Nara Sojourn Boutique Villas Siem Reap

Caution here for the casual traveler: this delightful Phsa Kraom Market is not designed for most foreigners; it is a true functioning wet market for locals. From dawn until early evening this place is thronged by locals who come to buy their fresh vegetables, fruit, fish, and various delicacies. there are also quite a number of vendors selling prepared foods that provide low cost snacks or entire meals for families. there are very few foods that you cannot find here; the selection is staggering, especially if you arrive earlier in the day. At lunch they close off parts of the inner Market and vendors migrate to the peripheries and onto the side streets. As with any chaotic large market, it's fun to wander but it's also necessary to keep your wits about you and your valuables tucked away. Floors are often wet and uneven, signs are not in English or French. Smells and flies and levels of

Phsa Kroum Market (also spelled Psah Krom) is a bustling local market in Siem Reap, offering a true taste of everyday Cambodian life. Unlike the more touristy markets in the city, this spot is where locals shop for fresh produce, meats, spices, and street food at affordable prices. Highlights: ✔️ Authentic Local Experience – This is not a tourist market; you’ll see Cambodians buying groceries, grabbing breakfast, or enjoying a quick snack. ✔️ Delicious Street Food – Try Khmer noodles, grilled meats, fresh fruits, and traditional sweets. The fried bananas (chek chien) and num pang (Cambodian sandwiches) are must-tries! ✔️ Affordable Prices – Much cheaper than markets like Psar Chaa (Old Market), making it great for budget travelers. ✔️ Fresh Produce & Seafood – Vibrant selection of tropical fruits, vegetables, and live fish. Things to Note: ⚠️ Not a Tourist Market – Few vendors speak En

Great local market for tourists and for residents alike. Always a hot cheap snack available, a wide range of fresh meats seafood poultry and other delights such as turtle and snake. Typical market trinkets, cloth, housewares, all cheaper than the central Siem reap market.

Truly local market. A bit chaotic, but very natural in its own way. The meat and seafood area can be a bit dirty and uncomforting for some people. There are frogs getting skinned live. One frog is still jumping around after that and got chopped into pieces right away. There are various snacks and small eateries in the market. A fairly exotic experience sitting and eating along with local people.

I have just returned to Siem Reap and had a very good meal at a very basic food shop today. I eat and shop in this market area quite often. It is a bit chaotic and rough but that makes it a true Cambodian experience. Many locals shop here to take the prepared food and vegetables home. Traffic can be fairly heavy and the road has many potholes, so be careful of where you step.

I had a deep tissue massage at The Secret Eden Spa and it was excellent. The therapist really knew what she was doing, and the pressure was perfect. The spa itself has a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere with beautiful surroundings. For the quality of the massage, the price is very reasonable. A great place to unwind in Siem Reap,highly recommended!

A truly amazing experience. Incredibly good service. I was picked up by shuttle before my treatment and taken back to the hotel afterward. The massages were the best I've ever had anywhere in the world. My therapist, Sokhea, found exactly the most painful spots and treated them precisely. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone. Thank you so much! 🙏

Had such a nice, relaxing time. The whole vibe is super calm and peaceful, and it’s really easy to just switch off and enjoy. The treatment was great and I left feeling so refreshed. The staff were really friendly and made everything comfortable. Definitely recommend if you want to chill and treat yourself!

We feel Blessed to have stumbled onto this amazing spa. Set in a peaceful lane you are immediately at peace hearing the sound of water. Step Into the reception area you are greeted with warmth and immediately served a iced tea and provided with a iced face flannel. The massage rooms are well maintained and roomy with separate toilet. The therapists are professional and well trained. All in all a fabulous experience and after having a few massages around Siem Reap this spa clearly heads and tails above the rest.

Great value. Therapists were professional and the facilities were clean and nice treatment rooms. We went twice during our time in Siem Reap for massages and body scrubs. Both were excellent. We booked same day treatments through their WhatsApp number. Fast communication. Recommended.

A great Google Maps find in a slightly quieter part of the Siem Reap centre. The ambience had a nice rustic charm about it, but it was the food and service that stood out for us. My family and I tried several local dishes - the signature rice crackers, fried shrimp fritters, wok fried rice, and the beef lok lak. All of which we enjoyed! They saw that we were out of dipping sauce for our appetisers and didn’t hesitate to ask if we would like some more at no extra cost. Prices were also surprisingly affordable for the quality and portion size. The hospitality here is top notch, with the staff even walking us out as we left. Highly recommended for those visiting Siem Reap and are looking for somewhere more secluded yet only a stone’s throw away from Pub Street.

One of the best eateries in Siem Reap. Great local and Western food at very reasonable prices...but book in advance as its always busy. Service is probably the best we've had in Cambodia, the fit out is really cool, feels like a high end restaurant in Melbourne or London. For starters we had the rice cakes and the Shrimp. Both traditional dishes. Shrimp wasnt great but thats the dish, no faulton the kitchen. The pepper sauce with it was delicious. The sauce that came with the rice crackers was amazing and worth the price of admission alone. For mains, we had a Beef Saraman curry which you don't see on menus as often as you should. Was excellent. The Amok was one of the best I've had. The banana spring rolls were a great way to end the meal. The brownie pot however needed more ice cream as it was a little rich and dry. Was hoping it would be gooey inside but unfortunately not. Cheap

Old Maison in Siem Reap was probably the highlight of my trip to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. In my opinion, the food prices are quite affordable, while drinks are a bit pricey (though that might be normal in Cambodia). The restaurant itself is nice and शांत, with a peaceful atmosphere. As for the food, I really loved the French fries. The fried rice gets an 8/10 — the rice was great, but the chicken was a bit dry. The service, however, was excellent. From the moment we arrived, the staff warmly welcomed us with smiles and guided us to our table. They regularly checked in to make sure everything was okay. I couldn’t finish my chicken rice because the portion was quite large, and the staff even came over to ask if there was any issue with the food — which I found very thoughtful. This restaurant truly deserves a 10/10 for its amazing team. The entrance is a bit hidden, so without Google M

Excellent introduction to local Khmer cuisine. The meatballs and rice crackers were great starters that really whet our appetites for dinner. We enjoyed the lok lak and fish amok for the mains too. The staff were all very attentive and friendly and gave us an enjoyable dinner experience. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a taste of Khmer food.

I came to this restaurant because of the reviews... and they were not wrong. Everything was just perfect. The staff are so lovely and attentive. The decor and ambience was spot on. The menu had a great choice of dishes and it was hard to decide but in the end I went for the shrimp fritters and the saraman curry. There were 3 good sized fritters....I managed nearly 3 and they were tasty and came with a fabulous pepper dip. The saraman curry was excellent. So many flavours hitting my taste buds it was unreal 😊. Excellent value for money and I will definitely return before I leave Siem Reap.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to SM Art. It is a wonderful museum, thoughtfully created by our Cambodian people and especially made with pride and creativity. The museum has a unique atmosphere, filled with handmade artworks that reflect our culture and identity. Every piece feels special and tells its own story, which makes the experience even more memorable. What I really love about SM Art Centre is that it is not just a museum it represents the passion and pride of local artists. It is a great place to learn more about Cambodian art and support our community at the same time. If you are visiting Siem reap, Cambodia, don’t miss this place. It’s inspiring, authentic, and absolutely worth your time.

I recently checked out SM Museum, and honestly, it’s a nice surprise in Siem Reap. The space is clean, creative, and a bit different from the usual temple visits. You can take your time walking through the exhibits, and some rooms are actually pretty fun to explore and take photos. For locals, it’s only $2.5, and $5 for foreigners, which feels very reasonable for the experience. If you’re visiting Siem Reap and want something more modern to mix into your trip, this is worth stopping by. It’s simple, but in a good way—you just enjoy the space at your own pace.

Tickets cost $5 per person for non-Cambodians. Half that price for students and locals. The museum itself could take 45 minutes if you really took your time. Great QR code guide available in seceral languages. The gift shop at the end is a display in itself, although it does border on the "craft tourism" shops that are quite common in the city. The building, cafe, and garden out front are stellar. I don't want to dog on this newly opened facility too hard, but I did find the layout and flow to be rather difficult. The performance artist (and founder) being the first exhibit, and revealing the medium of the main exhibit (good lord the top floor was remarkable), softened the blow in my opinion. Likely just a style / preference of my own, but it took me some time to wipe away the 'on the nose' work and settle into something abstract and immersive. Kind of felt like someone explaining the

It’s a valuable visit for anyone with a little idea of the dark history of Cambodia since late 1960’s and surely art loving one must be. The place is constantly evolving and 10 minutes of silence around the art itself makes one reflect. Human struggles, the cost of peace and freedom.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Malin and her team. I selected the painting workshop and ended up having a 1:1 session with Malin. She explained how to create a beautiful piece of art work based on the flowers and foliage in the peaceful garden surrounding the workshop. I also got to keep my canvas as a souvenir. Will forever remember her kindness.

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to and best dinning experience I’ve ever had. I was worried that they would not have any vegan options, however, they have the best vegan options I have ever seen. There is a whole separate menu dedicated for vegans. The vegan cheese was excellent! I had one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten! Our waitress Sara was amazing! She was so kind, knowledgeable about the menu, helpful, attentive to every detail to make sure everything was perfect, and gave us the best service. The whole staff was kind, professional and very attentive. The atmosphere is elegant, romantic, extremely clean, and unique. Very high end fine dinning feel, however, the price is very nice and the portion size was very good. Best place for a romantic evening, dinner with friends, or with the whole family. 10 out of 10 here!

A wonderful restaurant, it feels just like being in Italy! The staff is lovely, and we’d especially like to thank Sothea, the manager, who kindly treated us to dessert for my birthday! The food is incredible, and the pasta is exquisite. 100% Recommended 🤩

The pasta and pizzas were very fresh and beautifully presented! We had the papadelle, pesto, and pizzas and some cocktails which were delicious. Rosa our server was very helpful and kind especially as we had a toddler with us— she was so sweet and made sure he was entertained and had fun! The ambience was beautiful and very relaxing and elegant as well.

Our FAVOURITE restaurant, even over Italy! We came 3 times in our 5 nights in Siem Reap and wish this place was nearer home (eg in the UK). Everything was perfect, the setting, the food, the service and the prices so reasonable. We would probably travel back here just for this restaurant.

They have an extra completely vegan menu. Had multiple dishes and all were amazing. Great service as well. Highly recommended.

This establishment provides a valuable opportunity to observe the creation of traditional Cambodian crafts firsthand. Visitors are able to walk through the designated workshop areas and watch the skilled artisans as they work. This open layout allows you to see the intricate crafting process right in front of you, offering a clear and educational look at the specific techniques required to produce these regional arts. After viewing the live demonstrations, guests can proceed to the on-site store where the finished products are displayed and available for purchase. The shop features a wide selection of authentic, handmade pieces that serve as excellent souvenirs to take home. Having the option to buy these traditional crafts directly from the source is highly convenient and ensures authenticity. The facility is well-organized, maintaining a logical flow from the manufacturing stations to

Went in off peak season and got a personalized tour of the facility. They do stone, wood, and metal carvings with another section that does silk weaving and another one painting. All are explained in great detail, and you can walk through the workshops. There is also a station you can try carving a piece of stone. The gift shop is very large and has samples of what they do there. Entry is free. Takes about 45 mins for the tour. Prices are higher than other places, but this is also legitimate and from the artisans themselves. They can ship worldwide. Lots of Buddha stuff but they also have shawls, stone carvings, paintings, and a few locally made clothes. Worth stopping by if you have a hour to fill. The facility has been there over 30 years from what I understood.

Had absolutely amazing experience with a guide during the workshop showing. The people are beyond talented and very welcoming. The sculptures, silk workshop and painting are breathtakingly beautiful and represent Cambodian culture well. Couldn’t help but found myself thinking about attending workshop myself. Highly recommend. You can also visit coffee shop and buy items in a store

I went to the Artisans D’Angkor is a great handcrafted center and professional sculpture with wonderful things event shopping. It was convenient for souvenirs if everyone expected to looking for. I highly recommend this place and need.

Fantastic place, 100% recommend!! Beautiful sculptures in Wood, Stone, Copper and woven silk fabric, great information and layout, very impressed, really enjoyed my time there, all the artisans were very welcoming and happy to show their work and allow photos!!

I’ve joined an open groupclass and enjoyed the experience very much! Coaches were patient and professional. They borrowed me all the equipment I needed. I find it suitable for different skill levels. If I had more time in Siem Reap I would definately come again.

Patient with beginners and very supportive. Well worth making time to visit to blow off the cobwebs or ger some training in. Just be sware there are multiple mr ly's when searching for a ride there. Make sure it is the right one ( past pub street and over the river). Highly recommend this gym.

An excellent high value authentic Kun Khmer training facility catering for all levels of experience- with excellent coaches, champion fighters training alongside and friendly professional management. This is the real deal. Thank you MR.LY Team. I’ll be baack 😊👊

Super good value for money both classes or if you just want to use the gym it's only 0.75 $ per time. The equipment is not the newest but overall it's a great place to come and train Kun Khmer, Boxing or just using the gym.

I trained at Mr Ly for two months in 2022, right as we were coming out of lockdown. It was a really memorable experience; we were doing three ten minute sparring rounds every afternoon, followed by clinching. All of that ring time pushed my abilities to a whole new level. I hope they're still training at the same intensity, and I hope to come back some day!

We went to Wild together with my girlfriend for Valentine's evening. We had a great time! The atmosphere is really peaceful & cosy with nice décor. Cocktail are creative and food is delicious. These are not typical spring roll, they really put effort into the menu. The staff is much more professional compared to other well established places in Siem Reap. The owners were not there on that night but things were running super smoothly. I was also able to pay with Google pay / credit card which is worth mentioning in Siem Reap. Overall this was our best diner in Siem Reap. Will be back next time to taste the deserts

Wow!! This restaurant is a MUST if you are ever in Siem Reap. Loved the freshness of the fresh rice paper spring rolls. We chose Monsoon Rainbow and the first mouthful was an explosion of flavour! For the deep fried spring rolls we chose King Jayavarman. The different texture and simple flavours contrasted beautifully to the fresh rolls. As others have suggested it’s a great option to pick both the fresh and deep fried when dining. We finished off with dessert, and couldn’t pass the Banana Wonder Spring Rolls. They were amazing and the accompanying sauces complimented so well. The restaurants beautiful decor and garden setting made the whole experience a wonderful experience.

We had an excellent experience! It’s a fun concept based on many different types of spring rolls. If you’re a spring roll enthusiast (we are!) you’ll have a great time, and even if you’re not, they might be able to convert you 😉 Super good food, beautiful decor and ambiance, friendly and fast service, this place is so good. I wish we could have gone a second time, but we were visiting and didn’t have a chance!! Oh well… Thanks guys, we really enjoyed it 🙏 I got the “mama mia” rolls and also the vegetarian option on the Khmer menu. (Oh also, there are vegetarian options 👍👍). The mocktails were great too, I got the “California Kiss” and loved it.

My husband and I came to Siem Reap for four days, and by a happy coincidence, out of all the places on my list, we chose Wild as the very first spot to eat. We loved it so much that we ended up dining here every single day—either in the bar itself or ordering delivery to our hotel 🥰 The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was especially sweet, and the team’s overall sense of hospitality truly stood out—it felt genuine, warm, and effortless. The food was absolutely delicious. We especially loved that many dishes had traditional touches, which made the experience feel both authentic and exciting. We honestly wanted to try everything on the menu—and ended up overeating more than once, simply because we wanted to savor these flavors as much as possible while we could. I already know I will deeply miss my favorite spring rolls… and perhaps never taste anything quite l

Creative and tasty twists on spring rolls along with good selections of drinks. I am surprised with their fresh rolls creations. Enjoyable and nice! Tried and enjoyed three of their fresh rolls. My favorite is the Monsoon. Highly recommended.
