The name Siem Reap itself is Khmer which literally means the “Flat Defeat of Siam” or “Siam Defeated”. Siam, of course, refers to ancient Thailand where Khmer rule had its grip after King Ang Chan took advantage of the internal squabbles in the Siamese kingdom in Ayudhaya where King Prajai was poisoned by his Queen, Sri Sudachan to live with a commoner named Woravongsa. Prince Tienraja, a monk, then became the new king of Siam, named Maha Chakrapat.
