The body scrub and back mask helped to have a full back exfoliation and a deep cleansing effect, while the back massage served to ease off those tensed back muscles. Lastly, the whole session was finished off with a nice milk and flower bath with fruits and teas served for you to enjoy while soaking in the nice jacuzzi tub.
The whole experience was quite nice, with the therapists giving me a very smoothing and nice massage with just the right amount of pressure applied. I almost fell asleep during the massage as It was just too comfortable.
Overall, I would say that the package was nice, though it was a bit costly. But, there are always special promotions for usage of certain credit cards and you can check out the website for the updated promotion details.

Next, the sound system ain't that superb either and the image projected on one of the big screens was actually laterally inverted!! It was simply a huge turn-off for me.
And similar to what Yebber Do, the only good thing for me was that Eason Chan gave a good performance that night, which was sort of a consolation for all the rest of the disappointments..

Next, the number of counters there are always efficient and though the queue may be long, you won't find yourself standing there like ages. Thirdly, as what Leenie Pigs have mentioned, we do not need to walk through the back staircase in order to get back to the shopping mall. That really dampens the mood after watching a good movie, when you find yourself wasting time going around just to get back into the mall.
In addition, there are seats catered just for a couple whereby you can have some privacy of sorts. These seats are situated at the last row , Row J. This is ideal for me as I dislike people coming in late and walking in front of me even though the show has yet to start and the leg room, as mentioned previously is quite spacious. So normally, I would book the tickets online to ensure that I get those seats before I make my way down. And really its best to book online to ensure that you get to watch your desired show..

I was staying put at a friend's residence during my stay there. Over there, the main modes of transport were either motorcycles, tut-tuks, car or by foot. There is no public transport available as almost everyone was owning a motorcycle, which could double up as their tool for fetching tourists or locals around for a mere dollar USD. The tut-tuks would usually cost two USD but you can always try bargaining down to one USD most of the time. However, I chose to walk around mostly on foot so that I can see more although the heat was really scorching.
There are also many places of interest that I had gone to and they are namely the Royal Palace, Phsar Thom Thmei, the Silver Pagoda, the National Museum, Independence Monument (Khmer: Vimean Akareach), the Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Monument, the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, and Wat Phnom.
Amongst them the most memorable one was perhaps the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. This was a former high school which was used as the notorious Security Prison 21 (S-21) concentration camp by the Khmer Rouge regime from its rise to power in 1975 to its fall in 1979 is one of the city's most moving landmarks. In there, you can see the living cells of the prisoners held there in the past, the kind of tools that were used to torture the prisoners. Also, all the pictures of the prisoners held there were displayed in several room and you could really feel a rush of sadness at that moment for the prisoners, some whom were just kids and were subjected to the most cruel form of torture you could not have imagined.
from this trip, I got to know more about Phnom Penh and experience a whole new different culture. It was truly enriching and I strongly recommend you guys and gals to go there and experience it for yourselves.

Siem Reap is truly a place which is rich in culture and history. It houses the most famous " Ang Kor Wat", which used to be the castle for the ancient kings. It is a magnificient sight to behold and to gain access to the top of the castle, you need to climb up almost 30m or equivalent to around 7-8 storeys high of steps. There are also many historical artifacts and statues, which are in the process of being reconstructed so that the Ang Kor Wat can be seen in its full entirety again.
Upon getting to the top, you can see the vast view of Ang Kor Wat. In there, there are Buddha statues for both locals and tourists to pray. In addition, on the walls of Ang Kor Wat, you can find the history of Cambodia and how the legends of gods and goddess, good vs evil were being told.
A one day pass to visit the temples will cost US$20. If you are just going for the experience, a one day pass is enough. If your interest is look at all the temples, a 3 day pass will be enough. Your taxi or tu-tu drive will stop at the ticketing booth and you can buy your pass there. It is a small price to pay in exchange for the experience you get in return. No amount of words can truly describe that feeling until you have experienced it for yourself.
There is also a Killing Fields in Siem Reap, which is a much smaller version than that in the capital (Phnom Penh). The one at Siem Reap has a semi-glass tower where the skulls of those who were killed during the Khmer Rouge regime are being placed to rest.
The following are some tips that one can take note when planning for your trip to Siem Reap.
1. Wear comfortable shoes if you are climbing Angkor Wat. The steps are steep.
2. Wear sunscreen. The sun is merciless and they have a 13 hour day.
3. If you have a weak stomach, avoid eating from the roadside stalls, and drinking water with ice. Leave that to the last day when it doesn't really matter.
4. Bring smaller USD notes, such USD$1 and USD$5. Don't bother changing riels (cambodian currency). The locals use USD too, and only use riels mainly for change smaller than USD$1.
5. It is worthwhile to hire an English guide if you are travelling to see the temples. You're contributing to tourism dollars, and also the guide would explain many things that would help you understand what you are seeing.
6. Cambodians sleep early, and rise early. They usually go to bed from 9pm onwards, and rise before 5am. They consider it bad luck and also a trait of laziness to rise late. So if you are up to it, you could also wake up early to catch some sights at the local markets.
7. If you are approached by little children to buy some counterfeit books, and would like to, remember to check the pages inside.
8. "Thank you" is "or kun".
9. There is really nothing to shop in Cambodia, you're better off doing the bulk of you shopping in Vietnam or Bangkok. So, don't make Cambodia your last leg in Asia.
10. Ask your guide to bring you to some Khmer restaurants that the locals go to (and which are clean).
