Travel day. We checked out of Anantara Angkor and headed up to Phnom Penh. We hired a private driver. This was a convenient and much better way to go. I think the actual drive from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh takes about 5 hours. But since we had our own driver, we could make detours. One stop was the Preah Tis Bridge. It's one of the few Khmer empire era bridges to haved survived to the modern day. Another stop was at the Sambor Prei Kuk temples. They were out of the way, but still interesting. A few stops and hours later, we arrived in Phnom Penh.
The difference between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh is huge. Traffic is crazy. (Stop signs are more of a suggestion than a rule.) A lot more buildings packed together. We were staying at the Patio Hotel & Urban Resort. Although it is in an alley, it is a nice hotel. Excellent views from the restaurant and pool. Though if you have a fear of heights, you may not enjoy it as much.
