Siem Reap departure flight decision
 
We will be spending 3 full days to see the temples at Angkor Wat. We return on the 4th day and are debating which flight schedule we should take to Bangkok. Currently we are reserved on the 1:20PM flight on Bangkok Airways. <BR>Is there something else we can do in the morning before the flight? Or should we just take the 10AM flight back to Bangkok?<BR>Thanks, Chris

I took the 3:30 (?) flight from Siem Riep to Bangkok. Before my flight I visited the Central Market for an hour, and took a tuk-tuk ride. It was well worth it because it enabled me to interact with the natives. You could also lay by the pool and relax, or have a Khmer massage. Hopefully, your hotel has a pool and a massage center.

Or you could go see the sun rise at any number of spectacular places: Srah Srang or Bakhong are both beautiful.

I'd recommend staying as long as you can. There are things to do in town like visiting the market, and you may want a last visit to a favorite temple.

We also took the 7:30pm flight. We used the morning to sightsee, shop, and then a nice afternoon at the pool. We figured, what would we do in Bangkok if we got there in late in afternoon...hardly run around, so we spent one more day seeing and swimming. Angkor Wat is hot, hot, hot. Just make sure you have secure hotel reservation in Bangkok. Oh, by getting in late, no traffic from airport in Bangkok.
