💡 Pro-Tips for Your Trip
* Silk Island Transport: Most people hire a Tuk-Tuk for the whole morning. The driver will take you to the ferry, cross with you, and show you the best weaving communities.
* Central Market (Phsar Thmey): Remember to haggle! Aim for about 30% off the initial asking price for clothes and souvenirs.
* Dress Code: When visiting the Royal Palace area or Tuol Sleng, ensure your shoulders and knees are covered out of respect.
* The Big Bus: The open-top "City Sightseeing" buses usually depart from near the Post Office or Night Market area. It’s a great way to see the "Statue of King Sihanouk" and the riverside without walking in the humid evening air.
⚠️ A Small Note on the Royal Palace
The Royal Palace itself usually closes its gates to visitors around 5:00 PM. Since you are visiting the "Park" at 5:00 PM, you will get beautiful photos of the exterior and the riverfront atmosphere, but if you want to go inside the Silver Pagoda, you should swap it with your afternoon rest time.
