吴哥之杂瓣拼盘—行前准备,关于住
之前出行都是老公一手打点,我基本就当个甩手掌柜,百事不管之余,偶尔还貌似轻描淡写,实则牙尖嘴利地对行程指手划脚,说三道四,抑制不住讨嫌地当事后诸葛亮.这次国庆大假,因为是我力主去吴哥,完成订票大任后老公就拍拍手,撩下挑子,放话全权交由我安排,我想怎么折腾怎么折腾,想吃,想住,想玩哪里全部悉听尊便,他一概全盘接收,不说半个不字.
唔,造反了.撩挑子不干了.有什么呀,大不了我亲自出马呗.
首选着手落实的是住,因经由西贡到暹粒,在金边的住宿就跳过了.搜寻目标也很明确----GH.
省钱,还可以美其名日体会当地风土人情.主要参考www.talesofasia.com, LP也不错,注意有个S,不要与www.taleofasia.com 混淆,后者也有旅游信息,但GH信息还是前者查起来方便.如果不想住GH,可参考http://maps-guide.org/cambodia/siemreap/city-centre-map.htm看着地图选住处吧.
因饭馆,酒吧什么的都在旧市场附近,搜寻目标就进一步锁定在这一区域,这样吃饭逛街步行就得,不用再为此支付市内交通费,虽然据说费用只是从2000R到1美元不等,但能省事就省事吧.我前后大概给近十家GH发过预订邮件或者是通过它们的网络预定,小型抽样的结果如下:
1.网上口碑不错的redlodge,邮件地址:redlodge_angkor@hotmail.com
第二天回信,且是我收到的最礼貌周全,英文程度最好的信,但却是婉拒预定,称只接受walkin的游客.不妨把回信也放上,大家自已看看,

2.大家一致好评的sun sengky ,邮件地址:sunsengky@yahoo.com
当天下午就回信,但表示没有免费接机,小车接机要6刀,汽车接站就免费,人家机场明码实价的小车接机才5刀呢,这让我对其说法产生一丝不信任感, 再询问TUKTUK接机价,答日4刀.以前的游记可是写司机为拉生意,如果你答应其后几天包他的车,接机及当天看日落是免费的啊,不爽,再找.其回信之一如下:

也是我们最后入住的一家,差不多算是LP上对旧市场附近budget hotel的第一推荐了.理由两条一,旧市场附近,二在河边.它的回信给人实话实说的感觉,所以找GH找得头大的我就决定选它了.入住后觉得还行,还算干净,入住的五天我们入乡随俗地脱鞋打赤脚,也没觉得怎么脏.床单,被套一天一换.虽然织物的质地略嫌稀薄.
价格方面,不怎么还价,我们入住五天,所谓优惠也只是允许我们以12刀的价格住到据说不接受风扇价的二楼房间,我们还得答应不用空调.我跟老板理论12刀的价格,在red lodeg可是空调,热水,还送早餐了.老板晃着头,位置不一样嘛,那个地方我知道,脸上一副没法比的表情.说实话,我对red lodeg实地考察后印象也不差,只是受不了它周围一溜亮着暧昧红灯的massage店,夜幕下给人一种非常不好的感觉.
在决定继续住shadow of angkor之前我们还看了red piano,这个以酒吧闻名的店,GH部分和酒吧不在一起.通往GH的路,有一段是坑洼不平的石子路,刚好我们去的那天下过雨,走起来很不爽,这让我对它印象大减.价格是20刀,如果我们同意第二天换另一个房间,可以优惠到18刀,麻烦又不便宜,放弃.
风格鲜明的molly malones,邮件地址: info@mollymalonescambodia.com.位置真的不错,就在酒吧街上,不过晚上可能有点吵.这个店太俏了,先前我也曾通过他们的网络订房间,没回应.到当地后到他们前台问,那个眉眼细细的女生很麻利地看了看帐本,说没有,我问后天呢,这女生笑起来,再看了看说,the same.没什么可想的了,开路了.
说回shadow of Angkor,它三楼房间的风扇价是10刀,比一般8.9刀的价格也要高一点.房价贵的二楼的房间其实还没三楼大,床也小多了,三楼是两张1米5的床,二楼就是两张并在一起的单人床.但是二楼房间有阳台,坐在上面喝茶是假,晾衣服方便啊,有点焚琴煮鹤?呵呵那就焚琴煮鹤吧.
