  1. Wat Bo

    Neighborhood · Wat Bo

    Good value with strong cafe Wi-Fi, but sleepy at night and a bit of an expat bubble.

  2. Wat Damnak

    Neighborhood · Wat Damnak

    No longer a secret thanks to food vloggers, and noise is rising, but it's still great for families.

  3. French Quarter

    Neighborhood · French Quarter

    A good spot for a date, but touristy, a bit tired and overpriced; better to visit than to live in.

  4. Taphul Village

    Neighborhood · Taphul

    Affordable and still lively, but streets are hit or miss, and some have late-night karaoke.

  5. Pub Street

    Neighborhood · Old Market Area

    Fine for a beer and some chaos, but seedy, with girly bars, and a poor place to live.

  6. Angkor Wat

    Temple · Angkor Archaeological Park · brief mention
