Beng Mealea

Beng Mealea is one of the ruins in the Angkor archaeological site, where the rubble of stones is still covered by the tropical forest. This twelfth-century structure lies within a chaotic environment that highlights its charming features, preserving the paradoxical landscape for restoration and maintaining its appeal for beautiful sightseeing. 

Prè Rup

Prè Rup is a brick pyramid temple featuring five towers arranged in a quincunx, built in 961 AD by the Hindu king Rajendravarman II. This religious edifice is dedicated to the Shivalinga known as Rajendrabhadreshvara. It is located to the northeast of Yashodharapura, Phnom Bakheng, which has served as the administrative center of Kambujadesa since 900 AD. During sunset, this temple dedicated to the Shiva cult takes on a golden hue.

Prasat Pram

Prasat Pram is one of the hundreds of religious shrines at the Koh Ker site, which extends over 81 square kilometers. This brick structure, consisting of five edifices, was built in the mid-tenth century by King Jayavarman IV and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Its location is situated to the south of Prasat Thom, the main temple with a pyramid shape in the center of Lingapura, the city of Shivalinga. Prasat Pram served as a satellite temple, similar to other temples like Prasat Linga in Koh Ker. 

Siem Reap War Museum

The Siem Reap War Museum is located on National Route No 6 near the Cambodian Cultural Village. Coming from Siem Reap town on the right hand side, just behind the military office. Take a Remok, Motorbike or car. The guy that runs this small and very new place was forced to join the Khmer Rouge as a boy and trained to make as lay landmines, something they were all too good at. The Vietnamese-installed government rescued him in 1985-so his story goes-and thereafter he helped the government in clearing areas where landmines have been laid. His name is Akira and he is a friendly guy that speaks English and Japanese ad is happy to visit with people that come by.

Kompong Phluk Floating Village

Kampong Phluk is a cluster of three villages of stilted houses built within the floodplain about 16 km southeast of Siem Reap. The villages are primarily Khmer and have about 3000 inhabitants between them. Flooded mangrove forest surrounds the area and is home to a variety of wildlife including crab-eating macaques. During the dry season when the lake is low, the buildings in the villages seem to soar atop their 6-meter stilts exposed by the lack of water. At this time of year many of the villagers move out onto the lake and build temporary houses. In the wet season when water level rises, the villagers move back to their permanent houses on the floodplain, the stilts now hidden under the water. Kampong Phluk's economy is, as one might expect, based in fishing, primary in shrimp harvesting.

Kampong Khleang Siem Reap

Kampong Khleang is located on the northern lake-edge about 35 km east of Siem Reap town, more remote and less touristed than Kampong Phluk. Visitors to Kampong Khleang during the dry season are universally awestruck by the forest of stilted houses rising up to 10 meters in the air. In the wet season the waters rise to within one or two meters of the buildings. Like Kampong Phluk, Kampong Khleang is a permanent community within the floodplain of the Lake, with an economy based in fishing and surrounded by flooded forest. But Kampong Khleang is significantly larger with near 10 times the population of Kampong Phluk, making it the largest community on the Lake.
