I’m not particularly surprised that there is something fishy about Cambodia. I had kind of been expecting something, but I had no idea what it would turn out to be!
Siem Reap after dark is all rock and roll. The action is concentrated to a few blocks around 8th Street, today usually called Pub Street. The first bar opened only 12 years ago, which is difficult to understand when you experience the area today.
Here are probably hundreds of bars and restaurants. The Khmer food is excellent and cheap (2-3 USD per dish) and you can have a draft beer for 50 cents US.
Pub Street area is also where it gets fishy, and I’m not talking about gastronomic extravaganza. Otside several of the bars and restaurants you will find aquarium-like pools where you can dip your tired feet for a relaxing treatment by, yes, Doctor Fish! (Click photo for larger fish)
