Siam Reap is located in north west Cambodia, and is a main tourist hub due to its close proximity to the world famous temples of Angkor. Thanks to its strategic location to the ancient kingdom, many new hotels, restaurants, bars, travel companies as well as a new airport have popped up in this once small dusty town.
Denpasar may not be far from the usual touristy resort areas of Bali, but the moment you transcend to the capital of Bali, a change in atmosphere is clearly felt. The laid back beach lifestyle is instantly changed to a bustling city. Not as hectic as you may think a capital city to be, and the lack of skyscrapers, due to a Balinese custom that disallows buildings to be taller than a coconut tree, gives way for blue skies. Apart from the many busy Balinese buzzing around on their scooters, many monuments and temples can be seen around the city. Catch a glimpse of the traditional markets at Pasar Badung and see the magnificent colors of fresh produce and colorful batiks up for offer.
