The temples of Angkor might be its most popular drawcard but for this very hungry family, Cambodia’s epicurean enchantments come a close second. Cambodian cuisine has, in recent decades, lived in the shadow of its two culinary heavyweight neighbours, Thailand and Vietnam, but the culinary foundation of both cuisines was Angkor, when Southern Vietnam and […] Read more…

With so many resorts and hotels on offer, choosing where to stay in Siem Reap can be tricky. But for families, there is no surpassing the Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort.
