Siam Reap is home to the famous Temples of Angkor. They are magnificent and can take a long time to look around them all. We went there for sun rise so we would have all day there, but unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side so we did not get the postcard picture of Angkor Wat. However it was nice to do some of the walking around before the sun came out. We ended with the temple best known from the film Tomb Raider. It was beautiful with tree roots growing through the walls and breaking through the grounds of the temple. We also climbed to the top of another one, which was a little scary as the steps were almost vertical but the tranquility at the top made it worth it.
Apart from the temples there is not much else to do. There is a small market there and plenty of nice places to eat and drink. We also stayed in a brilliant hostel which had everything a traveller could need, indoor swimming pool, friendly and helpful staff, lots of communal areas to meet other travellers, giant jenga and connect four, TV, free pool table, darts, great food... think ive got my point across.
