The City of Angkor
Siem Reap
Usually, I would recommend at spending at least 3 days there and ideally aim for a week.
My favorite temples are Angkor Wat, Banteay Srei, Ta Promh, Bayon (Angkor Thom), Elephant Terrace.
What I love to do is rent a bike and do some early morning or late afternoon biking, this is very pleasant but watch the timing - it may get rainy and too hot – don’t underestimate the heat – don’t get a heat stroke!
At night, visit the night market, check out the art galleries.
Go to FCC’s happy hour, visit the photo galleries.
