Does your trip to Cambodia complete with just ANGKOR WAT, Siem Reap?

Our Swedish couple joined farmers planting rice '11

I know you have some great plan and time span already for each country, city and destination. You're such wonderful and brilliant people, wise travelers and great global trotters. Well, I am not here to ask you a hard and personal question that related to the size of your budget hidden in your pocket and suitcases. But here are some of the issues you can use as eyes-opener around Siem Reap:

1. This small and smart town is getting very touristic because of the temples and its small scale attractions, activities and blooming economy around the area..

2. Most tourists prefer to spend about 2 to 3 days here and roam around town center and temples: eating, shopping and sleeping in great places..

3. MOST tourists are moved around by buses, minibus, car and leaves very few percentage of travelers to take budget transports like tuk tuk, motor bike and bikes. So you can imagine that rich people and some foreign-owned companies take more share of tourist money. Of course, most poor local Cambodians can't afford to purchase such expensive buses, cars and vans..

4. Most area of Siem Reap province is heavily-saturated by tourists and their related activities but not everyone receive good share of tourist money here. Still they are immunized to all types of skin colors, nose shapes and hair styles....

5. And it seems that Siem Reapers are not really appreciated with the presence of tourists. They just take for granted and do not really value the importance feature of having visitors and do NOT know their roles of being as hosts.

6. And again, most of the money tourists spent in Siem Reap do NOT reach ordinary Cambodians and even worst, the money fly out of the town (country) even faster than the departure of its spenders. DEADLY SAD!

7. Some people also ask how come this province and its infrastructure, people and environment look so depressive and ugly despite of great sum of money brought in daily by thousands of visitors...

Will your visit create some (GOOD impression) POSITIVE impact in the local economy and bind great memory in your 'blood' that some poor local Cambodians are rejoicing because of your care? Would you and others like to LEARN more, JOIN and SHARE to create a happier/healthier world?
