As the surveys were conducted physically in the city of Siem Reap, 100% of respondents mentioned Siem Reap as visited place. 46.7% of respondents also visited the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, 38.6% the floating villages at Tonle Sap Lake, followed by 13.4% who visited Koh Rong, 11.8% Kampot, 10.3% Battambang, 7% Sihanoukville, 6.6% Phnom Kulen, 5.9% Banteay Srei, 3.9% Koh Rong Sanloem, 3.7% Kep, 2% Beng Melea, and 1.7% Kratie. Numbers for Banteay Srei (5.9%) and Beng Melea (2%) might actually be higher, however, respondents did not always recall the exact names and considered most of the temples visited around Siem Reap to fall under the Angkor temples as part of the Angkor Archaeological Park.
