The Magic of the Hot Air Balloon in Siem Reap

Located in the vibrant city of Siem Reap, Sokchea Angkor Hotel offers travelers a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage. One of the hotel’s most relaxing features is its beautifully designed swimming pool—a tranquil space where guests can unwind and recharge.

Set amidst the hotel’s elegant architecture and well-maintained garden areas, the pool provides a refreshing escape from the city’s heat. Its clean, inviting water is perfect for a morning swim or a soothing dip in the afternoon. Comfortable loungers surround the pool, giving guests a place to relax, enjoy a cool drink, or simply take in the calm atmosphere. Though there are no palm trees, the surrounding greenery and careful landscaping create a natural and peaceful environment that complements the hotel’s traditional Khmer style.

The pool area is also a great place to socialize or enjoy quiet moments alone. Attentive staff are available to serve drinks or light snacks, adding to the comfort and convenience of the experience. Whether you’re cooling off after visiting the Angkor temples or starting your day with a refreshing swim, the Sokchea Angkor Hotel pool offers a welcome break from your adventures.

For travelers looking for comfort, calm, and a touch of local charm, the pool at Sokchea Angkor Hotel is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the best of Siem Reap hospitality.

Start your day with a tour of Angkor Thom, including visits to the Bayon Temple, Baphuon, Terrace of the Elephants, and Terrace of the Leper King. Angkor Thom, founded by Jayavarman VII in the 12th century, was one of the largest Khmer cities and remained the capital until the 17th century. Then, explore Ta Prohm, famous for the gigantic tree roots intertwined with the temple structure.

After lunch, visit Angkor Wat, the Seventh Wonder of the World. Spend your afternoon exploring this magnificent temple until late in the day. Climb Bakheng Hill to enjoy a breathtaking sunset view. Return to Siem Reap for dinner at a local restaurant and stay overnight. You have optional transportation by Tuk Tuk, by Car, or Mini Van.
