The whole region is great and worth visiting. Thailand has plenty of non touristy areas if that matters to you. Personally, when I am traveling I am essentially a tourist. I don't discount going places just because a lot of other people also want to go there.
+1 While I agree with OP that Cambodia is a beautiful country to travel to, Siem Reap is definitively 'touristy'. Too many people try to get 'hipster' about their travel. Go somewhere because it appeals to you, not because your friends or favorite travel blogger haven't been there yet.
