ICIC..
I am planning for a 2 weeks trip in Cambodia. Just purely to look at all the places of attraction. I don't think i will visit any pubs/clubs this time unlike what i did in Bangkok. IS 2-weeks more than enough if i want to visit Siem Reap, Phnom Penh and Battambang? Do you feel that it is applicable for me to include Laos during the 2 weeks, or should i add on another week for LAos?
I do not intend to chiong girls this time as it will be purely sightseeing..
What can i do after night falls if i don't want to go bring girls back to hotel.. HAHA

By the way, according to your local knowledge, will travelling to Siem Reap from Phnom Penh and then to Laos and back to Siem Reap cost alot? and how about the travel within each city?

Thanks.. Please include more information if you want.. Thanks!!

2 weeks should be adequate. To some 2 days is enough for Angkor Wat, to others 2 weeks isn't. Angkor is huge so it depends what kind of aficionado are you. To tell you the truth I am a very bad tourist, 3 years in Sydney and I didn't even go up the Centrepoint, 2 in Beijing and didn't step in to the Forbidden City. Unforgivable.

Most everywhere you go it's temples, temples and more temples. So unless you're a temple freak, you should factor in some time with some feminine attractions. In PP at least you have the casino but out in SR and esp Batambang, your best companion would be HBO. Don't even expect any English language TV stations in Laos though.

It might be a bit tight to include Vientiane but if you're flying.... I was ferried around Laos and most of the time I don't know where I was. It took 2 days with a stopover at Pakse to get from PP to Vientiane. Probably takes longer to go by bus. Really sorry I couldn't be of much help.
