    Koh Rong Sanloem Island

    Catch a train and ferry to this island getaway. Stay in beach bungalows but note many only have fans. Go snorkeling in the morning when visibility is best. Good advice from a traveler: "Pack reef-safe sunscreen as it's hard to find on the island. Also bring cash as ATMs are limited."

    Siem Reap & Angkor Temples

    Take an overnight bus to Siem Reap. Visit the floating villages on Tonle Sap Lake early in the dry season for the best experience. Wake up at 4am for sunrise at Angkor temples.
