Went to Siem Reap a couple or so years ago, but it's how very poor the place is that got to me - and how lavish and expensive the hotel we were staying at in comparison; felt it so incongruous.

Angkor Wat was of course fabulous - but it was soooo hot!

And by the way - I was pre-warned and thus brought along a stack of US$ 1 and $5 notes - which is the best currency to use there; also, make sure you bring with you two identical passport photos to avoid being ripped off when applying for the visa on arrival.

And of course be very careful with your belongings as things disappear/one of our luggage disappeared from the airport to the hotel.
