Best night walking street in SR town
This is the place to be in Siem Reap! Absolutely fun! The lively vibe of the street adds to the experience. You have got all kind of eateries here!
Very good place if you are alcohol lover & music also they have small games happening on streets to keep you busy, many place to get massage done, very cheap & pocket friendly in off seasons.
The liveliest part of Siem Reap city at night. The beer is reasonably priced i.e. not "tourist price". However, the food menu can be a bit pricey.
Happening place for night life- bars, cafes , shopping and other activities.... Best to spend evening time after full day temple tours...
