We spent 2-3 hours in the Villa before going out for dinner. Friends had a swim while I sat beside the pool and watched them (and took some selfies and some photos).
The walkway from our villa to the pool/cafe.
The pool. Fried said that the water is salty. Hmmm.... Special?!
The pool isn't too huge but it is just nice for a few friends to play in it. =)

In the evening, everyone done cleaning and had some rest. I was a bit bored and looking forward for dinner, to explore the city at night. Who knows..... Who knows...... A few of my friends K-O-ed and left 3 of us went out for dinner. Time to explore the night market! Time to shop!!!
Angkor Night Market is the first night market in Cambodia. There are 2 entrances for this night market and it has a lot of shops/stalls. This night market is quite a huge one, with lots of food stalls and souvenir shops.
Need some guide to the night market?
1) My first advice would be just jump on a Tuk Tuk and tell the driver you want to head to the night market. It is a place where all drivers will know. Pay $2 and get here for some cheap beer/food/souvenirs.
2) Log on to their website for some directions. Click HERE for the link.
3) If you are at the city, look up for signage to night market. Or, ask the locals. People in Siam Reap are all very friendly and helpful.
Here's the night market! The signage looks very new and island bar looks very promising.
However, I didn't get to try that due to time constriction.
Here is the side where there are more souvenir shops.
Me and the signage.
Took one photo with this dress in Taiwan last year at Xi Men Ding (Click HERE for the post). Same time, different place. =)
Oh, and not to forget the fruit juice stalls. They are everywhere.
Problem is, we don't know which stall to buy from. Some stalls have fresh milk, some use only condensed milk. Some stalls have coconut shake, some don't have. It all depends on what you want, but I find it a little hard to ask their recipes. So, just buy with your instinct/feel. =D
After walking around at the night market for about an hour, or a lesser, we decided to try a roadside noodle stall for dinner. I didn't take photo of my food because it was too dark. I ordered a plate of fried noodles with chicken. It LOOKs pretty much like Malaysian-style fried noodles but it tastes really different. I don't know how to describe the taste but it is too salty. But the taste is really worth remembering and if it is less salty, it would be a great dish! Khmer style is really special. =)
My friend felt a bit uncomfortable during dinner and then we headed back to the villa after getting water from the mini market.
The mineral water we bought. It is by NESTLE! Never seen this in Malaysia.
It costs $1 per bottle. There are even cheaper brands about 80 cents.
The Cambodia Shirt that I bought at the old market earlier of the day.
Preparing it to wear it to Angkor Wat on the next day! Sunrise at Angkor Wat! How to not be excited about it? =D
