If you start hankering for a beautiful Buddha, high-quality lacquerware rice bowl or antique textile to take home with you, as many visitors do, one of the best places to find high-quality Cambodian treasures, both antique and new, is at Angkor Heritage, which has its main Siem Reap outpost in the Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor. (The original shop is in Phnom Penh.) Founded by Francois Heymann and Christophe Richard who came to Cambodia in 1994, the gallery showcases the works of master craftsman that the duo have been working with for two decades. The artists work in traditional styles inspired by Angkor to produce what the owners call “contemporary artworks of museum quality.” Other hotels such as the Amansara, Park Hyatt Siem Reap and La Residence d’Angkor carry their some of their treasures as well but the largest selection is here.
