Siem Reap

Siem Reap town is located in northern Cambodia and is the main access point for the Angkor Archaeological Park. Siem Reap, means "Siam Defeated" and commemorates a Khmer victory over the neighboring kingdom of Thailand. Expect to receive constant offers for motodop and tuk-tuk rides, along with everything else drivers may offer to you. Some places to visit here are the Landmine Museum, which is a jungle shack set up by a local deminer, Aki Ra, to educate locals and tourists about the dangers of land mines. Lots of piles of defused mines and UXO lie around the site, and the guides are teenagers who were orphaned, or injured by mines. A very worthwhile trip, and shows you a slice of "real" Cambodia. Donations are very welcome, and everything will be used for mine clearance.
