Siem Reap is located in northwestern
Cambodia, along the banks of the
Siem Reap river.
It gets its name from a Khmer phrase meaning ‘defeat of Siam’: a reference to an ancient conflict between Khmer and Siam (present-day
Thailand).
This settlement is really more a group of villages than a city as such, although it is second in size only to
Phnom Penh.
