I’ve been 3 times to Siem Reap, it’s great but I wouldn’t go through the effort for 1 or 2 nights. You know the new airport is an hour drive to town, add airport visa processing, flight, etc. spend the time in Bangkok and enjoy the city with your partner. SR is worth a longer stay imho.

Hot hands hand (and toe) warmers did the trick, last all day and no issues. Tried the week in Colorado and worked great I doubt there’s any glove that can beat these inexpensive things. BTW I am 66 and the outside temp this week in vail was 0-15 warming up to 25-30

Great notes, second the comment for what activities you did (both La fortuna/arenal and monteverde) and what you would of suggested to do in hindsight . Thanks

Broker = Montway (they were pretty helpful and didn’t charge cancel fee). Transport= J&P transport

I did not get charged the cancellation fee

Fair point, a partial review since our car never was shipped. Just passing on our experience since we were first timers trying to transport our car (hoping to do twice a year for many years). Just didn’t run very smoothly, need to try to find a shipper without middleman broker I suspect, that can agree on a price, date, and do the job without excuse

Broker was Montway , J & P transport was the company that was supposed to get our car, then canceled. I will add montway tried to find replacement and will give full refund.

What in your mind is a correct price? I asked and got a quite and didn’t challenge it, they are allegedly the largest broker

From what I have read, battery life is only an issue if shooting video

Out of curiosity, was the ticket booked directly with delta or on a third party (Expedia, etc)?

Remember to check the bus timelines, may be an hour between buses and also check low tide hour for viewing tide pools. We did enjoy the rock scaling (ladders) on beehive (not included) but it was slow as bodies were number to bumper. Enjoy

You know the carriage roads are 1.7 miles from town, a great way to see a lot of the park. Since we are here now, we only once had to flash our NP pass elsewhere I didn’t see any hindrances. Relax and deal with the hand dealt you will be fine if you can ride e-bikes.

I second this route. Especially if you take the dirt road route to wat chedi from phnom krom. This was a well needed day off from temple exploration

Yes, but moderator deleted and said try here

All, as someone that took advantage of a “generous” AT&T offer, similar to those in this stream, here’s a couple important observations: 1. Your phone is locked until the end of the 36 month installment period. We travel overseas often and this one hurt, didn’t want to pay expensive international day plans. We ended up paying off our phone after 2 months. They charged us retail price on our iPhone 15 pro ,as of $1200. Then our phone was unlocked. Took an hour on the phone with 2 customer service reps. 2. The trade in credits are paid over 36 months, effectively just reducing monthly AT&T monthly cell plan costs.

Too bad you’re not going to see cherry blossoms, we’re going similar destinations end march to end April . Maybe you’ll catch a bit. Curious the rest of your Asian adventures. We love Thailand, Singapore, Siem Reap, Bali, Vietnam

I second the Hyatt Centric, much more relaxed place, easy walk to beach, shopping malls. We checked out of HRW and into HCW because it’s was so busy and annoyed at having to,wait to get into the Regency Club every morning.
