Siem Reap Travel guide, Cambodia: Tourism Information

Siem Reap Travel guide, Cambodia. Tourism Information. Siem Reap is one of those places that caters to every taste. It's difficult to get bored in this ever-evolving city. The variety of cuisine, accommodation, shopping, modes of transport, and daily activities is quite astonishing for what is actually a relatively small and new city on the edge of the Tonle Sap lake. The central highlight is of course the Temples of Angkor most of which are just a short trip from the center of town. However, it would be a mistake to see Siem Reap as merely a bed for the night to allow for days at Angkor Wat. Whether it's enjoy sipping a coffee and people-watching in the town, taking a quad bike out into the countryside, or bargaining for silks and silver in the burgeoning markets, there are plenty of reasons to extend a stay after becoming "templed out". Beautiful desert-island beaches, jungle trekking in protected reserves, café-culture in a capital city full of complex historyand, of course, 1000-year old temples from one of the most impressive empires in world history: Cambodia certainly is the Kingdom of Wonder. Cambodia has blossomed into one of the key Asian destinations for luxury holiday-makers, backpackers and everyone in between. Nestled in between Thailand, Vietnam and Laos, this "watery Kingdom", as it was first described during the inception of the Khmer empire thousands of years ago, is well-connected on transport routes, has a wealth of attractions and is particularly easy to travel due to the relatively high level of English spoken in comparison to neighboring countries
