Sla Kram (ស្លក្រាម) is one of the sangkats (urban communes) of Siem Reap; its eight villages include Sla Kram itself, Treang, Dak Pou and Mondol 3.1 Angkor Wat lies about 6 km north of town, and a 5 km road on the temple's south side carries the name of Charles de Gaulle, the French president who visited Angkor in 1966.23

Wat Bo and Taphul have more cafés, but Sla Kram has more with outdoor seating than anywhere else in town. They range from garden cafés on village lanes to tables along Preah Sihanouk Avenue and the market roads.

Local tip: Buy your Angkor pass online the day before, then pick up a coffee at The Corner Cafe II on 20 Ousaphea Street when it opens at 06:00.

Coffee before the temples
