#1: Take a swig of the local Angkor beer. In fact, have it for every meal. It's so darn cheap at US$3 for a big bottle.
#2: Visit Angkor Wat during sunrise and sunset and take lots of pretty photos for keeps!
#3: Stay at the FCC Angkor and order breakfast via room service. It's free!
#4: Indulge yourself with an oil massage at Bodia (recommended!) or go for a US$6 foot reflexology session (the duration is 1 hour and they will even throw in a hand and shoulder massage for you).
#5: Have dinner at one of the fancy restaurants on Pub Street. KamaSutra is highly recommended if you're in the mood for Indian cuisine!
#6: Visit the Psar Char (Old Market). If you're getting some Ruby / Sapphire stones for your Mom at home, you MUST haggle, no matter how "auntie" it sounds. The sellers start off with a cut-throat price of US$35 but are willing to dip to as low as US$6 for a pendant.
#7: Buy an original Lonely Planet - Cambodia for US$3 from one of the kids touting outside the temples. Or if you're that cheepo, a pirated version (photocopied) is available at US$1, but I will NOT recommend this.
#8: Take the Tuk Tuk wherever you go. It's cheap, fun and allows you to see more! Of course, this experience includes dust and sand blowing into your face occasionally :)
#9: Check out the eclectic Dead Fish Tower. Have a snack and chill out to some cool jazzy tunes. While you are there, say Hi to the resident crocodile in the back of the restaurant.
#10: Get a 3-day pass to see the Angkor temples @ US$40 and spread out your time evenly. A 1-day pass costs US$20 but it's impossible to cram everything into 1 day. Anything more than 3 days might be an overkill.
