Wonderful food in a very laid-back atmosphere. Soup Dragon has quite a lovely selection of Southeast Asian food, particularly Thai and Vietnamese. Good value for your dollars.

Story/Tip

Quote:

Nothing that I have read, not the replica I saw at the Grand Palace in Bangkok, nor the guidebook a friend lent me, prepared me for the sight of Angkor Wat up close. Truly, it ranks as one of the most amazing sites I have seen in my life. The experience of getting up at 4am just to catch the sun rise behind Angkor Wat will be one of my most unforgettable experiences, and not only because it's the first time I've gotten up at sunrise in ages. Walking through its magnificent halls with walls bedecked with bas reliefs telling the history of Cambodia was a lovely experience. I just wish our guide's English was easier on the intellect.
