We recently visited Cambodia and Bangkok , Pattaya total 12 days tour . I would like to express my disappointment regarding my recent experience with the booking team, particularly with Ms. Rishika from PYT. I found her to be rude and adamant about certain facts, especially regarding the compulsory tips, which were not communicated clearly prior booking . On a positive note, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Ms. Anita ( Sales Manager) and Ms. Ganga for their cooperation and professionalism. They were very helpful, and I appreciate their support. If you're seeking an unforgettable stay in Cambodia/ Siam Reap , Angkor de Miracle property is a top-tier choice that delivers on every front. From the moment you arrive, you'll be impressed by the exceptional service and luxurious amenities. The breakfast spread is truly a feast for the senses, featuring a diverse array of fresh, delicious options that cater to every taste. The pool area is nothing short of spectacularluxurious and inviting, offering a perfect retreat for relaxation. Please refer attached photos . The spacious rooms are beautifully designed, providing a serene and comfortable haven after a day of exploration. However, what truly sets Angkor Miracle apart is the outstanding hospitality. Mr. Dara, the manager, stands out for his exceptional attentiveness and warmth, ensuring every guest feels valued and well-cared-for. Overall, Angkor de Miracle is a blend of luxury, comfort, and remarkable service, making it a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Cambodia/ Siam Reap . Stayed at Oak Wood Hotel and Residence in Bangkok and service hospitality was satisfactory though there is a loty of room for improvement . Some of the front office /reception staff was found to be rude on telephone ( Mr Monty ). Noted trainees at the front desk / reception with not adequate knowledge on service and room service taxes for food and beverages . The rooms found without any wardrobe and clothes require to be hanged in open which is a put off ( Please refer attached photo ) . Even the handwash in the room was diluted, which felt very cheap. I ordered salmon fish from the menu, but it was not disclosed that it would be dried fish served , which was quite misleading. Breakfast though was found to be satisfactory . Stayed at the Centara Life Avenue Hotel at Pattaya , and it was a disappointing experience. The hotel is located inside a narrow/ congested lane, making access quite inconvenient ( Please refer attached photos ). The reception area is surprisingly small and cramped. Additionally, the lobby had a persistent smell of dried fish, which was off-putting. The staff exhibited stingy behavior when it came to breakfast, offering very limited options ( Please refer attached photos ) . Overall, this hotel did not meet my expectations and I would not recommend it. Totally not a 4 star property which we had requested and expected . I hope this feedback helps in improving future interactions. Thanks and warm regards Capt. Altamash M Khotaltamash khot, Trip to Cambodia

Cambodia backpacker-edition: A 11-Night 12-Day Itinerary

Cambodia offers a striking blend of ancient wonder and vibrant culture, making it a prime destination for backpackers. This unique 12-day itinerary takes you through iconic sites like Angkor Wat and the capital, Phnom Penh, allowing for local experiences, from floating villages to culinary adventures. Explore Cambodia's deep-rooted history while embracing its lively modern spirit.

Delve into Ancient Temples in Siem Reap

Your journey begins in Siem Reap, where history lives and breathes at the Angkor Wat complex.

Engage with expert local guides who will take you through the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Ta Prohm, overgrown with ancient trees, making you feel like you've stepped into another world.

Floating Village Adventures

Immerse yourself in the unique lakeside culture at Kompong Khleang, a floating village. A scenic drive with sights of rice fields leads you to this fascinating community, where life revolves around water. Experience the vibrant market, observe local fishermen, and take a boat ride to see the village's stilts rising above Tonle Sap Lake. It’s a cultural insight that enriches your journey.

Captivating Phnom Penh Experiences

The capital, Phnom Penh, reveals a different side of Cambodia. Discover the Royal Palace, admire the Silver Pagoda, and explore the haunting S-21 Genocide Museum.

In Phnom Penh, the vibrant food scene, complemented by local markets, delivers a distinct flavor profile that is sure to please. Each meal tells a story of tradition and taste.

Sampling local dishes as you explore the city at night is an experience not to be missed - the best way to truly savor the culture. Cambodia’s rich gastronomic offerings round out an itinerary that beautifully intertwines cultural immersion with adventure.

While the pace is generally quick, be aware that some days include considerable travel, particularly to floating villages and temple tours. Ensure you are prepared for long days filled with exciting activities.

Thank you team for organizing our Cambodia vacation. I read about Pickyourtrail in The Hindu about 8-10 months back and approached them to plan my vacation. They did an excellent job. Right from the choice of hotels to the airport pickups and local tours with guides...everything was smooth and hassle free. Thank you once again for making our family vacation a very very memorable one.
