Siem Reap - Pub Street 2

One of the most popular pubs on Pub Street is Angkor What ? It is packed every night. The walls are covered in graffiti, and guests are welcomed to leave messages on the walls, tables, chairs, everywhere !

Angkor What ? has a frat house vibe, and attract mostly the younger crowd - most likely frat boys and girls on their break from Uni - intent on having fun. In keeping with the communal spirit, you can order the beer served in a spitoon. Everyone drinks from the same spitoon with straws.









Siem Reap - Pub Street

Unsurprisingly, Siem Reap has a lively nightlife. Those millions of tourists need places to go at night, and there is no shortage of night spots and drinking holes here.

One great thing about Siem Reap is that most of the night spots are concentrated in one place - the Pub Street. Here you will find all kinds of pubs, cafes and restaurants serving Western fare like steaks and hamburgers to local Khmer food. Khmer hot pot seems to be very popular with the tourists. The twist is that besides the usual stuff, they serve exotic meat such as snake, crocodile, ostrich, etc.

The Red Piano is a very popular cafe pub - Angelina Joli used to hang out here when she was filming Tomb Raider.
















































































We met 4 fellow Malaysians on the trip. 4 lovely girls from Kuala Lumpur. 2 of them are actually from Sarawak. It's a small World ! From left - Connie, YC, Nicole and Tiffany. I know they've been waiting for this post, so here goes !

















The World Lounge is their favourite haunt on Pub Street. It's a nice and cosy cafe pub, great for lounging around, watching the World go by. The beer is really cheap - only US 75 cents per mug.
