Audley recommends the Friends restaurant in the centre of the city for a great place to stop and have lunch.
Depart Phnom Penh by road and travel north to the city of Siem Reap, the home of the ancient temples of Angkor. The temples are the largest religious buildings on the planet and seeing the sun set over the largest; Angkor Wat is an incredible experience.
As well as being home to the temples, Siem Reap itself also has a lot to offer, including some excellent bars and fine restaurants catering for both Khmer and western tastes as well as shopping and adventure sports such as quad biking and horse riding.
An early start today is the only way to ensure that you see the magnificent colours of the Khmer sunrise whilst being surrounded by the crumbling, jungle clad ruins of Ta Prohm. You will have the place to yourself at dawn and the mist rising from this ancient ruin really adds to the eeriness of Ta Prohm.
You return to the site later in the day to explore the remaining temples on the main complex.
