If you are going to be in Siem Reap on May 2 then you are in for a very unique and unusual treat! The annual Royal Ploughing Ceremony, which will be officiated by the King, has been moved from its traditional venue in Phnom Penh to Siem Reap.

It is awe inspiring to the point of being almost other-worldly, espec...

It has been many years since Nat Geo has done Angkor but they have done it again in great style. Nat Geo magazine's July issue had the Angkor empire as the cover story and they have done a wonderful job with an extensive presentation on their website as well.

One of our guests who recently used Savuth's tuk tuk services left a comment on our website about her experiences in Cambodia. Among the other things she mentioned, she was touched by the Khmer music groups made up of land mine survivors that you will see at some of the temples. She wr...

One of my favorite non-temple places to visit in Siem Reap is the McDermott Gallery in the FCC complex on Pokambar Avenue next to the Royal Residence.
