You\u00a0might think that Angkor Wat is the most impressive thing about Siem Reap, but here’s a newsflash: The Cambodian city is far more than a temple town<\/a>. I would know – two months ago, my knowledge of it was limited to its ancient ruins. But my\u00a0stay and tailored itinerary with Shinta Mani Club<\/a> opened my eyes to the real world, where Siem Reap is a cultural wonderland\u00a0worth exploring beyond its temples.<\/p>\n

Widely known as the gateway to Angkor Wat, Siem Reap’s a historical\u00a0marvel – dig deeper and I promise you’ll be fascinated by tales of its Golden Age and dark days.
