#cambodiatrip Siem Reap is one of Cambodia’s most visited cities, famous for being the gateway to Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beyond its majestic temples, Siem Reap offers vibrant markets, rich cultural heritage, and lively nightlife, making it both a spiritual and entertaining destination. The city is easily accessible, you can fly directly into Siem Reap International Airport or take a night bus from Phnom Penh, the capital. Day 1 – Discover Siem Reap & Tonlé Sap Morning: Start your day exploring Siem Reap’s Old Market (Psar Chas), where you’ll find local street food, fresh produce, spices, and souvenirs. It’s the perfect place to try Cambodian flavours like amok (fish curry) or grilled skewers. Visit Theam’s Gallery, a peaceful art space and garden showcasing Buddhist statues, traditional crafts, and sculptures. After exploring, enjoy a coffee break at their charming in-house café. Afternoon: Join a tour to Kompong Phluk Floating Village on Tonlé Sap Lake, the largest body of water in Cambodia. Learn how locals adapt their lives to the water, explore stilt houses, and experience the tranquillity of the lake. Stay until evening to enjoy the sunset over Tonlé Sap, a truly unforgettable sight. Evening: Head to Pub Street, Siem Reap’s nightlife hub, for a cold beer or a relaxed dinner. Alternatively, take a quiet evening stroll around the city centre to soak in the atmosphere. Day 2 – Explore Angkor Wat & Temples Early Morning: Arrange a tuk-tuk (remember to negotiate fairly, it’s their livelihood) and head to Angkor Wat before sunrise. Watching the sun rise from behind the temple’s silhouette is one of the most magical experiences in Southeast Asia. Daytime Exploration: Spend the day exploring the Angkor Archaeological Park: Angkor Wat – the crown jewel of Khmer architecture. Ta Prohm – famous for its massive tree roots wrapping around ancient ruins. Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom – known for its serene stone faces. Carry water and pace yourself, as the temple complex is vast and the weather hot. Evening: After a long day, unwind at the Night Market, where you can shop for handicrafts, souvenirs, and enjoy casual street food. Day 3 – Phnom Kulen National Park Daytime: Take a day trip to Phnom Kulen Mountain, a sacred site for Cambodians. Highlights include: Phnom Kulen Pagoda with its reclining Buddha. The famous waterfall, where you can take a refreshing swim. If possible, book a tour that includes meals so you can enjoy local cuisine surrounded by nature. Evening: Spend your final evening relaxing along the Siem Reap River, hopping between cosy bars or simply people-watching. Practical Tips for Siem Reap Clothing: Wear light, breathable clothes as it’s very hot and humid. Carry sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water. Respect: When visiting temples, cover shoulders and knees as a sign of respect. Transport: Tuk-tuks are the best way to get around — negotiate in advance but remember drivers rely on tourism to support their families. Timing: For Angkor Wat, arrive before sunrise for the best experience.
