Store Your Luggage Around Siem Reap With Bounce

Siem Reap is the capital city of the province of the same name and is located in northwestern Cambodia. The city's name translates to “defeat of Siam,” and is a cluster of tiny villages along the Siem Reap River. It is filled with Chinese and colonial-style architecture. Siem Reap is one of Cambodia’s most visited cities, welcoming more than two million tourists every year. It is among the top tourist destinations in Southeast Asia, with plenty of hotels, restaurants, and other businesses being built in the area to cater to the needs of the tourists. 

The city’s booming industry can be mainly attributed to the world-renowned Angkor temples, particularly the Angkor Wat, which is Siem Reap’s biggest attraction. This UNESCO World Heritage Site contains the fascinating remains of the Khmer civilization. Aside from its magnificent temples, Siem Reap has a wealth of activities beyond the ancient ruins. The city has a vibrant nightlife, historical museums, and other unique cultural experiences.

Top Things to Do

While there is no doubt that the Angkor temples are the main draw of Siem Reap, there are several other interesting attractions and activities here. From museums to markets and restaurants, the following are excellent spots to spend some time when in the city:

Museums

• Angkor National Museum: Undoubtedly one of Siem Reap’s most important museums, the Angkor National Museum takes you on a trip back to the Golden Era of the Khmer empire. The facility uses state-of-the-art technology to document the history of the city under the Khmer kingdom. Angkor National Museum has eight galleries that contain ancient artifacts, statues, and other significant pieces from the Golden Era. (Bag policy: Bags are not allowed inside the museum. To avoid hassle during your visit, look for a Bounce partner near the museum and store your things there.)
• Cambodia Landmine Museum: After the defeat of Khmer Rouge, thousands of undetonated landmines were left behind all over Cambodia, and as a result, thousands of people have accidentally been killed. An estimated 5 million landmines are believed to be scattered around the country, which is why the Cambodia Landmine Museum was formed. This unique facility houses an impressive collection of landmines and other weapons utilized during the regime of Pol Pot. The museum aims to bring awareness and to educate guests about the importance of clearing dormant landmines. (Bag policy: Size limits are imposed on guests’ bags. For a hassle-free experience, drop off your things at a Bounce location beforehand.)
• War Museum Cambodia: True to its name, the War Museum Cambodia is an excellent museum in Siem Reap that gives guests an insight into horrific civil wars that took place in the country. In the facility, guests will come face-to-face with some actual artillery, weapons, vehicles, and other equipment used during the war. What’s more interesting about this museum is that they employ war veterans as guides to give guests a personal and in-depth understanding of the war. (Bag policy: Oversized bags, backpacks, or luggage are prohibited inside the museum. Instead, you can leave your things with Bounce.)

Shopping

The shopping scene in Siem Reap is fun, interesting, and easy on the pocketbook. Don’t expect luxury stores or upscale malls (although a few have sprung up over the years); the shopping is more authentic and involves a lot of markets and locally-owned shops. The following are some great shopping spots in Siem Reap:

• Psah Chas (Old Market): It is one of the Siem Reap’s oldest markets, located right in the heart of the city. At Psah Chas, you can find plenty of local products such as silks, souvenirs, handicrafts, spices, silverware, and more. You can also some fresh produce and other ready-to-eat street food in case you go hungry while shopping.
• Angkor Night Market: With more than 240 vendors huddled in one area, Angkor Night Market is definitely a highlight in Siem Reap. The market, founded in 2007, boasts an array of pieces and items, including souvenirs, handmade tapestries, stone carvings, wardrobe, and more. 
• Artisan D’Angkor: This social company is more than just a business; it hosts workshops to teach young Cambodians an artistic trade to help them find jobs. In fact, you can visit their shop and watch the students learn how to make garments, silk fabrics, silver plating, lacquerware, wood carving, and more. You can also purchase the finished products at the store along with other cool Cambodian finds.
