Siem Reap, Cambodia

Our day started with a 2:30 am wake-up call for the long taxi ride to the airport, and then a relatively easy flight through Bangkok Don Mueang airport to Siem Reap, Cambodia. We were pleasantly surprised with Siem Reap, a charming little colonial town, and years of hoarding Hyatt points paid off when we checked into the beautiful Park Hyatt hotel.

After some welcome cocktails in the hotel lobby, we ventured into town to look around and have lunch, and we visited a fairly interesting temple, the first of many.

We returned to the hotel to spruce up, then had evening cocktails in the courtyard while taking in a performance by traditional Cambodian Apsara dancers.

 Next up was the night market, followed by dinner, and a gazillion more cocktails.
