When people think of Siem Reap, they usually think of temples. And yes, Angkor Wat and the ancient ruins are incredible, they’re one of the main reasons people come here. But after spending time exploring beyond the postcard views, I realized there’s so much more to Siem Reap than just temples.
That’s what this short film is all about. It’s a visual journey that takes you deeper, into the daily life, the faith, the landscapes, and the quiet beauty that surrounds everything here.
We visited not only the famous temples, but also places like Bakong, one of the oldest and most peaceful temples in the region. Surrounded by trees and stillness, Bakong offers a different kind of atmosphere. It’s not crowded. It’s not loud. It’s calm, spiritual, and full of quiet power. Standing there, you feel how deep the roots of this culture truly go.
Beyond the temples, we spent time on the floating villages where families live with the rhythm of the water. We walked through local markets, saw monks receiving alms in the early morning, and watched the sun rise over rice fields. Every location had a story, and every person we met added something real and unforgettable to the experience.
There’s a calm, spiritual feeling here that’s hard to describe. It’s in the sound of chanting at a village pagoda. It’s in the way nature and temples grow together at places like Ta Prohm. It’s in the smiles of the people and their quiet strength. It’s not loud or dramatic, it’s something you feel slowly, and it stays with you.
This project was made to show the side of Siem Reap that often goes unnoticed. The spirit behind the stone. The life behind the legends. The present moment, still deeply connected to the past.
We called this film Siem Reap – More Than Time because that’s what it truly is. It’s not just a place where you look back into history. It’s a place that still breathes, still believes, and still inspires.
Take a few minutes to watch the film. Whether you’ve been to Siem Reap before or dream of coming one day, I hope it helps you see this place in a new way.
