Where to Stay in Siem Reap: Pan Pan Saga Villa Hotel

Pan Pan Saga Villa Hotel is a budget hotel that I booked through Agoda.com. after I had to cancel my previous booking with another hotel in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The other hotel I booked was resort-type, complete with cottages and a swimming pool. Pan Pan paled in comparison, with no swimming pool, and not even a proper restaurant.

Pan Pan was able to give all of that to us, and an efficient tour of Siem Reap and the Angkor Archaeological complex.

Here are my top 10 things to do in Siem Reap beyond the Angkor Wat.

One day was not enough, and I can walk around it every day, if only to find my inner peace.
