How to get there
To get from Siem Reap International Airport to Karma Bayon, the quickest and easiest way is to
take a taxi from straight outside the airport. Alternatively, our Karma Concierge team can organise
a transfer for you. The drive is around 60 minutes, we do not recommend taking a local tuk-tuk for
this length of journey with your luggage.

in the dry season? The homes, schools, and markets transform, whimsically positioned on towering
stilts!

the village on stilts.

Khmer dishes to international cuisine. Just a short stroll away, the Old Market is a treasure trove of

handmade crafts, souvenirs, and unique Cambodian street food.

Battambang Day Trip
Around 2 hours from Siem Reap (it’s worth the road trip, trust us), is the unique city of Battambang.
Two unmissable activities here include:
• Bamboo Train: This old train track constructed of bamboo is not for the faint-hearted, as you sit
upon the open-air bamboo seats through the jungle. The end of the line boasts charming souvenir
shops with plenty of friendly locals to chat with.
• Bat Caves: Be sure to hang around Battambang until sunset, when the famous bat caves come
alive. Winding streams of bats leave the lush cave for their nightly flight, as tourists and locals
alike pull up a chair and grab a snack to watch the sheer number of bats that live inside, you’ll be
amazed!
