When I first arrived in Siem Reap, I only knew it as the gateway to Angkor Wat, but it quickly became so much more. From sunrise temple visits to late-night tuk-tuk rides, this city captivated me with its charm and energy.
This guide is packed with tips, must-see spots, and useful information to help you experience Siem Reap to the fullest. Whether you’re here for the temples, the culture, or the vibrant atmosphere, this guide will help you to make the most of your visit.
When To Go To Siem Reap
The best time to visit Siem Reap is during the cool and dry season from November to February. During these months, the weather is more comfortable, with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F), making it ideal for exploring temples and outdoor activities.
If you’re looking to avoid crowds, consider visiting in the shoulder seasons of October or March, when the weather is still manageable, and tourist numbers are lower.
The wet season (May to October) can also be a good time if you don’t mind the occasional rain. The countryside is lush and green, and Angkor Wat is stunning with its moats filled to the brim. Plus, there are fewer tourists, and accommodations tend to be cheaper. Just be prepared for humidity and potential travel disruptions due to heavy rains.
How To Get To Siem Reap
Getting to Siem Reap as a backpacker can be an adventure in itself. Whether you’re travelling overland from neighbouring countries or flying in, here’s a detailed guide to help you plan your journey.
1. By Air
Siem Reap International Airport (REP) is well-connected to major cities in Southeast Asia. Airlines like AirAsia, Scoot, and Thai AirAsia often have cheap flights to Siem Reap from cities such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and Ho Chi Minh City. Prices typically start from £40 - £60 if booked in advance. The airport is about 15 minutes from the city center. You can take a tuk-tuk (around £4–£6), Grab or a shared van for a cheaper option.
2. By Bus
Travelling by bus is the most popular option for budget backpackers coming from Cambodia or neighbouring countries.
From Phnom Penh (Cambodia)
Duration: 5–7 hours
Cost: £7 - £12
Recommended Operators: Giant Ibis and Mekong Express offer comfortable buses with air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Night buses are also available.
From Bangkok (Thailand)
Option 1: Direct Bus
Duration: 8–9 hours.
Cost: £20 - £30.
Recommended Operator: Giant Ibis offers direct buses that include visa assistance at the border.
Option 2: Split Journey
Take a bus or train from Bangkok to the Poipet border (4–6 hours, £5 - £8). Cross the border on foot. From the Cambodian side, take a bus or shared taxi to Siem Reap (3–4 hours, £6 - £12).
From Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam)
Option 1: Direct Bus via Phnom Penh
Duration: 12–14 hours.
Cost: £15 - £25
Most buses stop in Phnom Penh for a brief transfer.
Option 2: Split Journey
Travel to Phnom Penh first (6–7 hours) and then take another bus to Siem Reap (5–7 hours). This can be more flexible if you want to explore Phnom Penh.
3. By Boat (from Phnom Penh or Battambang)
Taking a boat to Siem Reap is a scenic and adventurous way to travel, though it’s more expensive and time-consuming than buses.
From Phnom Penh: Boats take about 5–6 hours. Tickets cost around £28 - £35.
From Battambang: This journey along the Tonle Sap River is stunning and takes 6–8 hours. Tickets cost £20 - £25.
Note that boats only operate in the wet season (June to November) when water levels are high.
4. Overland by Train (from Thailand)
If you’re coming from Thailand, you can take a train from Bangkok to Aranyaprathet (near the Poipet border). From Aranyaprathet, cross the Poipet border on foot, then take a bus or taxi to Siem Reap.
Duration: 6 hours.
Cost: Around £1 - £2 (3rd class seat).
5. Crossing the Border
If you’re entering Cambodia overland, here’s what to know:
Visa on Arrival: Most nationalities can get a visa on arrival at land borders for £24 ($30USD) Bring a passport-sized photo and pay in cash (preferably in USD).
Scams: Be cautious of border scams, especially at Poipet. Officials or “agents” may try to overcharge you. Stick to the official visa fee and avoid paying extra fees.
Currency: Cambodian riel and USD are widely accepted, but USD is preferred for visa payments.
Getting Around Siem Reap
Tuk-Tuks
Tuk-tuks are the most popular way to get around Siem Reap, offering convenience and affordability. Short trips within the city typically cost between £1 and £3 per ride, while hiring a tuk-tuk for a full day to explore the temples usually costs around £10 to £15. It’s important to agree on a price with the driver before starting your journey. Many tuk-tuk drivers also double as informal tour guides and can offer helpful tips for your visit.
Bicycles
Cycling is an eco-friendly and budget-friendly way to explore Siem Reap and the Angkor temples. Basic bikes can be rented for £1 to £2 per day, while mountain bikes cost slightly more, at £3 to £5 per day. This option is best for those who want to explore at their own pace, whether visiting Angkor Wat or venturing into nearby villages. Start early to avoid the heat, and remember to bring plenty of water. Some guesthouses and hostels even offer free or discounted bike rentals.
Motorbike or Scooter Rentals
Motorbikes and scooters offer more independence and allow you to cover longer distances quickly. Rentals typically cost £7 to £10 per day. This is a great option for visiting temples or further-off attractions like Phnom Kulen or the floating villages. However, be aware that Cambodian roads can be hectic, so it’s best to have experience riding scooters. Some rental agencies may ask for an international driver’s permit.
Walking
Within Siem Reap’s city center, many places are close enough to explore on foot. Pub Street, the Old Market, and several restaurants and bars are all within walking distance of most backpacker accommodations. Walking is free, easy, and gives you the chance to soak up the local atmosphere.
Shared Minibuses or Private Cars
For larger groups or those looking for a more comfortable option, shared minibuses and private cars are available. These are often arranged through hotels or tour operators for activities like Angkor Wat sunrise tours or trips to further attractions. Prices vary but are typically more expensive than tuk-tuks, costing around £20 to £30 for a day trip.
Tips for Getting Around Siem Reap
Always carry small change for paying tuk-tuk drivers or rentals. It’s a good idea to negotiate prices beforehand, especially with tuk-tuks. For temple visits, start early in the morning to avoid the midday heat. Finally, always stay hydrated and carry sunscreen or a hat when travelling by bike or walking.
Things To Do In Siem Reap
Siem Reap is far more than just a gateway to Angkor Wat - it’s a vibrant city full of culture, adventure, and charm. Whether you’re a history buff, foodie, or party enthusiast, there’s something here for everyone.
1. Explore the Temples of Angkor
The Angkor Archaeological Park is the crown jewel of Siem Reap and a must-visit. Start with Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world, and visit at sunrise for an unforgettable view. Next, head to Angkor Thom, home to the iconic smiling faces of the Bayon Temple, and don’t miss Ta Prohm, famously intertwined with massive tree roots.
For those with more time, there are plenty of lesser-known temples worth visiting:
Banteay Srei: Located about 25 kilometers from the main Angkor complex, this temple is famous for its intricate carvings and pink sandstone construction. Known as the “Citadel of Women,” it’s smaller but incredibly detailed.
Preah Khan: A sprawling, atmospheric temple that combines Buddhist and Hindu elements. It’s less crowded than the main sites and has an overgrown charm similar to Ta Prohm.
Neak Pean: A unique, small temple situated on an artificial island, surrounded by a tranquil reflecting pool.
How to Get Around the Temples
By Tuk-Tuk: Hiring a tuk-tuk driver is the easiest option. A day of exploring the main temples costs around £10–£15, while visiting outer temples like Banteay Srei may cost a bit more.
By Bicycle: Many backpackers choose to rent a bike for £1–£3 per day to explore at their own pace. Start early to beat the heat and carry plenty of water.
By Guided Tour: Joining a guided tour can enhance your experience with insights into the history and culture of the Khmer Empire. Tours typically cost £20–£30 per person.
Temple Passes and Entry
The Angkor Archaeological Park requires a pass, which you can purchase at the official ticket office:
1-day pass: £30
3-day pass: £50
7-day pass: £60
Passes are non-transferable and include a photo of the holder. It’s worth noting that the 3-day pass doesn’t need to be used consecutively, giving you flexibility to rest or explore other parts of Siem Reap in between temple visits.
Tips for Exploring Angkor
Dress respectfully: Temples are sacred, so cover your shoulders and knees.
Start early: Beat the crowds and the heat by visiting the most popular sites at sunrise.
Stay hydrated: Bring plenty of water, especially if cycling.
Plan your route: The Small Circuit includes Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, and Ta Prohm, while the Grand Circuit includes more distant temples like Preah Khan and Neak Pean.
2. Wander Through Siem Reap’s Markets
Siem Reap’s markets are a feast for the senses. Visit the Old Market (Psar Chas) for souvenirs, clothing, and local snacks. For a more modern vibe, check out the Made in Cambodia Market, which showcases locally crafted goods. Don’t miss the Night Market, where you can grab street food, shop for handicrafts, and soak up the buzzing atmosphere.
3. Take a Cambodian Cooking Class
Immerse yourself in local culture by learning to cook traditional Khmer dishes. Many cooking schools in Siem Reap offer half-day or full-day classes where you’ll visit a local market to pick out ingredients and then cook dishes like amok curry, lok lak, and banana blossom salad. Classes usually cost £15–£25 per person.
4. Experience Pub Street and the Nightlife
Siem Reap’s Pub Street is a backpacker haven, offering cheap drinks, lively music, and a buzzing atmosphere.
Start with a drink at Angkor What? Bar, one of the area’s most iconic spots, or check out Temple Bar for live performances. If you prefer a more laid-back vibe, visit the Miss Wong Cocktail Bar or the hidden Sokkhak River Lounge.
5. Visit the Tonle Sap Lake and Floating Villages
Take a trip to Tonle Sap Lake, Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake, to explore the unique floating villages.
Villages like Kompong Phluk and Chong Kneas offer a glimpse into local life, with houses, schools, and markets all floating on the water. Guided tours typically cost £15–£25 and include transport and a boat ride.
6. Discover the Phare Cambodian Circus
Phare is not your average circus - it’s a mix of acrobatics, theatre, music, and storytelling that highlights Cambodian culture and history. The performers are graduates of a local arts school, and the shows are inspiring and entertaining. Tickets start at around £10.
7. Visit the Apopo Rat Museum
A visit to the Apopo Rat Museum offers a unique experience that goes beyond the traditional temples and cultural sites of Siem Reap. This fascinating organisation trains African giant pouched rats to detect landmines and tuberculosis, making a huge impact on local communities. The museum, operated by Apopo, a non-profit organisation, gives you a chance to learn about their vital work in clearing landmines and improving health outcomes in Cambodia.
The museum tour provides an educational and interactive experience where you’ll have the opportunity to meet the rats in action, watch them sniff out a mock landmine, and learn about the impact of landmines on Cambodian communities
Visitors can make a donation or purchase souvenirs to support the cause. The entry fee is around £3.
8. Relax with a Spa Treatment or Fish Massage
Siem Reap is full of spas offering affordable treatments. Try a traditional Khmer massage, which costs as little as £4–£8 for an hour. For a unique (and ticklish) experience, dip your feet into a fish spa, where small fish nibble away dead skin. Fish spas cost around £1–£3.
9. Take a Bike or Quad Bike Tour
Explore the countryside around Siem Reap on a bike or quad bike. Cycle through rice fields and villages or book a guided quad bike tour to go off-road and see more remote areas. Quad bike tours cost £20–£35, while bike rentals are only £1–£3 per day.
10. Visit the Cambodia Landmine Museum
This small but powerful museum tells the story of Cambodia’s landmine crisis and ongoing efforts to clear mines. Founded by a former child soldier, the museum is both educational and emotional. Entry costs around £3, and it’s located near Banteay Srei temple, making it easy to combine the two.
11. Explore the Art Scene at the Angkor National Museum
For history lovers, the Angkor National Museum offers a deeper understanding of the Khmer Empire’s history and culture. The exhibits are well-curated, with displays on Angkor’s religious significance and incredible artifacts. Entry costs £8–£10.
12. Shop at Artisans Angkor
Artisans Angkor is a social enterprise dedicated to reviving traditional Cambodian crafts. Visit their workshops to see artisans at work creating silk, wood, and stone handicrafts. The shop is a great place to pick up authentic souvenirs while supporting the local community.
13. Take a Yoga or Meditation Class
After days of exploring, unwind with a yoga or meditation session. Studios like Blue Indigo Yoga offer drop-in classes for around £5–£8, as well as multi-day retreats.
14. Explore Kulen Mountain
For nature lovers, a day trip to Phnom Kulen National Park is a must. Hike to waterfalls, visit the reclining Buddha statue, and see the River of a Thousand Lingas, an ancient sacred site. Entry to the park costs around £15, and it’s best reached by tuk-tuk or private car.
15. Watch an Apsara Dance Performance
