Siem Reap & Angkor Wat Archives

Siem Reap is one of Cambodia’s most popular tourism destinations. A thriving resort town known for its archaic colonial and Chinese buildings and plentiful activities. The area’s popularity derives from its close proximity to the Angkor Wat temple complex, by far the country’s most popular and iconic tourism attraction. The largest religious monument on the planet, Angkor Wat dates back to the early 12th Century, originating as a Hindu temple before being converted into a Buddhist temple. An iconic example of Khmer architecture, Angkor Wat is also Cambodia’s definitive cultural symbol.
