Introduction:

Siem Reap, the provincial capital of Siem Reap province, Cambodia, is a burgeoning hub of tourism, located 311 kilometers from Phnom Penh and just 152 kilometers from the Thai border.

With a population of approximately 85,000, this once-quiet town has grown into a bustling destination for travelers worldwide.

The rapid growth of Siem Reap's tourism industry is largely due to its proximity to the Angkor Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. For over a century, Siem Reap has been the essential stop for visitors eager to explore the ancient wonders of Angkor.

In contrast to the bustling capital of Phnom Penh, Siem Reap offers a quieter, safer environment. It is the allure of Angkor Wat, the pinnacle of Khmer classical architecture, that draws travelers from around the globe.
