WHY GO

Siem Reap (pronounced see-em ree-ep) is a fast-developing town just north of the western extent of the Tonlé Sap river. The name Siem Reap means 'Siamese Defeated.' Most people are in Siem Reap to see Angkor. Yet, even if Siem Reap were not the nearest town to Angkor, it would probably still be worth a short visit. There's a sleepy, rural quality to the place, which coupled with a good range of accommodation and several fine restaurants make it a great place to unwind for a few days.
