Other than the various sporting facilities offered by the hotels there is not much to do in the way of physical exercise in Siem Reap.

Apsara (Traditional) Dance Performance Nightly dinner-theatre performances are held at several locations including Angkor Wat, Apsara Theatre, Grand Hotel D'Angkor Performance Hall, Bayon II Restaurant, Chao Pra Ya Restaurant, Hotel Sofitel Royal Angkor and Koulen II Restaurant among others. Some venues offer 'performance - only' seats. Traditional dances such as the apsara dance, the coconut dance, the fishing dance, excerpts from the Ramayana and other selections are performed. The Children's Orphanage in Siem Reap occasionally hold dance performances too. Check at Chao Say GH, or Lotus Temple Business Centre for more details.

Billiards can be played at a number of hotels as well as numerous pubs in the area. If your hotel doesn't cater for this activity please ask the hotel's concierge for information on the tables nearest your hotel.

Cinema As well as a good spot to enjoy an alcoholic beverage the Grand Hotel d'Angkor, screens English-language movies for a few dollars, which includes a drink and popcorn on Sunday evenings. If you like your movies in French, try the French Cultural Centre on Sundays.

Disco The Kulen Hotel Disco, is regarded as the top night spot in town but tends to be pricey. There are a few other spots but venues tend to change and you are advised to ask for more info at your hotel on arrival.

Elephant Trekking is available near the Phnom Bakheng hill. Climb to the top of the hill and let the elephant do the walking for you.

Evening Entertainment The The Elephant Bar at the Grand Hotel d'Angkor is a nice place to start the evening. Happy hour here gives you 2 drinks for the price of one. Westerners often congregate at the Continental Cafe, a relative of Phnom Penh's Foreign Correspondents' Club of Cambodia. It's close to the river and draws a good cross-section of the locals from Siem Reap, such as people who teach, de - mine, provide health care, preserve monuments and help develop agricultural projects.  

Massagee For the best massages visit the Cambodian Blind Development Centre located opposite the Angkor Hotel.

Mountain Biking can be done in Siem Reap. Some hotels hire out bikes and there are a few rentals outlets in the city. For more details ask at your hotel on arrival.

Swimmingg If your hotel doesn't have one there is a pool at the Angkor Village that the general public can use. It is a little small, but the lovely surroundings make up for its size.

Tennis like many other sports in Siem Reap can only be played at your hotel, if it has a court, if not, there are no sports centres or the like offering these facilities.
