The whole 'city' of Angkor Thom was amazing. Loved it more than Angkor Wat, more diverse in what it has to offer. If you want to just take it all in, spend hours at Bayon (faces are imposing but not threatening, a serene feeling here) and at the terrace of the Elephants. Relief work is incredible and more fun to... more

A temple well worth a visit, it is huge and there is lots to see. A guide would be helpful as it makes it more interesting. more

The complex at this ruins is 9 square kilometers in area. It includes Bayon, Baphuon, Victory Gate, Terrace of the Elephants and Leper King, and Prasats Suor Prat as well as others. These are ever bit as spectacular as those at Angkor Wat which is only a kilometer away. If you visit Angkor Wat, be sure and go the extra... more

My wife & I are independant travellers who love doing things ourselves. We spent 4 nights in Siem Reap and tackled the Angkor Complex over 3 days as follows... First day we got into Siem Reap in the afternoon after a 6h bus ride from Phnom Penh ($11 pp and pretty comfortable). Once we had checked into our guest house... more

The bas reliefs here are of daily life and the different ethnic buildup of early Cambodians. Making out the scenes is rather fun. more

Went to the National Museum on the fourth day of our stay in Siem Reap. The museum has been around probably about a year because during our previous visit to Siem Reap in March 2007, it was still being built. I was initially of the view that visiting the museum towards the end of our trip gave us a 'summary'... more

My husband and I are Brits currently living in hot and humid Singapore. Last month his parents came out to visit us for a fortnight and we planned a week's side trip to off-season Cambodia, to see the temples of Angkor. We browsed various holiday websites and finally decided, through recommendations, to contact Mr. Tee (Sopheap Nhoep) at www.angkorholiday.blogspot.com. We... more

It has 52 towers with the huge serene faces of the Jayavarman VII. To the north is the great plaza adjoining 300 metre long... more
