subject: Make Your Holiday Memorable With Splendid Siem Reap Tours [print this page] Siem reap is the old capital of Cambodia and the second largest city in Cambodia outside the current capital Phnom Penh. Nearby is the mighty Mekong River that flows through China, Laos and then Cambodia out into the South China Sea.
The biggest attraction in Siem Reap tours is Angkor Wat and the other surrounding temples built around 900-1000 years ago. There is a big collection of different temples to keep you busy during your stay.
During your Siem Reap tours, you can spend a day by visiting some of the surrounding villages. One village worth visiting is Kompong Phhluk, about one hour away from Siem Reap by tuk-tuk. What makes Kompong Phhluk unique is that the entire village is built on high stilts as it is close to the river and the very large Tonle Sap Lake, where the water rises significantly during the rainy season and floods the entire countryside. Getting there requires a drive and even a boat ride if the water levels are high.
Having a personal tuk-tuk driver is a good idea during Siem Reap tours and Angkor Wat regardless of where you stay, as it is very difficult to get to town or the temples on your own, or more costly if you want to hire a driver separately for each excursion. Even within Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples, you will need a driver to take you from place to place as the temples are not within walking distance.
