Angkor Wat - It really is a must see
Siem Reap & Hong Kong 2 Centre Tour:
From £1,490 per person.
After a few days spent at one of the worlds premier sporting event and the full on partying that the Hong Kong Sevens is redound for there is no better way to relax whilst also visiting one of the most ancient 'Wonders of The World' Angkor Wat. Siem Reap province is located in northwest Cambodia and the major tourist hub in Cambodia; it’s also the closest city to the world famous temples of Angkor (the Angkor temple complex is north of the city). The provincial capital is also called Siem Reap and is located in the South of the province on the shores of the Tonle Sap Lake, the greatest sweet water reserve in whole Southeast Asia. The name of the city literally means Siamese defeated, referring to the victory of the Khmer Empire over the army of the Thai kingdom in the 17th century.
At the turn of the millennium Siem Reap was a Cambodian provincial town with few facilities, minor surfaced roads and little in the way of nightlife. Tourism industry catered largely to hardy backpackers willing to brave the tortuous road from the Thai border on the tailgate of a local pick-up truck. There were a couple of large hotels and a handful of budget guesthouses. Tuk-tuks and taxis were non-existent and the trusty motodup was the chosen means of touring the temples of Angkor.
The proximity of the Angkorian ruins turned Siem Reap into a boom town in less than half a decade. Huge, expensive hotels have sprung up everywhere and hotels have mushroomed. Property values have soared to European levels and tourism has become a vast, lucrative industry. The Siem Reap of today is barely recognisable from the Siem Reap of the year 2000.
