Siem Reap is a city in Cambodia that is nestled in the country’s northwestern region. The seat of the Khmer Kingdom, which dates back to the 9th and 15th centuries, is located in this inland town. In addition, it is the ticket to the Angkor Wat temple and the Angkor Archaeological Park.As the second largest city in the nation, it has approximately 1.1 million people in the entire province. It’s a 5.5-hour drive from Phnom Penh, so it’s easily accessible by a luxury bus company for about $16 USD each way via VET Express Airbus. Our visit took place during The Water Festival.

The Phare, The Cambodian Circus
All types of tourists and traveling families can enjoy the magical experience of The Phare, the Cambodian Circus. It was incredibly entertaining. The staff was highly skilled and the performers were outstanding, displaying a significant amount of juggling, acrobatics, and aerial skills.
Apsara Dinner Theater
An extravagant atmosphere prevailed at the Apsara Dinner Theater. Situated in one of the most luxurious hotel accommodations in Siem Reap. The buffet that was all-you-can-eat was superb. There was a vast array of fruit, vegetable, fish, and chicken dishes. Adult beverages are sold separately and payment is made by credit card at the end of service. The performance was impressive and had short breaks in between. You can experience authentic Khmer culture by observing beautiful hand-stitched and beaded costumes, as well as live music.

Sessions Siem Reap
Fun and funky dive bar with accessible ownership (Liam), waitstaff (Lola), and overall clientele. This is a great spot for a solo traveler seeking a gateway into a memorable evening.
Physical Therapy/Chiropractic Care
When it comes to dealing with pain, this is a great alternative to traditional medicine. After one session, there are signs of some relief for sciatica issues caused by an accident. My spine and neck were properly adjusted and realigned by the technician who spent the necessary time. They can be contacted via Google HERE.
