THINGS TO DO

The things worth doing in Siem Reap, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.

APOPO Visitor Centre

Live demonstrations of the rats trained to sniff out landmines. Open daily 8.30am to 5pm, last tour 4.30pm, $10, and booking ahead helps.

Cambodia Landmine Museum

Defused ordnance and the long story of clearance work, 25km out on the Banteay Srei road. Open daily 7.30am to 5.30pm, $7 for foreigners.

Artisans Angkor

Working silk, lacquer and stone carving workshops with guided visits daily from 7.30am to 6pm. The attached shop costs more than the market.

Angkor National Museum

Air conditioned run through Khmer sculpture and Angkorian history, best done before the temples. Open daily from 8.30am, closing around 6pm.

Kampong Phluk Stilt Village

Houses standing several metres up on stilts above the Tonle Sap floodplain, reached by boat. Water is highest from September to November.
