Ultimate expat guide to Siem Reap! Which area is best to live? Which area has most expats?

The four sangkats / communes (see below) that are closest to the centre of Siem Reap are a great choice when looking for an apartment. You can't go wrong with any of the four, but you'll find most available properties in Svay Dankum and Sala Kamreuk.

1 - Svay Dankum (Sok San Rd, Taphul Rd, Old Market, Pub Street, Psar Kraoum, supermarkets)
2 - Sala Kamreuk (Wat Bo, Wat Damnak, the highest concentration of schools, Angkor Muscle Gym)
3 - Sla Kram (leafy area beside the river, lots of Wats: Polanka, An Kau Sa, Enkosai, chill vibe)
4 - Kok Chak (most local or non-expat area in central Siem Reap, cheap local food)

Of course, Svay Dankum is the best because that's where we live and also where Dave and Seng Lai from Dave Does Cambodia live!

If you have any questions about the different parts of Siem Reap, please ask.

Cambodia is divided into 25 provinces. Siem Reap is one of these.
Siem Reap province is divided into 12 districts.
Siem Reap town is one of these districts.
Siem Reap town is divided into 13 sangkats / communes.
Svay Dankum, Sala Kamreuk, Sla Kram and Kok Chak are four of these sangkats / communes.
There is a level under this called village, but I don't have any info on that.
