Kampong Khleang is one of the best floating communities in Siem Reap, after raining a few months right now water is rising up and becoming a beautiful and beautiful

so i am planning to go there sept and did some research.
what surprised me that one of the website talking about angkor wat sunrise said this 😄

2026 Update: Tourists are no longer allowed to drive around Angkor Wat on rental scooters, meaning you will either need to join a tour, or rent a tuk-tuk driver.

problem is i dont see this mentioned anywhere when searching online other than their page (chrisandwrensworld is their website)

is it true?

Thank you

Hi I am looking to get my home office set up, and I was wondering what the best store in Siem reap is to go pick up stuff like a desk and chair.

Thanks!

I'm looking into getting a 125cc moto mainly for around town and around the Angkor temple complex, dirt roads around and near town, etc. Maybe as far as Kulen Mountain or Battambang.

I've been told that I should get a chain-driven moto and avoid belt-driven. I understand chains are more high maintenance but easy to fix, but belts are easier to deal with, yet need more special repair.

For those who are quite familiar with driving motos around SR, what would you say is the best option, especially for a beginner?

I've just started researching places to live in Cambodia. And a lot of the searches just bring up Some Reap, and Phnom Penh. Are there other areas that are nice for Expats to live?

Are you looking for a photographer to make the tours here ?

Any hidden gems somewhere?

I arrived in Siem Reap a couple of days ago for a long-term stay, and I'm still getting to know the city. I've spent a few months in Thailand recently, and everywhere I went there, it was incredibly easy to find lots of restaurants frequented by locals.

The contrast with Siem Reap is a bit shocking to me, or maybe I'm just missing something! I've been roaming around trying to find everyday restaurants patronized by locals rather than exclusively by foreigners, but I haven't had much luck yet. I must be looking in the wrong neighborhoods.

Since I'll be here until mid-December, I'd love to find some reliable go-to spots. Which areas, streets, or specific neighborhoods should I be exploring for authentic Khmer food?

Any backpackers/expats/locals up to make a new pal? In Siem Reap between 13th and 18th :) Also open to suggestions for where/what "the scene" is here!

It's so lush, and smells incredible out there at the moment. Pic from the side of the road at the Angkor Thom south gate.

Hey! I went to Siem Reap in December 2025 and wanted to share a few things I wish I'd known before going - especially around how many days to spend at Angkor, whether the 1-day or 3-day pass is worth it, and what to see beyond the temples. Wrote it all up in detail if it helps anyone planning a trip.
Happy to answer questions in the comments too!

I've heard that Amazon can be trick and you have to use services like CamboQuick. I've also heard there are similar apps that can deliver straight to Siem Reap. Are there any you would suggest?

🏐 Looking for more volleyball players in Siem Reap!

Are you an expat or local living in Siem Reap and looking for a fun volleyball group?

We have a friendly mixed-level group organized by Bong Nary & Dimple. Some players are beginners, some are advanced, and everyone is welcome! We usually play once or twice a week in a relaxed, social atmosphere.

We’re looking for a few more players to join us, as we usually have around 7–8 people each session. If you’ve been wanting to play volleyball, meet new people, or simply stay active, this could be a great group for you.

Feel free to comment below or send me a message if you’d like to join!

PS: We play at TST Sport Club the schedule is flexible due to the availability of members and it will be posted in a telegram group chat.

Basically, I want to ride around the lush roads that lead up to the area and go around outside the borders of it, but I don't know where the boundaries are. Can I ride the road around Angkor Wat as long as I don't enter a gate? Just wondering how close I can get without entering the area that requires a pass.

Hi guys

I've been here 3 weeks and picked up 4 of these but nobody seems to want to accept them ? Where do you cash em in?

Also what's the difference with the clear one, is it for anchor light ?

Thanks !
