Angkor Archaeological Park - Angkor Thom - Remote Angkor Temples - Tonle Sap Lake
Angkor Wat brings the tourists to Cambodia and Siem Reap, but most visitors quickly realize that there is a lot more to see and either extend their trips, or start planning their next trip before the first one is even finished. The Tonle Sap 'floating village' Lake is also an experience that can never be described adequately in words, or even pictures. More than once has a visitor who initially did not even want to go on a 'boat ride', end up telling me it was the highlight of their visit to Cambodia.

Siem Reap Town - Hotels & Resorts - Guest Houses - Travel & Tours - Restaurants - Bars & Nightclubs
No longer a dusty small town at the edge of the jungle, Siem Reap is now a lively resort that has become a destination all on its own. Numerous five star hotels and resorts with spas and golf courses are bringing a growing crowd of well heeled tourists from Asian nations and around the world. Boutiques, art galleries, handicrafts centers, and a large number of international and Asian cuisine restaurants are keeping everyone entertained and well fed, when not trekking through the temples.
