Siem Reap Since the turn of the century, Siem Reap has reinvented itself to become one of the hottest holiday destinations in Southeast Asia. Formerly a quiet provincial town, the city is now a thriving tourist mecca with lavish hotels and top-notch dining options. While a key draw card is its proximity to the world-famous temples of Angkor, these historic temples are only the beginning of Siem Reap’s appeal.
THINGS TO KNOW: Lingo to know: “Where can I purchase silk products?” Translation: “Tôi có thể mua các sản phẩm làm từ lụa ở đâu?”
Local Tips: • Take a free guided tour of the Angkor Silk Farm. After the tour, you can purchase high-quality silk garments from the very workshops you just visited. • Consider cycling to some of Siem Reap’s closer temples. Flat roads, minimal traffic and reasonable tree cover ensure a scenic but manageable journey. • Some of Siem Reap’s newest and hottest restaurants can be found on Wat Bo Road, east of the river.
What to Pack: Your walking shoes.
