You’re halfway through your stay and have already enjoyed a jaw-dropping sunrise at Angkor Wat, explored some of Angkor’s other famous temples, and you’ve have seen the circus show of a lifetime. So, what else to do in Siem Reap? Discover Siem Reap with The Aviary Hotel.

Day 3

On your third day, you deserve to sleep in a little and indulge in a delicious breakfast at Plumage Restaurant. After breakfast, take a tuk tuk to the Angkor National Museum to learn more about the history of Angkor. The museum is dedicated to the collection and preservation of Angkorian artifacts, presented in eight separate galleries, which are all connected by a corridor with a series of fountains and lined with the Angkorian limestone lion and demon heads you might recognize from your temple visit yesterday. Upon arrival, get your audio guide and you’re all set for a journey into history.

Located next to the museum you’ll find T-Gallery, Siem Reap’s Duty-Free Store, the perfect place for your souvenir shopping. Free shuttles back to the hotel are available, so you do not need to worry about that; just focus on shopping.

In the late afternoon, embark on a cruise and enjoy a stunning sunset dinner on the great Tonle Sap lake; the largest freshwater lake in South-East-Asia, circled by no less than five provinces of Cambodia and providing income from fishing and farming to more than three million Cambodians.

When you get back to shore it’s time to explore Pub Street, which is within walking distance of the hotel. Wander around the markets and have a drink (or more) before heading back to The Aviary Hotel.

Day 4

After you kick-started your final day in Siem Reap with another delightful breakfast, we recommend you visit Banteay Srei, the citadel of women. The temple is remotely located and a bit smaller than most temples in Angkor. Reason for this is that the temple is believed to be built by a priest, as opposed to the other temples which were built by kings. In ancient times, it was disrespectful to build a monument larger and grander than a royal sponsored temple. Take a good look at the carvings of this pinkish sandstone temple, they’re truly exquisite.

Next, pay a visit to Theam’s House Atelier and Gallery, the designer of the colorful elephants in the hotel’s hallways, and treat yourself to some Khmer art as souvenir and memory of an incredible trip. Depending on your departure time, you can squeeze in another temple visit, or enjoy a well-deserved break at the hotel’s pool, while enjoying a refreshing beverage and some light bites. If your flight doesn’t take-off till in the evening, make sure to enjoy happy hour at the pool, starting at 5PM.
