Siem Reap & Angkor
The temple complex of Angkor is the largest religious monument ever built — a 401km² city of Khmer civilization at its 12th-century peak, with Angkor Wat as the centerpiece, Ta Prohm's tree-strangled ruins as the most atmospheric, and Bayon's 200 serene faces watching from every direction. Siem Reap is the gateway, a charming town with excellent food and a growing arts scene.

Where to Stay
HI Siem Reap Hostel
What guests say
“Best hostel in Siem Reap for the Angkor experience — bike rentals, early morning sunrise transport to Angkor Wat, and very good social atmosphere.”
“The 3-day Angkor pass organized from here was excellent value. Clean, social, and the temple route advice is exactly what first-time visitors need.”
Shinta Mani Wild
What guests say
“The most extraordinary eco-resort in Southeast Asia — luxury tent camps in the Cardamom Mountains accessible by zipline. Extraordinary combination of jungle and luxury.”
“Shinta Mani Wild is genuinely world-class — the zipline arrival, the riverside tents, and the extraordinary food in deep jungle is an experience unlike any other in Asia.”
Amansara Siem Reap
What guests say
“Aman has built the perfect Angkor retreat — a converted royal guesthouse with pool suites, private temple access at dawn, and the finest Khmer cuisine I have eaten.”
“Amansara provides early morning private Angkor access while the temples are empty. This alone justifies the extraordinary rate. The rest is simply perfect.”

- ✓Ta Prohm is equally beautiful at 2pm when tour groups are elsewhere
- ✓Hire an English-speaking tuk-tuk driver for the 3 days — they know the temple schedules and crowds
- ✓Banteay Srei (35km away) is worth the journey — the finest Khmer stone carving in existence
