Siem Reap is an odd little speck on the map in Western Cambodia. These days it is like a frontier gold rush town with dusty streets, garish lights after dark, and water buffalo caught up in traffic jams. Drivers are still not quite sure what to do when they encounter one of the townAsia's three new traffic lights. With nearly
200 hotels to accommodate visitors to nearby Angkor Wat it is a bustling place, with great restaurants, shopping, and even some nightlife. One well-known travel writer remarked that Siem Reap is "one of the few towns in Asia that just gets better and better." Many visitors are staying longer and longer as the world discovers that utterly charming Siem Reap has more to offer than just Angkor Wat. You do not have to be gay to enjoy one of Purple DragonAsia's all-inclusive Angkor Wat packages.
