First day in Siem Reap

We arrived at Siem Reap International Airport at noon (local time). After checking in at Royal Empire Hotel, we decided to explore the town. It is only ten minutes ride on the Tuk Tuk. I enjoyed the ride more than the Tuk Tuk ride in Bangkok. It is also very easy to get a Tuk Tuk. We were asked by numerous Tuk Tuk drivers if we wanted a ride. Some of them also offered to be our tour guide.
 
In the town you will find, the Old Market, Angkor Night Market which opens from 4pm to 12 midnight, numerous restaurants, cafes, massage parlors, fish massage and shops selling handicrafts. We also found a KFC restaurant!! Because of this, I concluded that Siem Reap is less "ulu" than Hanoi, Vietnam. There were no fast food restaurants during my last visit!
