Back to Siem Reap after 2.5 years

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

Well, I guess the main complaint is that there's very little info about Siem Reap and maybe too many details about very mundane stuff.

Anyway, it's still "a good effort".

Thanks for the report Hanno, I always like to keep an eye on Siem Reap developments from afar as it's one of the few places in the region I'd consider living if I had to relocate.

Great report Hanno, encouraging me to take the family up to SR for a little getaway, haven't been there for about 6-7 years and didn't really like the place that much on my previous visits.

OMG it looks so nice and clean everywhere, not only in Siem Reap but also in this thread. What a great way to start a new week. Siem Reap reminds me of the second largest city in my home country. A bit provincial, but still with plenty of cultural offerings to make it a fun place to visit. But I've seen that some locals up there can be quite rough in their ways, so to me overall it feels a little less cosmopolitan in the long run.

A really insightful and interesting report, thanks for sharing. We will be there in October for at least a few days and this has made me look forward to it even more - great!

Wonderful report Hanno, it's great that you finally made the trip.

Those extras on your ticket, were they a combination of the internal and then the international flight?

Love the in-car art, did make me laugh. Also the restaurant recommendations especially the Italian one is noted.

All in all, Siem Reap suddenly has become a viable option for a long weekend away from PP.

Hello Doc, yes the extras were a combination of domestic and international flights.

I loved the art too, cannot be angry with my Princess.

The Mamma Shop has always been excellent and I was very happy to see that the quality of the food did not suffer during Covid.

I got a little tired of Siem Reap before Covid: traffic, too many Chinese, etc. But credit where credit is due: the town has improved a lot.
