Service Available: My Activities
Tour Guide Service: Cambodia is currently attracting more visitors to see the cultural sites. Some visitors like to do the tour by their own while others like to be accompanied the tour guides as they feel that the sites as well as the temples, full of mystery, are huge. Or for another reason is because they want to have good spots taking pictures as the tour guide is like the spirit of the sites. For those reasons, they decide to get a guide to take and tell them the story of each temples as well as other things they like to know. Languages Available: 11 languages are spoken here such as English, Italian, French, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, and German. If you are interested in one of the languages mentioned, please mail me and ask for your interest.

Special Services: Tour Guiding, Translator and Interpreter for TV Crew or Fieldwork, Journalist and others.Tour guidingI am a licensed and accredited English, Spanish and Khmer speaking tour guide. Only licensed and accredited tour guides are allowed by the authorities to guide visitors within the temples, and we can be identified at Angkor by our distinctive yellow coloured shirts. Tour guides are responsible for ensuring the success and enjoyment of every aspect of your tour. As an expert on the temples and archaeology of Angkor, I can fill you in on the rich history of the temples and tell you everything you need to know about Cambodian culture and society, past and present. As a tour guide I will take you through the temples personally, explain the meaning of the carvings and inscriptions on the walls, and teach you about the amazing architectural forms of the temples and what they all represent. We can take one of the standard itineraries of Angkor which includes all of the well-known temples, or I can design one specifically to suit you. I have worked for many years on archaeological projects and can provide unique insights into the nature of the archaeological landscape at Angkor, including the water management system, the ways in which people lived within and beyond the temples, and up-to-date theories and research about Angkor which haven't made their way into any of the guidebooks yet. There are plenty of activities in Siem Reap beyond visiting temples, such as tours in helicopters, joyrides in an ultralight plane, horse-riding, visiting the floating villages, and visiting organization which contribute to the development of Cambodia. I can organize any of these things. I can also arrange for shopping and souvenirs if you want, and accommodate special requests for visiting local communities, watching rice harvesting in action, making 'behind-the-scenes' visits to craft workshops, and take you around to the various museums in the Siem Reap area. The best thing is for you to contact me directly so we can discuss exactly what it is you're interested in, and we can take it from there.Driver ServicesIf you prefer to take things independently, for example using guidebooks instead of a tour guide, that's fine too -- I am happy to work for you as a driver. This involves transportation to and from your destination, as well as advice on where to go and where to find what you're interested in seeing and doing, but does not involve detailed tours or explanations of the temples themselves. This is an option for those who want to take things at their own pace and in their own style. Specialist ServicesI have worked as a field assistant and translator for a range of different, worthwhile projects in the humanities and social sciences for Australian and American teams in Cambodia. I have references from these organizations which I can provide on request. Please contact me to discuss whatever your requirements might be, from single-day opportunities to longer-term contracts for field research. AvailabilityTo ensure availability please contact me as far in advance as possible -- I still work very closely with archaeological teams at Angkor so it helps to catch me before my schedule becomes too busy. If I am not available, I could help you with finding a well-qualified colleague.
