It’s definitely not all about the awe inspiring temples at Angkor, and although that’s why many families find themselves here, there is so much more to do in Siem Reap with kids.
You should stop at the Thousand Linga River on the way down, and on the way back to Siem Reap spend some time at the stunningly beautiful pink ladies temple, Banteay Srei (part of the Angkor Archeological Park and included in your ticket price.
The traditional puppet shows will have younger kids enthralled, Angkor Roo is a show about reducing plastics in the environment and the Angkor Temples Decoded show will give you all the side tips for your visit to the park.
There are lots of clothes to buy here in Siem Reap, and we found Emmie’s favourite dress at a small stall just outside the gates of Angkor where we stopped to buy her something to cover her shoulders and legs.
