      Introduction

      Magical Angkor Wat Temple amazes more than two million visitors each year. However, there are a number of things to see in Siem Reap other than temples and pagodas.

      This book gives 20 must-see or do attraction, including an additional nine things to do and see. Although some of the items are in the Angkor Wat Park, they are not temples or pagodas.

      As these items are additional things to do and see in Siem Reap other than the temples, there is no itinerary for them. Scan though the book and see what attractions you would like to see or activities you would like to do and try to fit them in between temple visits. After reading this book, you may realize that Siem Reap warrants a day or two extra vacation time.

      For visitors who are tight on time, this book goes hand in hand with my book Angkor Wat: 20 Must-See Temples, which gives you the top 20 temples to see.

      If your vacation includes more towns in Cambodia, or Vietnam, Thailand, or Laos, see my books about these places to enhance your holiday.

      Note that any company or services I recommend in this book are from my own experience or opinion to use. I have no affiliation with any company nor do I get any returns if you use them. Although I do recommend companies that I have used or found to have a good reputation, life is life, thus I can accept no responsibility for their service.

      Siem Reap is the capital city of Siem Reap Province in northwestern Cambodia, and the gateway city to Angkor Wat. The city’s name translates to Defeat of Siam. According to legend, King Ang Chan (1516–1566) gave the city its name after he drove back an army sent to invade Cambodia by the Thai King Maha Chakkraphat in 1549. This has not been proven as fact as of yet and remains a legend and the actual origin of the name remains unknown.
