Dear great value customer - I am Sokhy, tuk tuk driver in Siem Reap. English speaking, have good service, friendly and honest. I was driving around 5 years ago. Happy to share history. Please connect before you arrival in Siem Reap.
Thanks Mr Sokhy for the past 6 days, it has been great having you take us around the temples plus daily lunches into Siem Rep with our 2 young kids (as our hotel was out of town). Always on time, even though with our children we were always a bit late getting out! Very friendly and knowledgeable driver and guide. It helped loads having ice cold water and wet wipes at the ready after the visiting each temple. Would recommend anyone heading to Siem to contact before and arrange as required. Mr Sokhy can recommend a tour or can be flexible to meet needs. Thanks once again!

After visiting "Prasat Kravan", your next stop could probably be the neighboring "Banteay Kdei" - a Buddhist temple and monastery built, between the 12th and the 13th centuries, by the legendary Khmer King Jayavarman VII. It follows the characteristics of the "Angkor Wat" and "Bayon" architectural styles and is also known as the moated "Citadel of Monks' Cells", or as the "Citadel of Chambers". "Banteay Kdei" was built of soft sandstone and, due to sandstone's fragility, many of its galleries and structures collapsed down. As "Banteay Kdei" has never been restored, it allows visitors to really experience how it probably looked originally. "Banteay Kdei" is definitely a "jungle-temple" and will certainly pretty much remind you of nearby "Ta Prohm", one of the most iconic temples in the Angkor complex. Just opposite "Banteay Kdei", stands the large pool and terrace of "Srah Srang", the ancient "Royal Baths" of the Khmer Empire. Visit them all - "Prasat Kravan", "Banteay Kdei", "Srah Srang" and "Ta Prohm" - and remember, you are experiencing one of the most important archaeological complexes in the whole World. Absolutely unmissable! Enjoy

This temple is rather out of the way, so it doesn't get the huge crowds that others get. It's a very nice temple in really very good shape--in the end, I think it must be my favorite of all of them. It's not hard to reach and can easily be included on a trip up to Banteay Serei and/or Kbal Spean. The entrance fee is, of course, included in the normal Angkor Archeological Park ticket.

This is a sad memorial to those that died in the Battambang killing fields. Not many people seem to come here but I think it is worth visiting. It's a really sad, at times graphic and touching place. Worth going to as a reminder of the past. Afterwards we visited Prassat Bassaet which was a temple complex almost destroyed by the Khmer Rouge. It was another stark reminder of that regime but it was touching to see the local efforts to restore the temples.

This temple, famous as a film set for the film Tomb Raider, is under re-construction although the magic of the amazing trees and their roots is undiminished. On the way to and from the site, one passes two groups of seriously disabled musicians from the effects of the war. As they say, instead of begging in the streets they are raising money to feed their children and give them a reasonable standard of living.

This place is fantastic a great place to see rural Cambodian life! Wonderful to take a boat ride and see all the houses on stilts and see all the locals fishing and going about there day to day activities. Although we love the famous Cambodian temples if you want a break from them and see something different this is a really nice option.

Definitely visit this community-based organization that is providing employment for local women by creating beautiful silk scarves(mostly) at reasonable prices, but also has a free health clinic, day care for employees and local villagers' kids, English and computer classes for kids and housing for workers. As fewer and fewer women seek this kind of livelihood (it takes great patience to set up and weave silk), choosing instead easier - and potentially more lucrative - livelihoods, handmade silk products could be extinct in a decade(compared to silk produced on mechanized looms).

Don’t read the other comments saying it was closed. Of course, they have a shop, but they are all working and are not gonna open it all the Time for the tourist that comes once in a while. Maybe call before if you really want to pass by because the shop is still great! Touring without a guide isn’t really worth it (it’s like any village) But the BEST! Is to book a day tour or 2-day tour on their website ! Aline showed us around, explaining about plant medecine, rice fields, traditions, khmer words, fishing (which we tried), she speaks real good english and is very Nice :) At night, we cooked and dined with the family and slept with them as well (with mosquito-nets) A humbling and very cambodian expérience. We absolutely recommend it!! Plus you help the local community
