Walking around Siem Reap and staying at a hotel with excellent location and great value for money

All of the shops featured in the photos are within a five-minute walk from the hotel. ✈️Itinerary We visited Siem Reap for three days and two nights. On Day 1, we arrived at Siem Reap Airport and enjoyed exploring the city. On Day 2, we joined a tour to watch the sunrise at Angkor Wat early in the morning and also visited temples such as Angkor Thom. The tour ended around 1:00 PM, so we spent the rest of the day at the hotel, getting a massage at the spa, drinking draft beer at a bar in front of the hotel, and getting our nails done for $10. I've heard that Siem Reap is compact and easy to get around, but I received higher-quality service at a lower price than I expected, so I think I could have stayed another night. 🏨Golden Temple Residence ⚫︎It's a five-minute walk to Pub Street, the center of town. The Old Market and Night Market are also within a similar distance. You don't even have to walk that far; just cross the street in front of the hotel and you'll find a plethora of popular restaurants where you can get draft beer for $0.50 and meals for $1. It's convenient, but it's just a little outside the city center, so it's not too noisy. This hotel truly has the best location. ⚫︎The rooms have high ceilings and large windows, creating an open feeling. The welcome drink and fruit service are also excellent. ⚫︎The hotel spa offers discounts exclusively for guests, including discounts for the second night onwards. You can get a hot stone massage for around $20, and the technique is excellent. ⚫︎The staff were truly hospitable, opening the breakfast restaurant a little earlier to accommodate our early morning flight. I spend more than 50 nights overseas each year, but it's been a while since I've stayed in a hotel that I wanted to return to again!

Ta Prohm Temple

🌅 Experience Sunrise Magic at Angkor Wat & Legendary Cafés in Siem Reap 🛕☕ Start your day early to catch the breathtaking sunrise at Angkor Wat—the temple’s silhouette rising against a misty sky is pure wonder. Head there by 5 AM for a prime viewing spot. After sunrise, explore the Angkor Wat complex and marvel at intricate carvings and vast corridors. Don’t forget to snap shots of the central towers; the reflective pool is the classic insta-worthy angle! Next, wander over to Ta Prohm Temple (07:30–17:30), where ancient trees embrace centuries-old ruins. The roots winding through crumbling walls make for mesmerizing photos—early morning or late afternoon light gives a dramatic vibe. Continue to the Hall of a Thousand Gods (CV68+XFR, 05:00–17:30), wandering among countless serene Buddhas in a quiet, sacred setting. Another must-stop: Bayon, with its famous enigmatic carved faces—smile back at them for a quirky travel snap! Detour out to Angkor Silk Farm (NR6, Puok), where you’ll witness traditional weaving and learn about silk production. It’s an interactive and colorful experience; the lush outdoor landscape offers tranquil photo spots with local trees and architecture. On your last day, spend time in a famed Cambodia café, soaking in local vibes, sipping aromatic coffee, and watching rainy clouds roll past. A perfect slow-travel moment to wrap up your adventure. 🌧️ Bring a raincoat if clouds threaten—Cambodian downpours can be sudden and fierce! Carry cash for temple tickets, and start early to avoid crowds and the midday heat. #SiemReap #AngkorWat #TempleHopping #CaféCulture #CambodiaTravel
