Energy drinks overseas travel

Siem Reap, Cambodia - Energy Drink Journey 2020 Siem Reap, Cambodia - Energy Drink Journey 2020
If you're looking to enjoy energy drinks in Cambodia, should you go to the capital Phnom Penh or the ancient ruins of Siem Reap? I thought Siem Reap might be lacking in energy drink options because it heavily relies on its historical ruins and doesn't have many shops. However, that turned out not to be the case at all! Energy drinks were quite abundant, and I ended up really enjoying the ruins, the city, and the people. It made me want to revisit Siem Reap, regardless of the energy drink journey (●´ω`●).
