Bangkok to Angkor Wat and back
While in Bangkok , four of us decided to also visit Angkor Wat in Cambodia. We made enquiries and received an immediate response from Sophoan Rath from the above company. We were picked up at the hotel in Bangkok , escorted through the border by Sophoan and taken to Siem Reap where he had reserved rooms for us for two nights. The next day we visited Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and other temples in the area. On the second day we were brought back to Bangkok airport and arrived there at precisely 4 pm, as we had requested.
Throughout the tour , Sophoan was extremely helpful, gave good descriptions of the historical significance of the sites , and overall was willing to alter the tour to suit our needs. By the end of the tour , we felt we had known each other for years.We would definitely recommend his services to anyone visiting Cambodia.

Cambodia Travel Trails
Our group of four travellers could not believe our good luck in our selection of a travel guide for our two days in Cambodia. Sophoan is a genuine ARGG (All round good guy). His personality is suited to his latest chosen profession. We could not fault his dealings with us. He made us feel very comfortable at all times and did not overlook the small things like the provision of cool water throughout the tours. We are all very happy to recommend Sophoan RATH of Cambodian Travel Trails to anyone contemplating either a tour of Cambodia or for short day tours.

Warmly Recommended
Sophoan was the perfect guide to the sights around Siem Reap, including Angkor Wat. Courteous, informative, helpful and friendly; yet also adaptable. He knows how to pace your day so as to avoid the largest crowds. Yet he never makes you feel like you "have" to visit somewhere if you're not feeling it (our two teenage sons have a low boredom threshold for temples, and Sophoan was great at balancing the varying cultural appetites of our family!). I'd warmly recommend him to guide anyone visiting the Siem Reap area of Cambodia.

Bei unserem ersten Besuch in Siem Reap und Angkor im Frühjahr 2009 hatte man uns Herrn Sophoan Rath, kurz Poan, als unseren individuellen Reiseführer zugeteilt.
Wir waren damals schnell von seinen Qualitäten als unser Führer durch die komplizierte Geschichte der Khmer-Reiche und durch die weitläufigen Tempelanlagen von Angkor überzeugt, die er uns lebendig und kenntnisreich nahe brachte.
Auch sein menschlich einnehmendes Wesen, seine unaufdringliche aber stets engagierte Art,uns als die ihm anvertrauten "Schützlinge" zu betreuen war uns ausnehmend symphatisch.
Es war daher keine Frage,wer unser "guide" bei unserem zweiten Besuch in Kambodscha in 2010 sein würde.
Poan holte uns vom Flughafen in Phnom Penh ab und zeigte uns diese Stadt in allen ihren Facetten - bevor wir mit ihm als unserem "guide and driver " auf dem Landweg nach Siem Reap aufbrachen.Die anschliessenden Tage dort waren angefüllt mit zahlreichen neuen Entdeckungen und Erlebnissen - zumeist abseits der großen Touristenströme.
Es folgten jeweils mehrtägige von Poan bestens organisierte und geführte Touren mit per SUV in 2011 nach Kampot und Kep, in 2012 nach Koh Kong und in die Kardamon Berge und schließlich in 2013 nach Mondulkiri und Sen Monorem.
Wir haben viele schöne Landschaften gesehen,zahlreiche liebenswerte Menschen getroffen und natürlich auch die einheimische Küche inklusive "fried spiders" probiert.
Aber auch die Schattenseiten des Landes ,seine grauenvolle Vergangenheit und die Probleme der Gegenwart blieben uns nicht verborgen.
An all dem hat Poan einen maßgablichen Anteil und wir verdanken ihm,dass wir
inzwischen Kambodscha wie nur wenige Touristen kennen und seine Menschen lieben gelernt haben.

Loved our tour!
Took a one day tour of the Angkor complex. Sophoan was a wonderful tour guide. English is excellent. Patient, reliable and catered to our needs exactly. It was great traveling in the small group of 3. We were able to figure out the best way to utilize our short time there. One of the best parts of having a local guide is hearing not only about the temples but about his background, the country's history, government, culture, etc. He read our interest level well- i.e. told us just enough about what we wanted to know regarding the temples without us being overloaded with information. Definitely recommend his services!
