Angkor World Travel

Our hometown Siem Reap is much more than the capital of the province of the same name. It is one of the major tourist hubs in the world. Almost all holiday-makers visiting Cambodia will choose to have overnight stays in Siem Reap, because everybody wants to see the Angkor Wat and Siem Reap is the essential gateway to the Angkor temples. The name of Siem Reap, meaning "Siamese defeat", is only less well-known than that of its major attraction, Angkor Wat. (This iscomparable to Agra in India, which is not as famous as its Taj Mahal.) Furthermore, Siem Reap is the gateway to the Tonle Sap, the largest and most interesting lake of Southeast Asia. By the way, Siem Reap town itself is worth a visit, because of its local Asian markets, its colonial flair, its colourful temples and its exciting nightlife.
