Review of a private tuk-tuk trip from Siem Reap to Banteay Srei, Kbal Spean, and the Landmine Museum, with practical tips and value advice.

“Le musée des mines n’est pas intéressant car il est très mal tenu, on le dirait abandonné. Prix d’entrée totalement injustifié. La promenade en forêt pour voir les sculptures dans la rivière est sympa sans plus. Le seul intérêt est le temple de Banteay Srei qui est exceptionnel. À lui seul il justifie l’activité. C’est magnifique !”
