About this audio guide
This guide to Pub Street in Siem Reap traces a hundred-meter strip that spent most of its life as an unpaved dirt road with three restaurants and, by one account, more rats than tourists. It follows the single bar that changed that in nineteen ninety-eight, the years of paving and repaving that came after, and the pandemic-era dig that finally buried a proper drainage system under the road. Listen for how a nickname born on the street outlasted the official name still printed on the map.
