 Holidays to Siem Reap & the Temples of Angkor |
|

|
|
A
few days in Siem Reap will give you time to explore one of
South East Asia's most impressive sights - the ancient city
of Angkor. This massive complex was, at one time, one of the
most important cities in the world, and today, the scale of
the ruins shows why. It's an awe inspiring place spread out
over a wide area, with temples in various states of disrepair,
giving an amazing sense of what once was. |

|
The
highlight of any visit is the renowned complex of Angkor Wat,
but there's a great deal more besides. We'd suggest spending
three days in the area, allowing you to take in the main Angkor
Complex, taking in Angkor Thom and the Bayon, the Elephant Terrace
and, of course, magnificent Angkor Wat itself. You'll also be
able to visit some of the more remote sites, including Pre Rup,
Bantey Kdei and the mystical Ta Prohm. |

Siem
Reap itself is a friendly town with a good range of hotels and
plenty of places to try traditional Khmer food. The local market
is an interesting place to wander, with local produce on sale.
Although Siem Reap is growing quickly, it remains an easy-going,
charming town. Hotel options are good and improving, with some
excellent hotels now available. Those towards the north end
of the town offer easier access to the Temples, while those
closer to the market area are handy for exploring the town itself. |

It's
possible to combine a visit to Siem Reap with time elsewhere
in Cambodia and Indochina, or in the Far East generally. All
Thai beach resorts can be combined with our Indochina itineraries,
as can Singapore or Malaysia - we'd be delighted to put together
your ideal itinerary if it's not shown here - just ask! |
|
Siem Reap has
regular connections to various other parts of the Far East,
with Bangkok acting as the main gateway, about an hour's flight
away. There are onward connections to Phnom Penh and other parts
of Indochina and the Far East. |
