I’ve been living in Siem Reap for around 2 years now, and recently I’ve started to feel a bit bored with the usual routine. I am at 36 with a Khmer wife at 20. We have a small baby.

For anyone who has lived here long-term, what places do you still enjoy going to? Are there any hidden spots, activities, weekend routines, communities, cafés, nature places, or nearby trips that helped you keep life here interesting?

I’m not really looking for tourist checklist stuff, but more real local-life ideas from people who have stayed here for a while.

Would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

I’m really frustrated with GrabFood.

This has happened more than once. The app allows us to place an order, everything looks normal, and then about one hour later we check the phone and find out the order was already cancelled because the restaurant was closed.

The worst part is that sometimes the food is not just for ourselves. Sometimes it is being sent to a hospital or to someone who is waiting for food.

Not everyone is checking their phone every minute after placing an order. When the app allows an order to go through, people naturally assume the order is actually being handled.

It is extremely frustrating to wait for so long and only find out later that nothing is coming.
