Description
On this private Siem Reap City trip, you will learn the briefing of history and the lives of locals. Let a local host show you around and experience this cultural attraction from a local perspective.
This tour is perfect for those with a little more time on their hands and those interested in the recent Cambodian history.
Pick up you at your hotel and transfer to the War Museum which houses a wide array of weapons and military vehicles collected from Cambodian battlefields and will shed a light on the recent years of turmoil and explain what shaped the country you see today. Then, visit Wat Thmei, the Memorial of Victims of the Khmer Rouge Regime and another sobering reminder of the recent, turbulent past of Cambodia. Next, go to visit Preah Enkosai Temple, was built in the 10th century under the reign of king Rajendravarman II (r. 944-968). It comprises two brick sanctuaries, the remains of two “library” buildings, and the remains of a gopura (entrance) on the east fronted by the remains of two small lions.
To lighten up the mood a little we suggest a visit to the Artisans d'Angkor workshop where skilled artists produce gorgeous pieces of lacquer, stone carvings and silver plating and seeing them at work shows the positive direction of the path Cambodia finds itself on today. If you don't find your souvenirs and gifts here then perhaps the Old Market will have what you are looking for. Browse and use your bartering skills to bring home your memories of Siem Reap. Return to hotel and drop off.
