Richard Shumway
Hello Srun. My name is Richard Shumway, and I’m contacting you on behalf of my Mother Zoa Shumway. She is currently on a birding tour with Michael Carmody in Vietnam, but will be visiting Siem Reap March 28. I would like to help set her up with a Guide to see the Angkor Temples and do some birding there. Michael Carmody recommended you. My wife and I have just returned from Angkor, and feel that the best arrangement for Zoa would be two early morning half-day visits. We did a full day, and by the afternoon, we were very tired and very hot. She’s in quite good shape, but she’s also 88 years old. Do you think that this could be arranged? Ideally, she’d be picked up at her hotel very early on both March 29 and 30 for a half day tour. Let me know if this can be arranged, and I’ll be in contact with her. Thanks, Richard Shumway
