Shopping

Who doesn't like this particular Siem Reap tourist attraction?
Haggling is alive and well at traditional markets. You may want to shop around and compare prices because they all carry similar stuff. The Siem Reap tourism business seems to be growing because they recently opened up a new night market.

1. Central Market - the market for souvenirs and Cambodian trinkets. Best prices.

Siem Reap Tourism Artisans d'Angkor One of Siem Reap tourism leading industries: Artisans d'Angkor silk
2. Old Market - medium sized market selling clothes and souvenirs. Okay prices.

3. Night Market - geared towards tourists. Stays open until midnight. Highest prices. Website

4. Artisans d'Angkor - the leading Cambodian silk company. Unbelievably gorgeous stuff, but expect Western
'prices,' and no haggling. Website

5. Boutique shoppes around the Old Market area - from arts and crafts, to silk clothes and trinkets. These
small shops are fun to visit and have unique items.

So In Short...
There you have it, a list of Siem Reap attractions and activities to get you started. There are so many things to do that you won't want to leave!
Who knew that there are so many Cambodia attractions in and near Siem Reap?
And I use the term attractions loosely, becuase sometimes you will be the only tourist! Considering that Cambodia is visited by millions and millions of people, getting a temple to yourself is an unbelievable treat.
