Tours around Siem Reap allow tourists to experience a slice of life in the villages of Cambodia. Local village tours take you into the countryside, away from the bustle of the city.

Village Tours often include visits to the Artizans d’Angkor Silk Farm.

Neak Poan is a small Buddhist temple on a circular island on the banks of the Jayatataka lake, originally built as a reservoir. It was built in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII.

The temple rests in the lake's center and is reached via a footbridge.

Within the complex is a well-preserved library, as well as the satellite temple of Prasat Chrey. A day trip to Prasat Beng Mealea can also include a visit to the nearby ancient city of Koh Ker or a visit to Kulen Mountain. Read More
