The Rundown
A few other interesting places to note in Siem Reap:
The Floating Forest - a forest near the Tonel Sap which is submerged in about 3 meters of water during rain season. It's incredible. More expensive and much less touristy than the floating village, but so worth it. You take a small boat for $5 through the dense forest areas, it's like nothing I've ever seen. You can even go swimming, as two monkey boys I know did. It's something between swimming and climbing trees. I simply did the tree nymph thing, sitting on a branch, dipping my feet into the cold water (unusual for Cambodia).
FCC - a bit touristy, but I found the FCC really nice! I was spoiled by the sangria (during half price happy hour), the butternut squash soup, and the fantastic desserts. Some baller Cambodian tour guides also drink here. The pool table and Bangkok Times are free. Though there really weren't any foreign correspondents anywhere, rendering the place a little phoney and simply a nice fancy post-colonial enterprising relic.
Zone One - THE place to dance in Siem Reap. Yes, they might play the same music night after night. You might see a couple tourists, and even a couple lady boys. But shit, Zone One is so much fun.
