land of god
Not so long ago, the town of Siem Reap was a
village set among the fields of the northwest.
It is now booming, owing no small part to the
temples of Angkor. These merit at least a full
day’s trip and often longer.
A day-trip will
take you to the famous temples, such as majestic
Angkor Wat, jungle-covered Ta Prohm, and the
city of Angkor Thom. Spending more time means
seeing more.
Siem Reap is also a
good place to make your base for sites further
away, such as the ancient forest-surrounded
temples of Boeung Melea or the floating villages
on Tonle Sap Lake. Siem Reap caters to
international tourists and you can play golf,
swim, get a massage, or even go horseback
riding. |

There are a
large number of temples in varying states of
repair both close by and remote. Siem Reap
also has other attractions, such as shopping
in the Old Market, visiting the sculpture
workshops and silk farms of Artisans
d’Angkor, the Cambodian Cultural Village,
and the numerous museums, such as the Land
Mine Museum and the new Angkor National
Museum. You can even take a balloon ride or
a helicopter trip over Angkor!
There is even a street
in the center of town, which is now informally known as Pub Street
because of its many bars and restaurants. Take your pick and be assured
that you are bound to have a great meal, a great drink, and a great end
to the day. When night falls, there are hoards of places to eat and
drink, from Cambodian barbecue and soup to cuisines from many different
countries. |
