ACCOMMODATION
Botoum Hotel In the northwest of town, just off the
roundabout to Poipet at the junction of NR5 & NR6
T 012 687858, E botoumhotel@gmail.com. Simple
hotel with friendly English-speaking owners and slightly
grubby rooms with hot water and fan (plus optional a/c for
$7 extra). Taller rea ders should beware the dangerously
low-flying doors. $8
Golden Crown Guest House Town centre, just north
of the market T 011 610707. Simple, spacious tiled
rooms with fan and cold water only, plus a basic restaurant
downstairs (Khmer m en u only). Good value, although not
much English spoken. $6
Nasa Hotel Northern end of town, opposite the
Sokimex petrol station T 011 777702. Sisophon's
accommodation options have lift off with the launch of this
stellar new hotel, offering big, bright and spotless a/c
rooms with fancy carved wooden furni ture , plus TV and
fridge. Prices aren't astronomical, either. $15
EATING
Food options in Sisophon are rudimentary. In the late afternoon and early evening, stalls selling basic Khmer food and
fruit shakes open on the south side of Independence Park.
Kim Heng Food Next door to the Nasa Hotel T 012

language menu, with a short selection of inexpensive
Khmer and Chinese staples (mains $2). Daily 8am-9pm.

station. This bright little café is Sisophon's (modest)
answer to a fast-food joint, although the menu (in Khmer
only) is limited to ice cream, cold coffee and KFC -style
chicken and chips. Daily 10am-8pm.
Opposite the Sokimex petrol
Around Sisophon
A trio of local attractions - the stone-carving village of Choob , the traditional weaving
village of Phnom Sarok , and the Ang Trapaeng Thmor Crane sanctuary - can be
combined into an interesting day-trip from Sisophon, or visited en route between
Sisophon and Siem Reap.
