VIMEAN SOKHA MUSEUM — Attraction in Siem Reap

This is the most remarkable collection of domestic twentieth century technology I have ever come across. And there are some remarkable objects more than 200 hundred years old but you must come see for yourself. Mr Lee, the owner, collector and curator should be given an honoury degree. It is the most beautifully designed space with careful and methodical organisation such that is as if we had walked into an Aladdin’s cave from the past. Many objects have been cleverly re-constructed from no more that photographs after all originals were destroyed due to war and conflict. Mr Lee is a genius in the true sense of the word. His remarkable attention to detail combined with a sensitivity to refinement and authenticity has allowed him to bring back to life, objects that may otherwise have disappeared forever. Together with what he has cleverly crafted, are unique cameras, coffee grinders, lanterns, telephones, and musical instruments either donated or collected by Mr Lee. I can’t begin to list everything. And as I said, there are some true surprises...

I visited this museum and wanted to enter until I found out that I pay double the entrance price because I'm white and not Cambodian. You Pay 2 x more because of your skin color ! Yes you would have payed 2.5 USD $ otherwise. This is discrimination. 5$ won't hurt me but where does it stop soon 10x more 20x more. If you don't believe me go to Costa Rica where you are treated as the cow that needs constant milking another example are the resorts in Cancun where things are more expensive than in the US Please vote with your wallet and don't go or if you must don't spend extra money on food, souvenirs etc. I spoke to the owner Mr Lee who's very friendly but he didn't understand my point, he said everyone does it so why shouldn't I. I explained that it's unjust and that I would not support this behavior and his business. His answer was no problem! The consequent is this review. So choose which your wallet or be discriminated against while you get smiled at. My visit...

I stumbled upon this museum while exploring Siem Reap, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. The museum is a treasure trove of antiques! From ancient motorcycles, bikes, clocks, cameras, and musical instruments to traditional jewelry, every piece tells a fascinating story about human ingenuity.

The collection of motorcycles and cameras is incredible, perfect for enthusiasts. It’s amazing to see how the design of cameras has evolved over the years while still retaining some classic elements.

What intrigued me the most is that the owner personally collected and takes care of all these items. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in Siem Reap.

Oh! And the entrance fee is just 10,000 riel, which is...
