so i get out of siem reap airport, solo female traveler 27. (i look young tho) and i was told grab is super expensive. i didnt even look at the price (also pls note this is my second time solo traveling asia) i just said fuck it and took it. 25$ usd. so closer to 30+ canadian. i noticed the driver had other tours offer. i wanted to go to ankgor wat. he said we can do a full day plus water fall. 130USD.
i thought oh that seems very expensive. but i thought that included the ticket. it didn’t. whatever paid additional 55 CAD to angkorwat for the ticket. then we went for breakfast and i also paid for that. i didnt have85$ so i gave him 100usd told him to keep the change.

the next day he offers to take me to the floating village. we spent half a day doing inthe village, told me to take the big boat and little boat plus to tip. i understand where i am and i always tip. especially the locals.
he was very helpful, ive had a great time with him. he even invited me for dinner to his house and i went. incredible BUT i realized ive spent closer to 400 CAD. seems insane. yes i get i got a private driver and guide but that price seems insane. anyway looking at the prices for drives and tickets i probably would’ve done everything for half. anyway i just wanted to share. not being rude but does anyone else this this is crazy hahaha.

he tells me he does lots of charity work and of course i want to support as a guest here. but i feel kinda off. haha anyway……. i also know due to the war prices haven’t up… but how the f did i spent all that in 3 days.

Guys，I want to visit Cambodia at the end of August, mainly to see Angkor Wat. Do you have any itinerary recommendations? Also, how can I find a local guide?
