I beamed when I heard it, a now familiar phrase. This was my fourth trip to Cambodia and my third to Siem Reap, the city whose airport we had just landed in from Bangkok. There are plenty of unticked places on my Southeast Asia to do list. So why return to the same […]

Siem Reap is a tourism boom town, and you can’t take two steps without stumbling into a hotel guesthouse. Luckily, quality was not sacrificed for quantity, and amazing value can be found at every price point. I love a good hotel.

Yet many visitors go no further than what is presented in the history section of their Lonely Planet guidebook.
