My bad...

The address is Bakong, Siem Reap - 900m from the Bakong Temple - clearly sign posted...

Bakong is a nice piece of countryside to travel through. Bakong Temple is one of the oldest of the Angkor ruins - and the nearby monastery is quite alrge and colourful. Worth a visit. During the Pol Pot years, I'm told, more than 10,000 locals huddled here - watching gunfire from their hilltop. This is the district where Savong's School is located (a few 100 metres from the Tea garden) so if you are thinking of volunteering, (or seeing the temples) well the sights make up a good circuit. The Tea Garden makes a good place to stop.

One thing about Bakong. It is so near to Siem Reap, which is comparatively wealthy, but this hinterland is among the poorest areas in all of Cambodia, according to the national maps of poverty in Cambodia. So if you see a stall selling silk scarves or mementos, you might consider buying directly here rather than from the amrkets in town.
