The local population is mainly occupied in the service sector: works by Drivers of Tuk-Tukov, in hotels, restaurants, trades in the shops, or offers guide services. If it were not for Angkor, the town would be lost among thousands of those like him in Asia. An Angkore here reminds the names of many hotels and restaurants. Despite the small, according to Asian standards, sizes, the city has its own international airport. For the year, Siem Rip attends about two million tourists.
The resort is not expensive, and accessible to everyone. Tourists with different financial capabilities will be able to find suitable accommodation. Despite its popularity, the city does not seem crowded, because mostly people come for a few days in Angkor, and go on. In this rip, you can come with children, but I would not take them in Angkor. I'm afraid for children it will be too tiring if it is a hot day, as well as there is a danger to get injured.
Those who like the story and ancient architecture, who seek to know the secrets of forgotten civilizations come in Siem Rip. This is not the place where you can roll on the beach or swim in the pool. Arriving in Siem Rip, you will not leave the feeling of the upcoming adventure and adventurism. And I am sure that Angkor will open your secrets to you.
