Much smaller than Angor Wat, so able to see the entire temple and walk though it in a half a day. Because it is not to US standards for safety, you must m be in good shape and have good balance as you truly feel like you are making an archeolgical find for the first time. It is amazing and... More

So much to see and absorb in Angkor Thom so make sure you take your time. Make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes and keep hydrating - it gets really hot esp if you are visiting between May and July. My favourite temple was Bayon, located in the center of Angkor Thom - i loved it so much that I... More

can we believe that it used to be a city? build by end of 12th century and our generation still can see, touch and feel it :)

This is another in the series of temples in the Angkor Watt complex of structures. Plan for a full day of viewing. Early morning is best for this site because it gets shot and muggy in the afternoons.

I loved this area, especially Bayon with the faces, just amazing. We were there in may and it was incredibly hot but I meant that it wasn't so busy ( though I can't compare, but we didn't find it busy). We decided against a guide because after watching others we thought in the tremendous heat we just might get "over"... More

Angkor Thom means "the great city" in Khmer.

Angkor Thom has 5 gates which are the South gate, West gate, North gate, East gate and Victory... More

Went with a guide and although very hot we enjoyed Angkor Thom. The guide (From Beyond Unique Escapes) gave us lots of history and was able to point out special things we may not have found ourselves. Be prepared for the crowds even in low season - driving through the entry gate can be bedlam!

Scenic place with unique atmosphere, mighty trees overwhelming the ruins, perfect background for family pics.

By the time we'd 'done' 3 temples, they ended up being all very similar. We were 'templed out' after five and photos of two more. We are not hugely into the history of it all but wanted to see it anyway, we would not have come to SR if we hadn't.
