siem reap | everything in between.

Beyond the temples of Angkor Wat + the community of Chong Kneas, Siem Reap was a lovely city to explore by foot + by tuk -. We started all our mornings with large iced coffees accompanied with a fresh fruit + muesli breakfast on the sheltered patio at our guesthouse which was always so lovely. Since it was off-season, not too many people were staying there so everyone was so talkative to one another about their travels + lives, including the guesthouse staff. It was always such a laid-back atmosphere. When we weren’t temple-seeing and river boating, we had our tuk-tuk driver take us all over the city: we visited a memorial of all the victims who were killed under Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge regime; saw a dance performance; and, wandered, dined + socialized on Pub Street among other things. It was a busy few days but we certainly made the most of it.
{We really wanted to take a Khmer cooking class at this restaurant but they weren’t giving them the day we went – we ate their anyway + the food, of course, was fantastic}

{Our wonderful tuk-tuk driver who drove us around everyday – he was so much fun! Here he’s sporting my sunglasses and from then on he nicknamed himself “The Rockstar”}
And that concludes my highlights of Cambodia!
