Riverside Night Market — Local services in Siem Reap

As the souvenirs stalls are selling similar stuff as in Pub Street and Old Market, we didn't go inside the Night Market after looking over the stalls on the perimeter. It was such a surprise, the lack of visitors as mid December is within peak...

Aside from visiting the famous Angkor Wat here in Siem Reap, the Riverside Night Market is where I truly feel at peace. After enjoying delicious street food and refreshing drinks, this is my go-to spot to unwind.
