In a nutshell
Gateway to the Angkor temple complex
Angkor Wat - The Stonesand Carvings
akkipaa Says: The are a lot of sandstone carvings surrounding the first level of Angkor Wat. And I mean lot, the "painting" are is about 1 200 square meters telling stories about wars, living and the history of Angkor Wat. This is why you should book a guide or read a lot, because without...
akkipaa Says: Angkor Wat is a Temple in Angkor, Cambodia. It was build in the beginning of 12th century in in Yasodharapura (Angkor currently) and the builder was King Suryavarman II to act as capital of Khmer Empire. It's the largest in the area, it's the largest religious building in...
akkipaa Says: This temple is located just close to Siem Reap center, between Street 9 and New Street A. It is one of the oldest in Siem Reap, history stats something like 500 years ago. I keep admiring the colorful and complex statues and sculptures (photo 4) and very telling parts of...
Blind's school - Take a massage
akkipaa Says: The place is a school for blinds, a small disappointment, too gentle hands but the purpose is better than action, support school to educate blinds to normal working life.Take a tuktuk, you might get it for an hour massage from and to your hotel for 2-3$.
akkipaa Says: Two floors for your service and a lot of ladies with powers in the fingers. Foot massage places are in the 1st floor and other privacy needed in the second.Take a 5$ foot massage every time when passing by, very relaxing and takes about an hour. If you are busy take 30 mins,...

Ton Le Chaktomuk: Vietnamese and Khmer Buffee
akkipaa Says: If you are are hungry, like Khmer or Vietnamese food this is the right place to you. It's located close to National Museum, on to opposite side of the road, a little bit towards town.The restaurant is nice and the food is extremely good, but be warned, we Finns tend to eat...
Little Italy: Taste of Italy (only once)
akkipaa Says: Normally once in all our trips we take an Italian restaurant. Only once, you need some distance to Asian food, but really only once. MDs or KFC we don't visit unless it's an emergency situation (has happened only once in last 10 years, MDs was the only restaurant with warm...
Dead Fish Tower: Taste Indian (again and again)
akkipaa Says: We found this place when walking in the evening and following the locals (not a real challenge, it's close to Pub Street). The restaurant is like a combination street food stand and a normar restaurant. List is not a long but the food is delicious and if you are lucky you...
Mr Grill: Nice resto where the locals gather to eat
cochinjew Says: This place which is on the other side of the river in Siem Reap is frequented by people who live in Siem Reap, so you dont see the tourists here.ope air, great service and a variety of food all with local flavour we had a variety of dishes the photos are shown below

akkipaa Says: Hopefully this is not seen as an advertisement, but I really like Bangkok Airways. OK, this time the service was not OK (fligt was to Bangkok), lunch was not OK, and drinking car disappeared before serving us. But...Look the plane! The same flight continued from Bangkok to...
akkipaa Says: The airport of Siam Reap is very handy, it's a small and friendly with very fast tracks in immigration.The airport jas only a few gates, some shops with a lot of nice stuff in. What to buy? "We" bought a tin pill case (they are different size, round and ovals) and some wrist...
Night Market: Night time shopping
akkipaa Says: This market are is definitely must on your visit. Probably you don't buy anything, at least I didn't, if you have visited Phnom Penh market, you have already everything you need and I got an impression that prices are here higher and there not so much place for bargain.But...
Artisans Angkor: Airport - Souveniers
akkipaa Says: This is a very nice shop purchasing the last souvenirs or just something to your self. As normal, your 2-person group split the two parts, the other took jewelry and clothes an the other spices and drinks.You find Buddhas, other sculptures, clothes, bags, small things and...
theguardianangel Says: When you pass by the road, you’ll see the houses having similar structures. The houses are elevated and the base is supported by poles on each corner. Obviously, the houses are built on this way because of the tonle sap lake. The tonle sap lake is located in the center of...
Avoid Chong Kneas floating village - biggest trap
LeiaElizabeth Says: If you'd like to visit a floating village during your visit to Siem Reap, it is an interesting experience, but please avoid the Chong Kneas floating village. It is probably the biggest tourist trap in town. Not only is it a tourist trap, which I kind of expect in tourist...
Very hot weather...even in February
gina550 Says: Wear light clothing, hat, sunblock and don't forget to bring a pair of sunglasses. An extra shirt or 2 in your daypack won't hurt. You'll be sweating most of the time during the day (unless you're in an airconditioned room) but the weather improves after sundown. It is not...
theguardianangel Says: Get ready for road trips! backpack is the most convenient to use. wear light and comfy clothes. shirt, pants, rubber shoes are okay. I don't recommend wearing shorts since a lot of the attractions are temples, it's best to give them respect. alcohol, sanitizers, Kleenex,...

Portal for Angkor Temple Complex But Nice Itself
