Capital City of Siem Reap Province
Siem Reap is full of my country's history and one of the most popular tourist attractions.
I'm more than happy to drive you to Siem Reap and show you the temples of Angkor Wat, the Old Market, Cambodian Landmine Museum, Central Market and much more.
The name Siem Reap means "Defeat of Siam." - today's Thailand - and refers to a century-old bloodbath, commemorated in stone in the bas relief carvings of the monuments.
It was in 1907 when Angkor was taken from Thailand by force and assigned to Cambodia. The land was cleared and restoration of the whole site began. This was also the first year that tourists came to Angkor - 200 of them in just three months. Angkor had been "rescued" from the jungle and was assuming its rightful plan in the modern world.
Siem Reap is beautiful any time of the year and the temples of Angkor Wat are massive and breathtaking to see upclose.
