Timeless Cambodia

Situated on the outskirts of Siem Reap, Phum Baitang offers access to the nearby Angkor Archaeological Park, home to the temples of Angkor Wat. The surrounding region is rich in both culture and natural beauty, with rice paddies, sugar palms, and traditional wooden stilt houses defining the landscape. The city of Siem Reap itself blends old and new, from remnants of French colonial architecture to local street food and lively markets. A short journey away, the floating villages of Tonlé Sap Lake – Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake – provide a glimpse into Cambodia’s unique ecology and traditional way of life.

Travel Tips

The best time to visit Siem Reap is during the dry season, from November to April, when temperatures are cooler and rainfall is minimal. This period offers ideal conditions for temple exploration and outdoor activities, with temperatures typically ranging between 20°C and 30°C. December and January are considered optimal months, offering the most pleasant weather with cool temperatures and clear skies. They also are the busiest tourist months.

The green season, from May to October, reveals a different but equally enchanting side of Siem Reap. The surrounding landscapes come alive with lush greenery, and the occasional afternoon or evening thunderstorms bring a refreshing energy to the region. Mornings remain bright and ideal for sightseeing, while fewer crowds and more attractive accommodation rates allow for a more intimate and immersive experience. Visitors during this season often find a serene rhythm to their travels, discovering Cambodia at a quieter, more atmospheric pace.

Zannier Phum Baitang is located west of Siem Reap International Airport, a mere 80 minutes’ drive through scenic Cambodian countryside. The resort offers a premium limousine transfer service at an additional charge, providing comfortable, air-conditioned transportation with meet-and-greet service and luggage assistance for a seamless arrival experience. Alternative options include airport taxis or ride-hailing apps like Grab, though the resort’s limousine service ensures the most comfortable journey to this tranquil destination. Positioned away from the bustling city center and approximately 20 minutes from the Angkor Wat temple complex, the resort provides a peaceful retreat while maintaining access to Siem Reap’s main attractions. Advanced booking of the transfer service is recommended to guarantee availability upon arrival.

To enjoy the most our of your stay in Siem Reap, we recommend packing the following essentials:

  • Portable phone charger or power bank
