Detailed itinerary

The Cambodian-Vietnamese War Memorial in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a poignant tribute to the soldiers and civilians who lost their lives during the Cambodian-Vietnamese War, a conflict that took place from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. This memorial stands as a symbol of remembrance and gratitude for the Vietnamese soldiers who helped overthrow the Khmer Rouge regime, which was responsible for the genocide of nearly two million Cambodians.

Artisans Angkor is a well-known social enterprise and cultural organization based in Siem Reap, Cambodia, dedicated to preserving and promoting traditional Khmer craftsmanship. Established in 1998, Artisans Angkor was initially a project aimed at providing vocational training and job opportunities for young Cambodians, particularly those from rural areas, while helping to revive and sustain traditional Cambodian arts and crafts that were nearly lost during the Khmer Rouge regime.

The Royal Residence is not typically open to the public, as it is a private property reserved for the royal family. However, the surrounding area and its gardens are accessible to visitors, making it a popular spot for both locals and tourists. One of the most iconic features near the Royal Residence is the Preah Ang Chek Preah Ang Chorm Shrine, located just in front of the residence. This shrine is highly revered by the local people and dedicated to two sisters believed to be powerful spirits that protect the city. It is common to see Cambodians lighting incense, praying, and making offerings at the shrine for good luck and blessings.
