    Just wondering if any of the regular Phuket readers have done a trail bike jungle tour around Angkor Wat area in Cambodia. I'm planning on being there around the first week of June for a few weeks. Any suggestions would be appreciated. This company has been recommended to me:

    The prices are reasonable from what I've seen so far. Bear in mind that there are millions of unexploded land-mines still there so doing it on your own is not such a great option!

    Just got off the phone to a good mate who lived there for quite a few years,married a local lass & goes back all the time to visit family.

    His personal recommendation is www.dancingroads.com run by Pheng & Sonja.

    Bikes are 2 stroke & 4 up to 600cc.Pheng does all the work on the bikes & goes with you.

    As far as your bike tour goes my mate has said Bokor Mountain = Must See

    He rode up there years ago,there's a french style hotel at the top(France had an influence there & Vietnam in the early 1900's)

    Spent the night drinking with ex Khmer Rouge soldiers who are now Park Rangers.

    Krapie = Irrawaddy River Dolphins

    Also recommends a 3 day Temple Tour as opposed to 1 day & go see Banh Bantrey Frey Temple (female fertility temple).

    Hope this info helps.
