- TheLush101Cardiff, UK2,467 contributionsAfter sunrise over Angkor Wat, we headed to Angkor Thom, through the majestic gate over the bridge lined with figures.
This is a series of temples, rather than one, with many many towers adorning it. Although they're now weathered, it still an impressive sight. The main temple complex is smaller than Angkor Wat, but was less busy when we were there and we were able to wander around more, through the complex underneath the towers. If you're fair-skinned like me, you'll welcome the shade whilst you look at the carvings from the 12th Century. Definitely worth a visit.Written September 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Its pretty special and I'd put it up there with the Taj Mahal and Machu Picchu.

- Hayley RBranxton, Australia20 contributionsBeautiful tributes to the people lost during the Khmer Rouge reign. Artwork goes into detail for the treatment received and torture devices. Monks live there but at times didn’t appreciate us looking around. Recommend visiting if you have some free time.Written June 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Steven PhichCambodia510 contributionsBanteay Samre is a hidden gem within the Angkor Archaeological Park, offering visitors the chance to explore the magnificent history and architecture of the Khmer Empire. This temple, dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu, showcases stunning sandstone carvings and intricate bas-reliefs depicting scenes from Hindu mythology. The peaceful atmosphere and lack of crowds make it a perfect spot for quiet contemplation and reflection. History buffs and architecture enthusiasts will appreciate the beauty and significance of Banteay Samre, a must-visit destination in Cambodia. Don't miss the opportunity to capture the beauty of this lesser-known temple with your camera.Written February 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AethelredCambridge, MA1,344 contributionsAll reviews are right, once again: Sunsets from the top of the pyramid are spectacular, but because of that, they are a mass event - can't be helped. Still worth it, and if you're tall, you can still make great pix. Zoom pix of Angkor Wat (on the other side of the sunset) are spectacular too but these days, they just look like drone shots. I think it's one of the best sunset spots in SR and I would recommend.Written April 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DeepakSuva, Fiji347 contributionsJust on the opposite side of the road from Sra Srang, this temple is not visited that much (or maybe we we vsited when it was not peak season) so it's a more peaceful visit without having everyone around you.
A smaller site but still can admire it's architecture.Written August 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Highly recommended.Written September 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DotsGirl2Vancouver, Canada452 contributionsSrah Srang is the name of the lake which I understand is also called the Royal Baths. We went to the terrace to view it. The terrace was built for the Royal barge. Probably takes 15 minutes to viewWritten February 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WarbyBicester, UK3,745 contributionsOne of the gates leading into the temple. Restore more than others (maybe first) and understand this was the gate where the king would enter. Nice bridge leading to the gate which has large soldier figuresWritten July 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stella King S5 contributionsThe Eastern Mebon stands as a cherished gem among the temples of Angkor. Its allure captivates visitors, particularly when bathed in the gentle glow of sunrise or sunset, casting a mesmerizing aura upon its ancient relics. Unlike its bustling counterparts, the Eastern Mebon offers a serene ambiance, inviting exploration at a leisurely pace. Strolling through its expansive grounds, one can't help but be enveloped by a sense of tranquility, making it an ideal sanctuary for introspection and appreciation of Cambodia's rich heritage. For those seeking solace amidst the grandeur of Angkor, the Eastern Mebon beckons with its timeless charm and understated elegance.Written May 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Doc BokVientiane, Laos242 contributionsA small temple was under heavy restoration when we visited. It's definitely worth a visit to see the intricate carvings on the doors and stupas.Written September 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DotsGirl2Vancouver, Canada452 contributionsReally after Angor Wat the other temples look small and often in disrepair. This is a nice small temple with Five towers on one terrace. It is a Hindu temple. It doesn’t take much time to visit and it wasn’t crowdedWritten February 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alisdair M9 contributionsIt was not what I expected. Having visited other cultural centres I expected to see examples of houses of different peoples populated by actors who show you the way of life - type of food, tools used etc. However, the houses were empty with no information and more of the park seemed taken up with Disney themes. Strange.Written April 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DotsGirl2Vancouver, Canada452 contributionsSince the Royal Palace at Angor Thom was made of wood only parts of the foundation remain. Not that interesting. The Phimeanakas which is a temple still standing is beautiful. It is nice to spend a few minutes looking at itWritten February 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
