Siem Reap has proved itself time and time again to become one of the most beloved resort towns in Cambodia, with a selection of diverse activities and experiences for its visitors. Here’s what your vacation in Siem Reap as a first-timer would offer.
Best Time for a Visit
As with any tourist destination, Siem Reap too has its good days and bad days… in terms of weather conditions. Therefore, it is advisable to be mindful of the weather conditions of the area before placing a booking at a boutique hotel in Siem Reap. The ideal season for a visit to Anantara Angkor Resort would be during the dry season, between November and April. However, keep in mind that the month of December is guaranteed to be brimming with tourists, especially at religious sites.
Exciting Activities
Excitement is in the air for any visitor to Siem Reap. With a bundle of spine-tingling tours and activities, your visit will be nothing short of an adventure. Travellers will have the opportunity to capture the most glorifying images of sunrises from the Angkor Temple, set off on bike or Vespa tours, dine and party at pub street, shop for souvenirs and visit the Cambodian Circus (Phare Ponleu Selpak).
Picture Perfect Sites
Siem Reap’s famed reputation for its temples is a reflection of Cambodia’s devotion to its faith. Some of the most eye-catching temples are Ta Phrom, which was also a filming site for the blockbuster movie Tomb Raider; Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world; Angkor Thom and Bayon Temple; Banteay Srei; Ta Keo; and Phnom Bakheng.
Dining Expeditions
Dining may not be at the forefront of Siem Reap, as the town’s significance heavily lies in its historical, religious and cultural aspects. However, fine dining is still available and you may choose any restaurant or cafe to satiate your hunger pangs, following a long day’s visits. The restaurants are packed with both local and international cuisine, with choices for all palates.
