What to do after trekking around the ancient temples of Angkor in Siem Reap? How about a professional massage and a trip to the spa? I’m betting you’re interested, especially when you can get three or four times the value here that you can back in most western countries, and service with that famous Khmer hospitality that just can’t be found anywhere else.
Walking around Siem Reap city, and especially Pub Street, you’ll find no shortage of massage places offering $3 for 30 min foot massages or $8 one-hour body massages, which are certainly great value and a nice way to chill. But, how about taking it up a notch to something truly professional, well, it’s a good idea. Here are the top options for just that.
