Reblogged from Backpacking Teacher:
Angkor Wat. It is most definitely worth the visit. I flew out from Saigon with a fellow teacher to to see the fabled temple complexes of which Angkor Wat is but one. Flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap are not cheap (about USD$300) but after briefly contemplating the bus (6 hours to Phnom Penh and then a further 6 to Siem Reap) we decided against it.
This is an excellent blog if you are planning to travel from Vietnam to Cambodia. Check it out!
Personally, I found the blog really helpful in planning a journey from Ho Chi Min City(HMC) to Angkor Wat.
I have now decided against an extended trip through the Mekong Deltaand shall probably fly from HMC to Siem Reap
, saving a trip on the Mekongfor another time.
