WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Pickup at 8 am from your hotel in Siem Reap and start exploring the stunning temples today by a tuk-tuk.
2.
Angkor Thom Capital city of the Khmer empire built at the end of the 12th century NameAngkor Thom Datelate 12th century KingJayavarman VII Location North of Angkor Wat, between West Baray and East Baray Near byAngkor Wat, Preah Khan, Phnom Bakheng Angkor Thom is an almost square city surrounded by 8 meter high walls a little over 12 kilometers long with five impressive gopura gates providing access to the city. The city’s name translates to “large city” or “great city”. King Jayavarman VII made Angkor Thom the new capital of the Khmer Kingdom after driving out the Chams , who destroyed the old capital Yasodharapura. He fortified the city by building a high wall around it, in turn enclosed by a 100 meter wide moat.
3.
The Bayon is a richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia. Built in the late 12th or early 13th century as the state temple of the Mahayana Buddhist King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the centre of Jayavarman's capital, Angkor Thom. A peculiarity of the Bayon is the absence of an enclosing wall. It is, though, protected by the wall surrounding the city of Angkor Thom. The basic plan of the Bayon is a simple one comprising three levels (1-3). The first and second levels are square galleries featuring bas-reliefs. A circular Central Sanctuary dominates the third level. Despite this seemingly simple plan, the arrangement of the Bayon is complex, with a maze of galleries, passages and steps connected in a way that make the levels practically indistinguishable and creates dim lighting, narrow walkways, and low ceilings. The temples decorated with more than 200 smiling faces on its tower.
4.
Continue your exploration with a visit to the Terrace of the Elephants, which served as a platform from where the King viewed the victorious return of his army. After, visit the Terrace of the Leper King with detailed carvings winding along a narrow passage way that leads to the Baphuon and Phimean Akas temple.
5.
Ta Prohm's state of ruin is a state of beauty, which is investigated with delight and left with regret. It was built about mid-12th century to early 13th century (1186) by the King Jayavarman VII, dedicated to the mother of the king (Buddhist) replica to Bayon style of art. Ta Prohm is among the largest of the monuments in the Angkor complex, the in scrimption gives an idea of the size of the temple. The complex included 260 statues of gods, 39 towers with pinnacles and 566 groups of residences. Ta Prohm comprises a series of long low buildings standing on one level, which are enclosed by rectangular laterite wall (600 by 1,000 meters, 1,959 by 3,281 feet). Only traces of the wall are still visible. The center of the monument is reached by a series of towers connected with passages. This arrangement forms a ' sort of sacred way into the heart of the monument’; three-square galleries enclose the area.
6.
Angkor Wat is a temple complex at Angkor, Cambodia, built for the king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious center since its foundation – first Hindu, dedicated to the god Vishnu, then Buddhist. It is the world's largest religious building. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology: within a moat and an outer wall 3.6 kilometers (2.2 mi) long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the center of the temple stands a quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs and for the numerous guardian spirits adorning its walls.

We found the tour very interesting but more importantly it was because Vantha was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. We also found that he spoke English well, and we had no trouble understanding his lessons. I recommend him without reservation.

We chose the Tuktuk tour thinking it would result in less walking. It did not - the Tuktuk had to stop where the vans & busses stop. However, I still recommend this mode of transportation. Most of the route is tree covered, so the ride is shady & nice. We were sufficiently cooled between the hot walking tours and had a lovely view of the forest & countyrside.

Of course the temples were fantastic to see. The sites are clean, organized, & well-maintained. Inside the temples is coolish.

Outside walking around very hot, so drink lots of water! Our Tuktuk driver was well supplied with cold bottles of water.

Our tour guide Sorphea was absolutely amazing. We learnt so much about Ankor Wat, but also just daily life in Cambodia. It was our best tour experience in all of SE Asia, and I would 100% recommend it. If you’re going to Ankor Wat, don’t go wander by yourself, go with Sorphea!!

Nak our guide was really excellent and knowledgeable. He showed us all the key highlights of the Big 3 - Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Prohm and also walked us through the Baphuon and Elephant Terrace. He also gave us time to explore and climb the terraces. Our driver Sim was calm and always ready with a bottle of cold water. We were picked up and dropped off at hotel and taken to a decent lunch restaurant. Tuk tuk is a great way to experience the forested roads and park sights.

Out tour guid Nak was very good, friendly and knowlegable as he studied English and History, and teached us a lot about Cambodian history. They suplied us with cold water at every stop and we traveled by a van with AC between temples. The restaurant food they took us to was very tasty.

If I only could have someone like Voath as a tour guide on any tour in any part of the world would be simply amazing. The guy has passion, heart, and is absolutely knowledgeable about the history of this part of the world. He communicates clearly and just speaks perfect english. Also a lot of fun to be around, and makes the sight seeing very enjoyable. Being my first time in Cambodia, I would highly recommend Voath, but not only for first timers but anyone looking to learn and enjoy the tour.

It has been such a pleasure it is hard to described.

Thank you to Voath and the team.

We scheduled this tour because we could have a later start time than many other tours on this day since our arrival was fairly late the day before. We now know why the others were scheduled for earlier in the day when it was much cooler!! Our guide, Noy, was fabulous and quite the trooper for taking us around the Angkor complex in the heat of the day.

We really enjoyed everything about the tour and seeing the highlights of the Angkor town. Noy was full of wonderful information and great caring and concern.

The driver working with Noy was also wonderful.

It is always a pleasure to be introduced to an area by someone so kind and knowledgeable! (And on time as well.)

These sites are, of course, not to be missed for visitors to Siem Reap and a knowledgeable, friendly guide makes it MUCH easier to get the highlights when you are visiting with a compressed timeline, as we were.

This trip was primarily for my son (age 24) who is visiting me in Bangkok for a short while. I wanted to be sure he got at least one other country in while here. He was absolutely captivated by this entire experience. I'm so glad this is the stop I chose for his first visit to Asia and we were so happy to spend this afternoon with Noy!
