Creator's Key Takeaways

First time in Asia that we've had this uh plethora of attacks from people selling tours, trips, taxi drive, taxi drivers, bus tours.

If you're not used to it, it could be a bit overwhelming, but just say no, be polite, and everybody's absolutely fine.

This is the first port of call where the cruise line have advised you not to drink anything or eat anything off the ship.

All these intricate lurkings temple. This ornate carving must take so much time and effort.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Say no politely to persistent taxi drivers and tour sellers.
โœ“Avoid eating or drinking off the ship due to food hygiene concerns.
โœ“Be prepared for hot and sticky weather when exploring.
