Siem Reap Introduction

Siem Reap (meaning ‘Victory over Siam’) in northwest Cambodia is primarily the gateway to the famous Temples of Angkor.

The town has changed dramatically over the past twenty years. Not too long ago a sleepy backwater, Siem Reap now has large five-star hotels and resorts, fine-dining options aplenty, and the kind of good services, shops, galleries, and spas, that make the little city a new oasis of luxury.

The town has grown exponentially, but Siem Reap retains some of its charm, especially around Phsar Chas (Old Market) and in the French Quarter.
