Cambodia - Checklist of Things To See



Problem
So much to do so little time. Where first?

Answers:
Checklist:

We thought it was a three hour trip through the jungle but Ankor Wat seems to be in the country's second city and Siem Reap. You arrive at the airport 6 km away - hotels may provide transfer. The Ankor Wat complex is about 7 km away.

1 The National Museum has videos, static and interactive exhibits and provides an introduction to the temples (or a refresher).
Museums include at least two others featuring the war.

2 Ankor Wat
Also several other similar complexes:
Tour to
Bayon (Royal ...)

3 killing Fields memorial and Wat Thmey
Several people say it's free but another says the price includes headphones for commentary.

4 Terrace of the Elephants

5 Angkor Silk Farm

6 Lotus farm
Something different. 15 minutes out of town.

7 Shopping - Kings Road shopping village - dearer but good if you want to support locals.
A large number of combined shops and art galleries.

8 Night market.

9 Evening Cultural show.
