I forgot to mention that the Sugar Palm is a very good restaurant. Keep that one on your list.

Molly Malone's is just ok, nothing special.

Check at the FCC to see if they are having any live music while you're there. If they are, they are usually good shows.

IMO the apsara show at the Kulen Restaurant is the best dancing, though the food is not worth writing home about.

If you are in Siem Reap on a Saturday night, got out to the Beatocello presentation at the Children's Hospital. It is free to attend but it will cost you money (or blood) in the form of a donation to a very worthy cause. It will give you a different insight into life in Cambodia.

There are plenty of massage places round bar street. I like Dr Feet and Blue 7 but there are plenty of others. (Don't let the name of Blue 7 put you off - it is reputable) This is the basic $10 for 2 hours of Kymer massage experience. My daughter (who lives in Siem Reap) raves about Frangipani which is a more upmarket. There is also Seeing Hands, massage by the blind which i have not experienced but is very well reviewed.

Enjoy Cambodia, Its great! I've been twice and am returning again this year.

Thanks for the additional info.

Is there a national museum there? Worth a peek?

No, not as far as I know. The National Museum is in Phnom Penh. This is also worth attending as a side trip. Silver Pagoda, Royal Palace, Russian Market, Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng. The last two are not enjoyable but give a valuable insight into the Kymer Rouge era.

There is a National Museum in Angkor that just opened a couple of months ago. It supposedly is impressive. The building itself is supposedly gorgeous too.

One thing that I loved is just meeting the people. My guide, Ponheary, took me to meet some of the kids she helps. That was delightful.
I took my guide and driver to lunch. I really enjoyed talking to them and hearing about their lives and about Cambodia thru their eyes.
I also talked to people in my hotel. They wanted to practice English; I wanted to learn more about them and their country.
The Cambodian people are just absolutely lovely, very gracious and friendly. There is corruption in Cambodia, like many other countries. But it was interesting to hear how everyday people were combating it in their own ways. Unlike some other Asian countries, they were fighting the system rather than giving in or joining it.
Cambodia needs so much and talking to them made me want to return to do volunteer work. There is a spirituality and peacefulness of the temples, despite the crowds, that is reflected in the Cambodian people.
Talking to them was one of the most memorable experiences.

Don't miss Beng Melea.
