Joum Reap Sour! Hello everyone!

Welcome to Cambodia, Kingdom of Wonder and the world heritage. Let me introduce myself, my name is Samnang Pok and my nickname is Sam, I am a professional Tour Guide base in Siem Reap Angkor, Cambodia. I have been guiding travelers throughout Angkor complexes and all over Cambodia. I was born in Siem Reap Province in 1969 as the third child of the fourth children from countryside family. I was separated from my parents when I was 6 years old after Khmer Rouge evacuated the people from my home village in 1975, since then I've never met my parents again till today. I have 3 siblings – one brother and 2 sisters. Fortunately, we are all survived from this nightmare. In 1983 I took refuge to live in the Refugee Camp in Thailand during the Civil War which happened in Cambodia between, 1979 to 1992. In 1991 I graduated High School and continued to the college for almost a year. In 1992, after the peace talk I had moved to live in Siem Reap province where my home town and found my first job as a tourist guide in 1993. I graduated the first Promotion Tourist Guide Training Programs, managed by the Ministry of Tourism and UNESCO in 1994 and then officially, have been working in this profession till today. I have entered many short Courses of Training Programs to update the new information for my profession that held by Ministry of Tourism and Apsara Authority. I really love this job of sharing my beautiful country and culture to the travelers. I married in 1994 and had four children – three daughters and a son. Now I have my own family and have a better living standard after I went through my tough life experiences without parents for 25 years.
