Cambodia's second-largest city — riverside, French-colonial heritage, and the unofficial center of the country's contemporary art scene (Phare Ponleu Selpak circus school is here). Pace is markedly slower than Phnom Penh, prices are 20-30% lower, and the bamboo train + Khmer Rouge memorial circuit gives day-trip range. Wi-Fi is solid in most guesthouses; coworking remains thin but functional. Cambodia's e-visa (30 days, extendable) and tourist visa (60 days, extendable to ~6 months) are straightforward. The trade-off vs. Siem Reap is fewer English speakers and no UNESCO temples, but the budget is roughly half.
