1. OVERVIEW
Siem Reap,which is located in northwestern Cambodia, means "Siam Defeated" -- in reference to long years of conflict with neighboring Thailand.
The main reason why people visit Siem Reap is that it is the gateway to the 12th century temples of the ancient city of Angkor. And though the town started registering into travelers' radar as far back as the 1960s, it is only recently that tourism has really gone well under way.
