Angkor guides: Tek???
 
The highly recommended Ponheary is booked for the time I will be in Siem Reap.

On another forum, I guide named Tek was highly praised. Has anyone used him?

AskOksana did, recently, and speaks very highly of her. Read her recent three part report ... part 3 refers to Tek

Are all of Ponheary's guides booked? I used her brother Dara last time I was there, and I thought he was really great.

could you ask her to make an exception for you and maybe take those people on other days??

We recently visted the Angkor area with Saron and had a great time...I can highly recommend him and his driver. Saron's english is very good and he is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He paced our tour well and was extremely flexibile. His driver has a very nice Toyota minibus with great AC (a huge plus after hiking around the temples foe a couple of hours) and he was always quick with a ice cold bottle of water and a smile. I think you would enjoy your tour with Saron very much--we did.

Thank you all for your suggestions.
I will contact these other guides to see if they will be able to meet my unique needs.

As I was not pleased with Ponheary's response to my 40 emails, I demanded to speak with her manager. She refused....so I will be contacting her corporate headquarters.

rhkkmk Apr 18th, 2008 07:37 AM

please try to be a bit patient....that corporate structure is currently under a lot of pressure from one quarter

hi there - can someone provide the contact information for Ponheary? I would like to see if I can contact him/her (?) for our trip in December. Thanks!

Gpanda Sep 23rd, 2008 01:02 PM

[email protected]. She may be booked. December is the busiest time of the year.

missViv Sep 23rd, 2008 01:15 PM

missViv Sep 23rd, 2008 01:18 PM

Kathie Sep 23rd, 2008 02:01 PM

Gpanda Sep 23rd, 2008 02:50 PM

Of course. Sorry.

I read on another forum that Ponheary's email changed because her yahoo accout was phished. It is now [email protected].

rhkkmk Oct 6th, 2008 06:18 AM

ponheavy recently had computer compromise problems so i think her e mail may have changed....maybe lori will see this and provide the current address

offwego Oct 6th, 2008 05:56 PM

RunMiami has the right address. Contact Ponheary or Dara at
