City Guide Siem Reap, Cambodia

A dusty city

Once you get into the Poipet where is the Cambodian border, you will have experience with the dust which may make you sick such as coughing in 4 days. This city is famous with the Anchor WHAT? the admission ticket is quite expensive US$20 for single entry. Tourists/ travelers are not necessary to purchase 3 days visit ticket because you can visit the place in one day using push bike or bicycle from your guesthouse or accommodation. The prices of foods/ accommodations/ massages are cheaper.

Insider Tip:Plan you trip before you come to Siem Reap and leave the city as soon as possible before you get sick from the city atmosphere. You can visit Anchor Wat early in the morning, ask your accommodation where you can purchase the admission ticket otherwise the gate attendants of the Angkor Wat will ask you to go around to the ticket office where is located 2 Kms, despite it is only 500 meter from the gate entrance/ exit.

“Amazing trip to Kulen Mountain”

We had a Great Day, driving on 125cc bikes from Siem reap to Kulen Mountain. We had an amazing ride through the countryside and a quite exhausting trip through the jungle to the top of kulen mountain. there we visited a place deep in the jungle which you can only reach by motorbike. It is basically the place where 1200 years ago the Angkor time started. we could see a huge stone elefant and some stone lions which are 1200 years later still in a pretty good shape. The whole place is quite unknown

I love Siem Reap, Angkor Wat.

A cluster of villages along the river of the same name, Northern Cambodia's Siem Reap (which means "Siam Defeated") is a gateway to Angkor Archaeological Park. The impressive park is home to the Khmer temple ruins of Angkor Wat. Visit the Old French Quarter, with its Chinese-inspired architecture, the Tonle Sap lake bird sanctuary, rice paddies and the Old Market's craft shops and silk farms. Most sights can be explored on foot or by hiring a "motodop," a motorbike taxi and driver.

Insider Tip:I used to come to Cambodia many times already. However,it is the first time i get across this lovely restaurant. The food was nice with lovely drink available whole day. Amok and Curry...Oh..much nicer than other place i have tried. The first time you arrive there, you would love this place already with a warmly welcome staffs. They will bring you a cold towel and a complementary peanut. That such a the best thing ever with 50 cent draft beer. I would love to recommend it to all my friend who will come t

Siem Reap

Siem Reap City is much more touristy than the rest of Cambodia, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. It has all the things a tourist really needs, but it has a lot of tourists. Famous sites are pretty crowded and there are enough people on the streets trying to depart the friendly tourist with his or her money. That being said, it is an experience that can't be missed. Cambodians are generally friendly even though there are a lot of rude tuk-tuk drivers and many beggars around Pub Street. Most

Insider Tip:If coming into Cambodia by land, be careful for scams with taxis. Most likely upon arrival to Siem Reap outskirts your taxi will turn down an ally and pull up to a bunch of tuk-tuk drivers. This is almost certain to happen. To prevent this, talk to the driver BEFORE you get into the taxi and tell him you want to be taken to your hotel. Agree that you will be taken to your hotel and not to a bunch of tuk-tuk drivers. Tell him if he takes care of you, you'll take care of him. If he does actually take you t

A must if in Cambodia!

We only spent a couple of days in Siem Reap, but you could easily stay for a week or more and still not manage to see anything. The main attraction, obviously, is the Angkor temple complex, which is amazing, although some of the temples were incredibly busy and thronged with other tourists. However, if in Cambodia this is one site (or numerous, actually) that you can't miss. The town of Siem Reap itself is also a nice place to hang out for a while. Because the vast majority of visitors to the Angkor comp

Insider Tip:If you head to the night markets just as the stalls are beginning to close, you're likely to get the best prices as the shopkeepers try to make one final sale before they shut. Please don't hand out sweets and other gifts to the street children. I saw other tourists doing this and it makes me so angry because a) it creates a culture of begging, making it even less likely that the children will go to school, b) often the children are sent out begging by an adult, who will take everything they manage to ge
