Siem Reap City in Cambodia was an absolute delight! Caleb and I spent a few days here and could have stayed for longer. Between the food, temples, scenery, and people- our five sense were overwhelmed by the beauty of it all. Siem Reap City was our the home base for our adventures to the Angkor Wat, the Cambodian countryside, lotus pond excursions, and so so much more.
As you may have seen here, we spent our first day in Siem Reap exploring the incredible wats nearby. The second day we borrowed bikes from our hotel and simply perused the city. The city is small enough to feel cozy and welcoming, but big enough to keep you entertained for at least a week. We biked outside the main tourist area and were delighted to find the locals all waving and saying hello. Some of the small children even came out of their homes to watch us ride down the road. Thailand is known as the land of smiles, but Cambodia comes in a close second. Everyone was filled with such joy.

While exploring, we stumbled across the most incredible street market. After living in Thailand, I was certain I could not be surprised by the street markets- but goodness was I wrong. Not only was the market absolutely incredible, the prices were so cheap! They had everything from silk scarves and sterling silver dishes to fresh teas, spices and natural medicine. And of course- no street fair is complete without food vendors, which Caleb and I took complete advantage of! We ate at least one banana/nutella crepe a day! How can you turn it down when they cost just under a dollar?
We also stayed at the BEST hotel for $22 a night, including breakfast. Yep, you read that correctly. Oh, also included was a free half hour massage per person. I’ll be sharing more about this hotel soon. It was seriously too good to pass up.
