About Siem Reap for Solo Travelers
The gateway to Angkor — solo travelers rise before dawn to watch the world's largest religious monument reflect in the moat, then spend days cycling between a thousand-year-old jungle temple complex that seems to have no end.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Siem Reap is one of Southeast Asia's most solo-friendly cities — the tuk-tuk drivers are reliable and will become your personal guide for the week, the Pub Street hostel scene is very social, and Angkor Wat at sunrise is one of the world's great solo experiences. Rent a bicycle to explore the outer temple circuit independently. The night market and Phare Circus make excellent solo evenings.
