime minister’s entourage passed by us.
