1/7/2020

 
10 tips for booking the right hotel, what are the hotel facilities, wifi and internet connectivity, hotel location, is complimentary breakfast included, all inclusive, B&B, room only, half board, full board, self catering, eco-friendly, family-friendly, adult-only, solo travel, couples travel, travelling with friends, Feet Do Travel
Are you planning a trip but are unsure which hotel to book? The hotel you choose is one of the most critical decisions to make with little room for compromise, especially now we are living a "new normal" after Coronavirus lockdown. For your health, you want to ensure your hotel is Covid-compliant.

Being proactive in your choice, carrying out research, and doing a comparative analysis will ensure you pick the right room for you. You may want a standard room with no TV, or a suite with fridge and seating options. Perhaps internet connectivity, complimentary breakfast or airport pick up is important.

When choosing your hotel, there are many things to take into consideration such as your travel budget, location, style, or personal needs. A hotel which initially offers a lower price may end up costing you more than a higher rated hotel which offers complimentary amenities.

To help you minimise your inconvenience, Feet Do Travel have provided practical advice with ten tips to help you booking the right hotel.

Don’t Skip Phnom Penh! 25 Things to Do in Cambodia's Capital

20/5/2019

 
25 Things to do In Phnom Penh, Is Phnom Penh worth visiting, shall I skip Phnom Penh, why you should visit Phnom Penh Cambodia capital, S21 Museum, The Killing Fields, Feet Do Travel
We really enjoyed Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s crazy capital. The majority of the country’s visitors skip Phnom Penh and head straight to the Angkor Wat temples in Siem Reap. I personally feel this is a shame.

Motorcycles whizzing by, tuk-tuk drivers constantly hassling, the noise and dust that comes with any Capital around the world, what is there to like about Phnom Penh, and how can two Country lovers like such a frantic City?

Cambodia is a country ravaged by conflict and war. A violent history of genocide, so disturbing the older generation are trying desperately to forget their past. However, the Kingdom of Cambodia is becoming one of Asia’s leading travel destinations, and at its heart is Phnom Penh, which has its own historical story to tell.

Phnom Penh is teaming with things to do, and is so much more than the S21 Prison, Killing Fields or Royal Palace. The food, culture and of course it’s troubled past all contribute towards making Phnom Penh and Cambodia a fascinating place to visit.
​
We say don’t skip Phnom Penh, and let Feet Do Travel show you 25 things to do in Cambodia’s capital.

Ultimate Travel Guide to Siem Reap, historic city of Cambodia, things to do in Siem Reap besides Angkor Wat temples on a budget, Siem Reap at night, Feet Do Travel
Siem Reap, Cambodia: the land of Temples and 50c beers, what is there not to love? 

Tourists flock in their millions each year to see historic Angkor Wat, but there are so many others things to do in Siem Reap.

Don’t be a temple hopping tourist without exploring more of this historic City. There are many places to eat and drink, museums to visit, Siem Reap is brimming with culture and local crafts and has a lot more to offer than just beautiful temples.

Siem Reap plays an important part in the history of Cambodia. A story dating back thousands of years, a turbulent past where peace only returned 13 years ago. I personally feel visitors to Cambodia need to hear the plight of its people, in order to truly understand the Country.

Let Feet Do Travel show you the many things to do in Siem Reap. This is your ultimate travel guide to Siem Reap. (Don't worry, temples are also included!)

Angkor Wat? Ultimate Guide to Cambodia’s Iconic Temples

Ultimate guide to Angkor Wat, Cambodia’s Iconic Temples, best temples to visit in Siem Reap, Cambodia, Angkor Wat Sunrise, Lara Croft Tomb Raider Temple Ta Prohm, The Bayon, Temple with many faces, Feet Do Travel
Angkor Wat is the epitome of Khmer architecture. It’s a rite of passage for travellers in Cambodia to visit Siem Reap’s iconic temples which attracted 2.6 million visitors in 2018. What I didn’t realise is that Angkor Wat isn’t just one Temple, but a huge Temple complex housing many stunning, ancient buildings. 
​
Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992, Angkor Wat is considered to be one of the seven wonders of the world, and is the most important religious complex in South East Asia.  Within the Angkor Archaeological Park, there are around 72 Hindu and Buddhist Temples dating between 9th and 15th Century.

So how do you choose which temples to visit? Should you buy a one-day pass or three-day pass, and how much do they cost? What are the best temples to visit in one day? Which is the best temple for sunset? Is sunrise at Angkor Wat worth it? Where was Lara Croft Tomb Raider filmed? 

Feet Do Travel help answer these questions. This is our ultimate guide to Cambodia’s Iconic Temples; Angkor Wat and the best temples to visit in Siem Reap.

S21 and The Killing Fields - Why You Need to Visit

3/1/2019

5 Comments

 
 Cambodia Genocide,Pol Pot, Khmer Rouge, S21 Prison Tuol Slengh Museum, Killing Fields, Phnom Penh
The Kingdom of Cambodia has a complicated, dark and tragic history. 

A trip to Cambodia’s S-21 prison (the Tuol Slengh Genocide Museum) and Choeung Ek Killing Fields in Phnom Penh will show you this history in graphic detail. It’s a harrowing experience, and one you shouldn’t shy away from. But why? 

Why should you put yourself through a disturbing and emotionally difficult time? Let me be real, you won’t just be listening to horrific stories of mass torture carried out by the Khmer Rouge under Pol Pot’s command, you will see photographs of their pained, contorted faces after they died. 

Why make yourself look at photos of victims, then stare at skulls piled thousands high, as tall as a building, knowing this could be the skull of someone you saw alive in a photo? 

Why? Because the young survivors of the Cambodian genocide want their story to be told. They wish to educate the world about what happened to them, their families, and the country they love. 

Why? In the hope that these atrocities, too vile to describe in too much detail, will never happen again.
​
Their suffering should never be repeated. The people of Cambodia never thought something like this could happen to them, and you need to learn so that this doesn’t happen to you.

Best Rooftop Bars in Siem Reap

Best rooftop bars and sky lounges in Siem Reap, Cambodia with Feet Do travel
Rooftop bars and sky lounges provide fabulous cityscape views, and a certain ambience. Sipping on a margarita as the sunsets in Siem Reap, Cambodia is the perfect way to end a busy day of temple viewing. But which one do you choose?

I simply adore sunsets. Some early risers prefer sunrise but for me, sitting down at the end of the day with a cold, refreshing drink makes me happy. I always try to seek out the best sunset spots; when we are at a beach I look for beanbags, in a City it’s a rooftop bar.
​
During our recent trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia, I discovered there were quite a few sky lounges, and I found myself wanting to visit as many as I could within the time we had available.
​
If you enjoy City views, people watching from up high, sunsets, cheap beers and cocktails, this is our pick of the best rooftop bars in Siem Reap.

Street Art in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Phnom Penh Street Art, Cambodia, Feet Do Travel
Street Art in Phnom Penh Cambodia? Not the usual place to search for murals but wherever we travel, I always look for Street Art. 

Admittedly to say there is a “Street Art Scene” brimming with insta-worthy Urban Art would be a stretch too far, however there is at least one street where you can find some pretty murals.

Street 93 in the Boeung Kak Area known by many as “Lakeside”, is where you will find a collection of walls painted to brighten up a once derelict area.
​
But for now, until more murals are painted, let me show you what we uncovered when looking for street art in Phnom Penh.
