Cambodia's Famous Pub Street in Siem Reap


Southeast Asia is notorious for street vendors and markets. It's part of the culture and for most, a way of life. Visiting Cambodia's pub street is a testament to the hard work ethic of the Cambodian people. Here you can find just about everything you are after in a market. In this area there are great tourist souvenirs for an affordable price, local food to eat, snacks, drinks, clothes, you name it There are things here that you won't see in many other places. There are bottled solutions (not sure if it's liquor) with cobra's in them, real taxiderm crocodiles, and upscale knock off brand ladies items. We really enjoyed the dried mangos, the lemongrass peanuts, and the cheap t-shirts. Located in Siem Reap you can eat all kinds of different types of foods here. The Mexican restaurants are even good. Expect to be pestered by the vendors but don't be offended or irritated as this is their means to making money. Similarly, don't feel rude by not acknowledging every solicitation during your peruse.

Burger King Siem Reap Cambodia



This BK was cleaner than any BK I've seen in either other SE Asian Countries or the US. The price was reasonable and the food was tasty. We were hungry from traveling and site seeing all day to this really hit the spot for us. Friendly and professional workers there. They even had a parking lot attendant outside who keeps everyone's scooters and vehicles in order as well as their helmets. On one occasion I saw him covering up some scooters with piece of cardboard and turning over helmets so as they wouldn't fill up with rain. I gave him a small tip for his efforts. Great operation here.
