Siem Reap is not big and serves as a base for visits to the monuments and most of the buildings within the town are recent, including luxury hotels and tourism outlets catering to the overseas visitors that are attracted to the historical monuments. Its recent history has been turbulent to say the least but todays Siem Reap is a peaceful place.Siem Reap is small enough to walk around, safe enough to be out after dark, close enough to world-famous monuments and its people hospitable.
