There are plenty of day trips you can take from Siem Reap, for example to one of the many floating villages in a few dozen kilometers distance.

We were in Krakow when we found ourselves with two weeks to spend in any country nearby where both of us had never been before. Ukraine and Romania seemed the logical choice not only for the geographical proximity, which allowed us to take the car, but also because it would be the most different places still nearby Poland. We thought ...
