  • Siem Reap, Cambodia Destination Guide
    Siem Reap, Cambodia Destination Guide Overview of Siem Reap Siem Reap lies on the northern shores of the Tonle Sap Lake. It's the main access city for Angkor's magnificent temples, and a popular launching pad for further travel into Cambodia and Thailand. Not just a headquarters for exploring neighbouring regions, it also boasts popular markets, craft shops, museums and Apsara dance performances. The Temple of Angkor Wat is Siem Reap's most famous feature. Situated just outside the city centre, the UNESCO World Heritage Site dates from the 12th century and is the largest religious monument in the world. Within the city, the Angkor National Museum provides a useful cultural and historical background for the Angkor Temples and the ancient Khmer civilisation. The Aki Ra Landmine Museum is also worthwhile as it gives tourists an understanding of the ongoing war Cambodia is still fighting against these buried weapons. Siem Reap has budget- and luxury guesthouses, and a host of fun bars and excellent restaurants. With so much in the way of amenities and attractions, the city is a great base from which to venture into other parts of this fascinating country. Visitors will find silk farms, rice paddies and fishing villages in the surrounding countryside, as well as a bird sanctuary near Tonle Sap Lake - one of Asia's largest freshwater lakes. The area is home to charming villages on stilts, built to accommodate monsoon flooding. Key Facts Language: Khmer is the official language. French is also spoken, but English is fast becoming popular with the younger generation.

  • Siem Reap, Cambodia
    Siem Reap, Cambodia Siem Reap is a natural and cultural wonderland Located in the Northwest province of Cambodia, Siem Reap is a natural and cultural wonderland that mesmerizes thousands of tourists each year. It has beautiful green landscapes, beautiful flora and fauna, rustic villages, and stunning ruins of an empire long gone. However, don’t visit the city expecting a sleepy town waiting to be discovered. Siem Reap is a proper tourist destination with stylish hotels, numerous shopping plazas,top-of-the-line dining options and more. Attractions in Siem Reap Angkor Wat: There are only few places in the world that will leave you as spellbound as Angkor Wat. Built back in the 12th Century, Angkor Wat is the top tourist attraction in all of Cambodia and it is easy to see why. The massive complex has some of the best preserved examples of Southeast Asian Khmer architecture whose symmetry is absolutely unbelievable. Towards the latter half of the 12 th Century, the complex was transformed from a Hindu place of worship into a Buddhist place of worship which it still is. The entire complex is surrounded by a wide moat that takes its majesty a notch higher. Angkor Thom: While Angkor Wat may be the most popular tourist destination in Cambodia, Angkor Thom isn’t too far behind. While the former was a temple, the latter is an entire complex with formidable walls and a deep moat to ward off attacks. The highlights of the entire structure are the gate towers that have giant carved faces on each side that look out over the landscape.

Cambodia, Kampuchea, officially known as the Kingdom of Cambodia and once known as the Khmer Empire, is a country located in the southern portion of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. Its total landmass is 181,035 square kilometers (69,898 sq mi), bordered by Thailand to the northwest, Laos to the northeast, Vietnam to the east, and the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest. Tour Highlights Phnom Penh: It is a capital of Cambodia. There are many tourist sites to visit such as the Royal Palace, the silver Pagoda, the National Museum and Wat Phnom, there are several markets selling silk, silver, gems and antiques. Also worthwhile is a visit to the notorious "Killing Fields" and Toul Sleng Museum, which chronicle the years under the rule of the Khmer Rouge. Siem Reap: The name Siem Reap literally means "Siam Defeated". These days, however, the only rampaging hordes are the tourists heading to the Angkor Archaeological Park. This once quaint village has become the largest boom town and construction site in Cambodia. It's quite laid-back and a pleasant place to stay while touring the temples and a nice compromise between observing Cambodian life and enjoying the amenities of modern services and entertainment, thanks to a large expatriate community.
