Faux Falls

 

Located near the Ken’s Lake campground. When I was there it was during several days of thunderstorms. The water fall was really gushing. Not sure how much water when there hasn’t been rain in a while. The falls can be seen from the campground. There is a dirt road that leads right the base of the falls but you cannot drive this section. Just walk down the road. It is an easy walk.  You can also explore along side the falls and above by following several social trails.

The Sun

 

The Sun is a very nice place. Two floors all open air. Being at a corner provides a nice breeze along with the ceiling fans. I asked for up stairs and was no problem. There is a large bar on the second floor as well that over looks Pub Street.

The menu has plenty of options with both western and Khmer food.  I ordered the ham and sausage pizza. This is not typical western style ham and sausage, Either way it was excellent. So good I went back several times for it. The staff were very friendly. Nice place for lunch. Not sure how busy they would be for dinner.

Directions: No. 32, St. 11, Siem Reap, Corner of Street 11 and Street 8, near Pub Street and the Old Market.

Siem Reap

I was a bit surprised by Siem Reap. Maybe because all my research focused on Angkor. There is quite an extensive night life going on. Between the Pub Street and all the night markets, there is plenty to do in the evening.  During the day, most people visiting the area head into Angkor Archeological Park. I like to go into the park in the early morning, then return to Siem Reap late morning and relax for lunch then return to the park late afternoon. This is a great way to avoid the big crowds and also beat the heat of the day.

May 2015
Siem Reap hadn’t changed much from last year. With the exception of my first night when Pub Street was as wild as I have ever seen it. It changed drastically after that for the better and the rest of my stay was quiet for the most part. I explored some new restaurants like Khmer Touch Cuisine and Nest Angkor Cafe.  I didn’t have as much luck this trip with the Tuk Tuk driver my hotel arranged. He seemed reluctant to much of anything. The hotel though, Reaksmey Chanreas Hotel, was very nice.
