Most come to see the ruins at Angkor Wat, but Siem Reap has so much more to offer gay travellers.

Events

Siem Reap’s events calendar is relaxed but rewarding, with temple festivals, Khmer New Year celebrations and a small community-run Pride adding colour to the city.

Siem Reap is not a city of huge, year-round festivals, but the events it does host can add a memorable layer to your trip. Khmer New Year brings water fights, street celebrations and family gatherings each April, while Buddhist holidays and temple ceremonies offer glimpses into Cambodia’s living spiritual traditions. For LGBTQ+ travellers, Siem Reap Pride is a small, low-key, community-run festival rather than a major circuit-style event — which is part of its charm. Expect something more local, friendly and grassroots, with a focus on visibility, connection and community rather than big nightlife spectacle.
