It has taken me a long time to finally getting round to visit Angkor Wat with my family. We finally realized our wish in June. We thought it would be really hot but the rain the previous day had cooled the weather considerably. The structures were truly impressive. My favorites were Angkor Wat, the Bayon and Ta Prohm. Some advice... More

I guess I am a spoilt traveler as I went to India leh and Iran recently, where there were less tourist but more wow factor. The Cambodian people are wonderful It would be better if the kids were not selling things to tourist and go to school instead.

The temples are a must do thing in Cambodia, but like all attractions, things get just to overrun by tourists.

This was a truly amazing experience. The temples are awesome. Hire a tuk tuk driver for fifteen dollars a day and drive around to see the many beautiful temples. This was unlike anything I have experienced before and truly took my breath away.

This is one of the most incredible archaeological parks in all the world. I've spent years seeing all of the Maya ruins (and others in Central/South America) and they don't come close to this one. I can't believe it took me this long to come to Ankor.

A must visit place if you are going to Siem Reap. In fact, this is the main attractions for visitors. Get a 3 days pass and go to visit various temples within the area.

-Start early to avoid the crowds and beat the heat (which is impossible). -Bring, or buy a hat and long sleeve white shirt or a sun umbrella. Slather the kids with sunscreen. -Early morning sunrise and evening sunsets are nice but nothing to freak out about. Especially if you enjoy sleeping in. It's nice to get an early start though...

Everyone knows what this place is and that is for a reason. It is magnificent. Also a lot lot bigger than we imagined. If you are into this sort of thing you could spend days and days wondering around. If you are not too fussed about knowing all the history, meanings of engravings etc. it is quite easy to wonder...
