Siem Reap Location

The sights of Siem Reap are every bit as charming as the sites of Angkor Wat are impressive. Top left, the North Korean bodyguards charged with keeping King Norodom Sihanouk safe from harm enjoy a game of kickfeather with local teen-agers outside the Royal Villa. Below, a basket maker gets her wares ready for market. The Siem Reap River, top right, provides recreation, washing facilities and water for local livestock as well as a romantic view for local restaurants. Below, a young man shows off the morning’s hatch at the Crocodile Farm and below him, a toddler clings to the back of her mother’s bicycle, protected from the sun by a traditional Khmer krama scarf.
