Blue Pumpkin, Siem Reap, Cambodia

Offering Free Wifi in Siem Reap appears to be a much more widely accepted practice than in more "developed" cities like Singapore. If you are looking for somewhere cool (ie airconditioning) with sweets and pastries and free Wifi, the Blue Pumpkin, is the place.

You can view their homemade offerings downstairs but head to the second level where the ac is cold and the lounge chairs large.  They welcome you with cold towels to wipe off the dust of the streets, however, they are tinged strangely with axe oil (commonly known to the Chinese as "wind oil").  On that day, I found it particularly refreshing as long as I didn't get any in my eyes.
