Cambodia nightlife - going out in Siem Reap
For a town as small as Siem Reap, it is always fascinating to see how many ways there are to spend the night. In the south of the city is a street called "Bar Street" because of its many bars, each with its own charm. Most of these bars have a happy hour. Conventional entertainment is offered, for example, at the Piano at the Grand Hotel d'Angkor, while traditional music is played at the Dead Fish Tower.
Many restaurants and hotels offer cultural performances in the evening, especially classical Cambodian dance. There are nightly performances at the Grand Hotel d'Angkor, the Apsara Theatre, the Angkor Mondial or the Chao Pra Ya, for example. Shadow puppet shows are offered at Bayon 1 and La Noria Hotel. There are also a few nightclubs in Siem Reap, such as Martini (Achasva Street), Bakeng Night Club or Sok San (Sivutha Street), which is always crowded and loud.

Located on Charles de Gaulle Boulevard, the Angkor National Museum provides an interesting insight into the splendor of the ancient Khmer empire. The museum offers vivid explanations of the history, religious significance and political and cultural greatness of Angkor Wat.
About 20 km from Siem Reap, on the road to Bateay Srei, is the Cambodian Landmine Museum. It impressively displays a large number of mines and shells that still plague the country, which is still home to four to six million mines today. The museum not only explains how the mines, grenades and bombs work and their destructive power, visitors can even try their hand at searching for hidden, inactive mines in the museum's garden.
