Route Overview

SingaporeSiem Reap4 nightsPhnom Penh4 nightsSingapore
Flight from Singapore to Siem Reap (~3h)
Rent a scooter in Siem Reap! Super convenient, cheap, and you don't need a licence. It's the best way to get around the city and to the temples.

Fly from Singapore to Siem Reap, check into your hotel, and get settled. Explore the area around your hotel or grab dinner nearby. Rest up because tomorrow starts early!

Where to stay
Ratana Angkor HotelBudget-friendly

NR6, Krong, Siem Reap. Clean, central, and great value.

The Angkor Wat temple grounds are HUGE. Definitely plan transport between the different temples. Tuk-tuks are available and affordable, or rent bikes if you're feeling adventurous. A hot air balloon ride over the complex is also available!

Get there by 6am for sunrise over Angkor Wat. The temple complex is MASSIVE so plan your transport between temples. You can do a bike tour or hire a tuk-tuk for the day. Don't miss the APOPO centre where they train landmine-detecting rats!

So many options for your Siem Reap free day! Phnom Kulen National Park is a great day trip with waterfalls and ancient carvings. Phare Circus is a uniquely Cambodian performance arts show (highly recommended!). End the night at Pub Street for cheap drinks and a buzzing atmosphere.
