Visitors come here for the temples (thanks ‘Tomb Raider’!) but there is a lot more to see and do than you probably first thought. With an ancient history dating back to 802 AD, Siem Reap is fast becoming the backpacker epicenter of Southeast Asia with many things to do, easily accessible temples, accommodation that gives you more bang for your buck and really cheap food and drink options (‘Pub Street’ is always interesting to visit at night).
You may soon tire of the temple, but there are lots of other inexpensive day-trips to try as well, including heading to Kulen Mountain or visiting a fishing village, where all the homes and amenities are on large stilts and get fun with shooting range also shopping and city tour.
