The Temples of Angkor Regions Guide - attractions

Siem Reap
Siem Reap is about the exact opposite of Angkor. New money seeps from it through luxury hotels, new cars, and western style bars. There are many guesthouses and restaurants but nothing has much character. All modes of transport arrive to Siem Reap; an airport lands planes from all over South East Asia, a ferry from Phnom Phen, or, most commonly, busses. A terrible road leads to Siem Reap from the Thai border but a 6 hour stretch from Phnom Phen is easy riding. Coercion from bus guides to stay in their associated hotels is common but finding available accommodation elsewhere is usually easy. There is little reason to stay in the city if not visiting Angkor.
