Excellent guide in Siem Reap Our recent time spent in Siem Reap was made even more memorable by our expert guide, Som Piseth. Som was knowledgeable, attentive, flexible and super helpful - we learnt so much about Siem Reap and Cambodia in our 3 days with him. His English was excellent and his knowledge of, and pride in, his country was outstanding. We would highly recommend Som for anyone wanting an excellent guide in Siem Reap!

April is the time to experience Thai New Year (Songkran Festival), which is celebrated on April 13th–15th.

Streets and beaches will be very crowded and noisy as water fights happen there from time to time during Songkran. Hotels rooms and flight tickets are sold out quickly around Songkran.
