Siem Reap, Cambodia - Trip Report

Anyone flicking through my passport would notice the many Cambodia visas in it and be forgiven for thinking that it's one of my favourite countries to visit. In actual fact, yes, I have visited Cambodia many times, but on each occasion I've barely crossed the border before doing a 180 and heading straight back in the opposite direction.

All of my previous "visits" to Cambodia were border runs due to my Thailand visa expiring. Recently I decided that for all the times I'd officially visited Cambodia I should actually go there properly and see some of the country. I'd heard a lot of good things from other travellers about temple ruins near Siem Reap. It simply had to be better than my only previous experience of the country, the sketchy border town of Poi Pet, so off I went.
