One of the reasons I went to Siem Reap, was because of the Angkor Temples which Siem Reap is known worldwide for. Especially after Angelina Jolie played in the first Tomb Raider movie.

I also wanted to experience how Siem Reap differ from Phnom Penh and Battambang.

Even if the city is really touristy, there are still some charming spots in this small town!

I didn`t find the place chaotic as Phnom Penh, so mostly relaxing and calm (apart from the main road where Tuk-Tuk drivers will try to get a ride in a quite persistent way).

First, some important places to know about:

  • Ambulance: 119
  • Police : 117
  • Fire: 117
  • Tourist police located opposite of the main entrance to the Angkor archaelogical park.
  • Naga International Medical Centre Phone nr: (063)964 500. Open 24 hours and provide international standard medical services.
  • Kanya pharmacy Address: 82 Modul 1.
  • Banks and ATMs available around Siem Reap and dispense in $ dollars.
  • Post office Address: Modul 2 Village. Phone nr: (063) 963 446.
  • You can get internet access along Sivatha Road and around Old Market.
