Its mightiness and magnificence bespeak a pomp and a luxury surpassing that of a Pharaoh or a Shah Jahan, an impressiveness greater than that of the Pyramids, an artistic distinctiveness as fine as that of the Taj Mahal. « less

Angkor Wat was my 'first visit' which I did at sunrise on my first day. (NB don't forget to take some sort of flashlight with you - although you can buy them on site if you don't have one). We all waited at the edge of the lake for the sunrise (lots & lots of people). It was quite a... More

I have been traveling for years and been to many cities and seen many temples. Nothing compares to Angkor Wat. I only had one day to tour the temples, so I chose the "small circuit" which included Angkor Wat. There is something magical about seeing so many ruins. Being able to walk on them, touch them, experience them, is just... More

I can't believe we were allowed to climb all over this amazing monument - a must see before it gets roped off. More

Amazing histories, bas-relief and architecture style. We would recommend to visit Angkor Wat at least one time before you die. More

Rising before sunrise is highly recommended for the best view of this temple, said to be the largest religious structure in the world. A gigantic moat surrounds Angkor Wat which you'll cross while entering the temple on a wide road. I rarely use a guide as i prefer to research in advance the various aspects of a site.... but here...

Angkor Wat, being a historical site, would be better appreciated if you read before you visit it. I went with a number of friends, and those who didn't read up before visiting left thinking that they visited a pile of rocks in an old building. Try to approach the building both from the West entrance (the front), and the East... More

Wear trainers for all the temples. Lots of climbing around over fallen stones. If you want to go to the high temple, ladies must be covered to the knee. More
