Other sights in Siem Reap

  1. A

    Cambodian Cultural Village

    It may be kitsch, it may be kooky, but it is very popular with Cambodians and provides a diversion for families travelling with children. The visit begins with a wax museum and includes traditional homes of ethnic groups and miniature replicas of landmark Cambodian buildings. There are also dance shows and performances throughout the day.

  2. National Centre of the Khmer Ceramics Revival

    Dedicated to reviving the Khmer tradition of pottery, the centre has re-created an ancient Khmer kiln, which is helping to breathe new life into this old art. It’s possible to try your hand at the potters wheel, and there are plenty of elegant items on sale. It’s located near the airport.

    Wat Thmei

  6. Wat Athvea

    Wat Athvea is a pretty pagoda set on the site of an ancient sandstone temple that sees far fewer visitors than Angkor. It‘s south of the city centre, on the road to Tonlé Sap lake.
