Over a million tourists a year pass through Siem Reap, making it the fastest-growing place in Cambodia outside of the capital Phnom Penh. With a history dating all the way back to the year 802, visiting Siem Reap is a highlight for many people traveling through Southeast Asia. Welcome to things ToDoChannel, today we’re going to list ten things to do in Siem Reap Enjoy a Thousand-Year-Old Apsara Dance After Dark. The millennia-old Khmer traditional dance was almost wiped out during the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime. Fortunately, a few survivors managed to pass on the art to a new generation of apsara dancers, whose students in turn now perform on stages across Siem Reap, wearing form-fitting clothing and gilt headdresses. Sacred Dancers of Angkor shows take place at the Divine Sala on Wednesdays and Sundays from 7 pm onward, entrancing viewers with an intricately-performed Khmer dance performance infused with a spiritual presence lacking in the city’s other apsara shows. Wander through Angkor National Museum. Relics from the ancient Angkor Empire – including over 6,000 lintels, assorted statues of Hindu gods, Buddhist bodhisattvas, and sandstone reliefs – tell the fascinating story of the Angkor Empire's beginnings and eventual downfall. Watch the Phare Circus. Despite its modern look, Phare Circus taps deep into a historic Khmer tradition of acrobatics, making this fun romp just as authentically Khmer as the Apsara dance. Any speaking parts are performed in the Khmer language, though subtitles in three languages are projected on a screen to help the narrative along. See Siem Reap from above. Take a seat behind one of Cambodia’s most experienced microlight pilots to see the Cambodian countryside from a birds’ eye view. Eddie Smith’s Microlight Cambodia takes paying passengers on any of a selection of flight patterns. The Authentic Village of Kompong Phluk. Only a handful of tourists make the journey by boat or bus to Kampong Phluk, which has helped the village retain much of its authenticity. This is the place to go to see daily Khmer life away from the influence of heavy tourism; come on any regular day, but try to schedule your visit to coincide with the Cambodia festival calendar. Shop at the Old Market. The riverside Psah Chas, or Old Market, combines shopping for tourists and locals alike. The half of the market bordering the riverside stocks tourist tchotchkes from floor to ceiling – silverworks, T-shirts, brass sculptures, jewelry, handbags, and art. Party after dark at the Night Market. After dark, it's less about authenticity and more about getting soused: thus the draw of Pub Street and the neighboring Night Market for Siem Reap's tippling visitors. Get buzzed over Rice Liquor. Sombai's workshop, set in a traditional Khmer wooden house, offers a modern take on a heritage tipple. Marrying the traditional Cambodian sraa tram (“soaked wine”) with modern flavored rums, Sombai sells the result in hand-painted bottles or serves it in cocktails for your pleasure.. Shudder at Relics of Human Cruelty in Wat Thmei. Siem Reap suffered horribly under the Khmer Rouge, and the area’s victims are commemorated today in Wat Thmei. A glass-walled stupa on the premises holds a mass of bones belonging to massacre victims. Like its counterpart Tuol Sleng in Phnom Penh, Wat Thmei provides a stark reminder of the insanity that ruled Cambodia in the 1970s. It’s not all bones and death here, though; the large monastery here houses a good number of monks and orphans under their care. Take A Day or More to see the Angkor Temples. Despite so many other things to do in Siem Reap, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat is still the primary draw for tourists. Constructed in the 12th century by the Khmer people working under Jayavarman II, the temples of Angkor Wat must be seen to be believed. Scores of temples - some restored and some still overgrown with jungle vines - make up the Angkor temple complex, which is about four miles north of Siem Reap. The scale of Angkor Wat is overwhelming; while a one-day pass is enough to reveal the highlights, you can buy a three- or even a seven-day pass to explore the Angkor temples in microscopic detail.
