SIEM REAP AND ANKGOR - fascinating gateway to a world wonder
1000 years ago, the place we now know as Angkor Wat was probably the largest city on earth with over one million inhabitants. Today, it is one of the most magnificent places in the world to visit. But see it now before...
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 town's three new traffic lights. With nearly 100 hotels to accommodate visitors to nearby Angkor Wat it's 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.
