✦ Siem Reap is a walkable, slow-travel city that rewards long stays – compact enough to cover the Royal Residence, riverside and Old Market on foot
✦ Kandal Shopping Street (Hap Guan Street) is the best entry point into local Cambodian craft: rattan, agarwood, lacquerware and an excellent independent coffee stop
✦ Wat Bo Village and the Old Market/Pub Street area cover the full dining and nightlife spectrum, from Khmer home cooking at Tevy’s Place to craft cocktails at Calao
✦ For day trips and breathing space: Angkor Thom walls, Lotus Silk Farm canoe tours, and Tonle Sap sunset sails
