Day 13 — Siem Reap, Cambodia

6/21/2023 Wednesday

Itinerary:

  • Park Hyatt Siem Reap Hotel

We woke up late today as Mason was having diarrhea and not feeling well. After resting at our room, we went downstairs for breakfast and they was only 1 family there. Not sure how the hotel survive because they are more employees than guests every restaurant we go to. Mason barely ate anything at breakfast. 

We returned to our room to rest more before heading out to the Heritage Mall with Madison which was about 15 minutes walk from our hotel. The mall was pretty empty as well and some stores were closed. We had our Starbucks drinks and I had their local specialty drink, Mango Passion Blended drink. It was pretty good. 

We returned to our hotel as Madison was bored and we went to buy lunch to eat at our room. Later in the evening, we had dinner and left to go to the Royal Independence Gardens but was not allowed in as I think they only allowed locals. So, we took a couple of pictures outside before walking to Made in Cambodia which is a small area that has stalls selling locally made products. There was not many stalls and we shopped a bit before walking to Pub Street again to buy more souvenirs. We did some bargaining and most of the stall owners were very nice but we encountered 1 that was very mean and told us to never come again. Wow, that was eye opening as we thought that even if the price wasn't right, at least be polite as who knows, we might come again and buy other stuff.

We returned to our hotel afterwards and just spent some time with Mason as he was still not feeling well and couldn't eat much.

We rested early as we had to leave for the airport early in the morning.
