Things didn't go exactly to plan on this Siem Reap walking tour... but that's half the fun!!!
I set out to join an organized walking tour of Siem Reap, Cambodia, but the first one had stopped running a few months back. No problem, I tell myself, I'll just hop in a tuk-tuk to the second location! Except... I couldn't find it. So I did what any determined traveler would do: created my own walking tour instead.
Join me as I explore the beautiful Royal Gardens in Siem Reap, discover the peaceful Wat Bo temple where I chat with a friendly monk, stop for coffee at the charming Motor Cafe by the river, and even spot some cheeky monkeys along the way.
Sometimes the best adventures are the unplanned ones!
