Itinerary Insights

Angkor Wat Temple is said to replicate the spatial universe in miniature. The central tower is a mountain, with its surrounding smaller peaks, bounded in turn by continents (the lower courtyards) and the oceans (the moat). The seven-headed naga (mythical serpent) becomes a symbolic rainbow bridge for humankind to reach the abode of the gods.
A magical journey. 


In contrast Siem Reap could be described as a more upbeat hot spot of entertainment, dining and shopping - Siem Reap has reinvented itself as the epicentre of chic Cambodia, with everything from backpacker party pads to hip hotels, world-class wining and dining across a range of cuisines, sumptuous spas, great shopping, local tours to suit both foodies and adventurers, and a growing creative cultural scene. 

Protecting the Temples. 
Angkor Temples has had major change of areas within its grounds that visitors may visit and areas that are now off limits.  This focus was created to help preserve this unique structure.  Siem Reap Township roads, pathways, electrical and water systems have been upgraded and installed throughout the town and extending into some temple areas. The addition of wide pathways and huge river system widening and dredging allows Siem Reap to be cleaner and easier to negotiate for all visitors and locals alike. 

Our Accommodation 
Our 4 STAR Boutique Urban Riverside Resort overlooks the Siem Reap river. It is easy walking distance to the township center, dining,  shopping and entertainment.

Battambang 4 star hotel is one of the few colonial buildings a very old part of town and close to the riverside tourist area.  A very special place to stay. Built in the early 1900's it still has that touch of elegance you would expect of buildings of that era.
