By right, we are supposed to visit Wat Bo before relaxing at the Butterflies Garden Restaurant. However, due to the extremely hot weather, we decide to make the restaurant our next stop. According to the guide book, we are supposed to see butterflies flutter in the garden while we enjoy our food and drinks.
Our first Angkor beer and many to come in the days we are there. When we get in, there are no butterflies. Instead a few children carrying cages of butterflies sit in a row in front of us. I guess they want us to pay them to release the butterflies. Well at that point in time, we were not keen on butterflies but a cold beer and some food. We had our breakfast at Changi Airport at 5.15am. So at about 11.30am, we are starving. 
We ordered a bottle of beer, fish and chips and 2 chicken wings that cost us about US$13 in total. Expensive... But at the time, our pockets are full and no one blink an eye when paying.
Finally we are ready to set off to Wat Bo. We do a back track to see Wat Bo. Can't wait to finish visiting this temple and get away from the heat once more.
After Wat Bo, we are on our way to Pasar Chaa when we discover Blue Pumpkin which is recommended by Xiulan's (my cousin) friend. It's just about 2 hours from our finger food at Butterflies Garden Restaurant and we decide to once again escape the heat and laze in the aircon cafe in the shopping centre. We order some deserts and drinks to cool ourselves down.
At Pasar Chaa, we set off to our first day of shopping, knowing that we won't have much shopping time in the days to come. Shopping here needs some bargaining skills. Usually prices can be slashed up to 40%. Don't jump into buying from one store first. Look around. We discover that there are sisters who ran different stores, some are relatives. So they help each other to look after the stores when the other person is not in. However after bargaining to the price that you want, please buy. Don't bargain for fun.
