Siemreap is more a traveller-base for Angkor Wat rather than a destination itself (since Angkor has no hotels or restaurants) ... correspondingly most people chill out in Siem Reap over meals and drinks after a tiring day visiting the Angkor temples ... the city is geared towards this ... fix transport for Angkor here depending on whether you are visiting it for one, two or more days (the three-wheelers are a good option) or, if you are done, for the Thai border or Phnom Penh depending on your direction ... after tiring yourself out at Angkor, come to your hotel here (good range available), relax (good massages, if you want, especially the professional foot massage to soothe aching feet), eat (good place to try Cambodian dishes), change money, and exchange notes on Angkor and Cambodia with co-travellers...
