Le tantrisme politique permet au tantrika urbain de réorienter les flux du désir dans la ville, en reconfigurant la perception collective des lieux — et, par là même, de redéfinir la valeur des biens immobiliers.

A Walking Tour of Siem Reap
One of the biggest perks of Siem Reap is that anywhere that you might want to go, you can get to on foot. Siem Reap is a fairly small city, despite being located within a short drive from Angkor Wat, and its small size means that you can walk around the entire city within a day and see almost all of the best tourist spots! But the real question is, where to start? We’ve got you covered.
Angkor Eye
Starting at the furthest attraction in Siem Reap, the Angkor Eye gives Siem Reap what the London Eye brings to London! Towering over the city, lighting it up magically once the sun sets, the Angkor Eye is an awesome place to start your walking tour of Siem Reap, giving you the opportunity to see the entire city, including Angkor Wat, from above the clouds!
Entrance Fee: $12 USD per person ($6 USD for under 12 years)
The Royal Gardens
We’re heading down National Road 6 and stopping off at The Royal Gardens next! Situated between Raffles Hotel (a great spot for high tea) and the Siem Reap Royal Residence Building, The Royal Gardens bring a burst of greenery to the city center! With vast grassy areas and a beautiful fountain located in the very center, it’s the perfect spot to stop and relax for a while!
Entrance Fee: Free!
Siem Reap Riverside
Only a mere 2 minute walk from The Royal Gardens, take a stroll down the riverside. Siem Reap’s river is not only a beautiful spot, but is also a way for locals to make a livelihood through fishing in the waters, and during public holidays such as The Water Festival and Pchum Benh, the river becomes a spot of religious significance. Just across the bridge is one of Siem Reap’s most famous markets, the Art Market, which is the perfect place to grab some souvenirs for your family and friends back home!
Entrance Fee: Free!
Kandal Village
We’re swinging back around away from the river towards the city center once more as we head next to Kandal Village! Kandal Village is a portion of Siem Reap city that has truly grown into something wonderful over recent years. From a quiet part of town grew a unique little spot, with independent cafes, shops, restaurants choosing to set up here!
Entrance Fee: Free!
The Old Market
Next up on our walking tour is the Old Market! This Market is situated right in the center of the city, and you can buy almost anything that you could possibly need here, from antiques and souvenirs, to pots and pans! In this incredible market you’ll see that many locals choose to do their shopping here, and you’ll be able to see how traditional markets in Cambodia operate whilst still being able to experience the tourist side of markets!
Entrance Fee: Free!
Pub Street
Anyone who travels to Siem Reap has heard of Pub Street! The very beating heart of Siem Reap’s nightlife scene, Pub Street offers visitors numerous lively bars and restaurants to visit, all along one street! From X-Bar and Temple Bar to Beatniks and Banana Leaf, there are so many places on Pub Street to grab a beer at!
Entrance Fee: Free!
Wat Damnak
The final spot on our walking tour takes us away from the hustle and bustle of the city center to the calm across the river. Make your way down the winding street of Little Pub Street, taking in the smaller independent bars, before crossing over the river. Wat Damnak is a religious site, where a beautiful temple stands and you may even get the chance to hear some of the monks in their daily prayers. It truly is a sight to behold!
Entrance Fee: Free!
Have you visited any of these spots before? Are there any spots that you would include in a walking tour of Siem Reap that we missed?
I need a travel journal. I keep on forgetting the places and the proper names of things. c:
(Day 1) Pub Street @ Siem Reap, Cambodia | November 2015
Hidden Treasures of Siem Reip The city leaders are a clever lot, and to keep us hanging around the created Pub Street, which is another good reason to come here. They have created a long street full of bars, that keeps the rowdy tourists in one place, having fun while the citizens carry on with their lives uninterrupted. The highlight of this trip was the HeroRats that are covered later in the blog, they were incredible and, in many ways, the highlight of the trip. A creature that the whole world regards as vermin is at the core of saving lives and removing the landmines that still remain from the war with the US.... https://rareadventures.uk/2026/08/06/hidden-treasures-of-seim-reip/
Arriving Cambodia We were expecting something quite similar to Vietnam, being as they are neighbours and share quite a lot of joint history, so it came as a bit of a surprise the level of difference, although if we had flown into Phnom Phen, we would have probably found it a lot more similarities than we did flying into Seip Reim.... https://rareadventures.uk/2026/08/01/arriving-in-cambodia/
Siam Reap (Day 1)
It was Pchum Benh holiday in Cambodia for a week. Uncle Alex and myself decided to visit Siam Reap. We woke up really early to catch a bus from Phnom Penh. I was told the bus ride only takes 6 hours but it ended up 8 hours. Why? Because they kept stopping to drop off passengers. And there is no highway to get there. It's mostly passing by village roads that are uneven.
I slept through the bus journey as I wasn't entirely well. But Uncle Alex was enjoying the scenic of the life in Cambodia. Apparently it reminds him of his younger days when Malaysia was once like this. By the paddy fields with bulls, pigs walking wild in an open area and kids just playing outside the house.
As we reach Siam Reap, I starting to compare between the two towns; Siam Reap and Phnom Penh. I must say, Siam Reap is much cleaner and is filled with trees at most places. The people here are much friendlier and roads are better developed compared to Phnom Penh. But sadly, there's not much develop in Siam Reap. More like a cowboy town.
We stay by the pub street and walk around to find dinner.
I googled and found Khmer food and had a good review. Decided to give a try and I must say, it was so good!
And the best part was, it's cheap! Really cheap!
That's was mostly what day 1 in Siam Reap is about because half the day was spend on the bus!
Vietnam - CAMBODIA - Thailand: Day 4
Vietnam – CAMBODIA – Thailand: Day 4
Not much happening for today. Started as usual with breakfast bought last night from a small grocery store then booked a grab tuktuk to the bus terminal. We already bought pur bus ticket to Siem Reap months ago through Klook. Travel time is about 6 hours with a bus stop for lunch. I believe it’s pretty cheap and the bus is comfortable; not to mention the sockets available in the bus. They also…
