Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor, home to Angkor Wat and a vast collection of temples, reservoirs, and monuments that tell the story of the Khmer Empire. Walking among the carved stone faces of the Bayon or the jungle-covered corridors of Ta Prohm, you can imagine a civilisation that once shaped much of Southeast Asia. Its legacy is still alive today.
The town itself is lively yet approachable. Colonial-era streets sit alongside boutique cafés, craft shops, and riverside markets. Local villages nearby reveal centuries of trade, French influence, and resilience. Tonlé Sap Lake and the surrounding countryside showcase traditional fishing and farming practices, giving context to the temples and everyday life in the kingdom.
With cazenove+loyd connections, you can explore temples before the crowds, visit artisan workshops, and hear stories from local historians. Through these insider experiences, Siem Reap comes alive with stories, artistry, and traditions that stay with you long after you leave.
The city’s name commemorates a 16th‑century victory by the Khmer Empire over the Kingdom of Siam, now modern Thailand. In Khmer, Siem Reap literally translates as “Defeat of Siam”.
This battle marked a period of shifting power in the region, with the Khmer kingdom asserting influence at a time when Siam was in decline, eventually leading to the flourishing of the grand temple city of Angkor.
Sadly, Cambodia still bears the legacy of decades of conflict, during which millions of landmines were laid across the country and many remain buried today.
The Cambodia Landmine Museum, near Siem Reap, founded by former child soldier and self-taught de-miner Aki Ra, explains the impact of unexploded ordnance and the work being done to remove it. The museum highlights the use of African giant pouched rats, trained to detect explosives safely, and at affiliated centres guests can meet the rats and learn how they are helping return land to safe use, with proceeds supporting disabled children and young people.
