Explore The Pearl Of Cambodia: Angkor Wat, Siem Reap

The still very much secret Kingdom of Angkor, with its base in Siem Reap, remains one of the most popular attractions in Cambodia, so much that this destination is defined as one of the biggest religious sites in the world. It has stood the test of time for nine centuries, with further restorations, and in that time many different areas surrounding Angkor Wat have been discovered. Before the rise of urbanisation, this land was known as the capital of the Khmer Empire. Since then, it has become the most popular tourist destination in Southeast Asia with over two million visitors each year. The price for entry to the UNESCO World Heritage Site is 20 USD a day or 40 USD for three days, which is plenty of time to explore the many sites within Angkor Wat and get your money's worth. It's recommended to take a tuk tuk driver to take you around for the day as each site is a fair distance to reach on foot, but it's not impossible, as you can also cycle to each site or go by foot. A tuk tuk driver for the day should cost no more than 10 USD. The best time to visit is just after the rainy season (months of November - May) to avoid getting drenched!
