What to do in Siem Reap when it rains

Rainy days suit Siem Reap: trade the streets for its galleries and museums, a sheltered market, and a cafรฉ where you can watch the weather go by.

Museums

Spend a few hours in the city's museums โ€” many are free, and a rainy day is the perfect excuse to take your time.

Art galleries

Duck into the art galleries; they're quiet, warm and rarely busier than on a wet day.

Historic sites

Explore the indoor historic sites and their covered galleries.

Covered markets

Browse the covered market โ€” street-food stalls, local makers and somewhere dry to graze for an hour.
