What travelers are saying
- Alisdair M9 contributionsI came to Cambodia to see this temple and it lived up to expectations. We had a guide who pointed out things we might have missed.
Timing is important. Sunrise is popular with Western tourists who seek great photos. By late morning there is a second wave who have had a lazy breakfast and then set out. We arrived between these two peaks and it wasn't too busy.Written April 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s in out of the way Siem Reap but it’s certainly worth a special trip to visit. The complex is huge with many temples but we saw the three most popular temples - Angkor Wat, the biggest and best maintained, and Ta Prohm, the temple in which huge spung trees have retaken the temples over the past 400 years or so, and finally Bayon temple with its numerous buildings with many faces and intricate stone wall carvings. Ta Prohm temple is where the 2001 movie Tomb Raiders was filmed. If you can, it is also really worthwhile climbing the steps to the highest of 3 levels at Angkor Wat.
It's a little confusing on the listings of Trip Advisor's "Things to Do" in Siem Reap. There are listings for individual temples which can each take several hours - that is, there is Angkor Wat (the biggest and best preserved), Ta Prohm temple (with the amazing tree growth), and also Bayon temple (with numerous buildings with many intricate stone wall carvings). Then there is the listing for Angkor Thom, which means "Angkor Great City" and which encompasses the entire Angkor complex including Bayon Temple and Angkor Wat as part of it.

Just stunning to see how nature crawling back over the temple with massive roots and trunks creating stunning visuals themselves interspersed with the temple .. loved itWritten April 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Howard LPark Ridge, IL875 contributionsThis is a lifetime bucket list kind of place. It’s in out of the way Siem Reap but it’s certainly worth a special trip to visit and we in fact planned a 17 day tour of Southeast Asia with Angkor Thom as the central driver. The complex is huge with many temples but we saw the three most popular temples - Angkor Wat, the biggest and best maintained, Ta Prohm, the temple in which huge spung trees have retaken the temples over the past 400 years or so, and finally Bayon temple with its numerous buildings with many intricate stone wall carvings. Ta Prohm temple is where the 2001 movie Tomb Raiders was filmed. If you can, it is also really worthwhile climbing the steps to the highest of 3 levels at Angkor Wat.

At the entrance, there was background information about the person who had set up the Museum. He has quite a story to tell. We were there for approximately 1.5hours. I was particularly interested to read about some of the children who were injured by landmines and to see what they are doing now.Written April 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sara CLondon, UK28 contributionsA bucket list must! You have made it to Cambodia, surely this is why you came? Note: the ticket office is separate to the park, consider buying your ticket the evening before if you want to see the sun rise at Angkor Wat. Be sure to get there as early as you can, its worth it. You will need transportation around the park as it is VAST. Wear comfortable shoes, a hat and be sure to have sunscreen and plenty of water. Do a little research beforehand to get the most of the trip.
Yes the place gets busy and the locals want to sell you their wares but for most people this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to immerse yourself into something totally unique.Written January 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was an hour tour in total, and during this time our wonderful guide told us everything there was to know about these extraordinary HeroRATs, and included lots of humour which made it all the more engaging.
It was informative without overloading you with information. The demonstration was great, it was cool to see the little guy in action, and to see exactly how it would work on the field with the handlers.
We got to meet and hold Glen! This was the highlight for us as we got told all about him and where he had been working and how many mines he had found etc. The handler was super friendly.
APOPO does such amazing work, and it was fantastic to learn all about it in as much detail as we did within the tour. So worth it!Written April 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is a market and many stalls selling clothing, souvenirs etc.Massage parlours with 3-10 dollar prices for services.
One problem we encountered was paying in dollars they were very fussy about the condition of the notes and I had them frequently returned for other notes.Most places wanted cash as will all market stalls.
You may receive change in dollars and riels
Tuk tuk drivers are quite annoying all around the streets but can be passed by with a firm no thanks.Overall we enjoyed our time spent there and found the food and drinks to be of good quality.Written March 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

(Pedagogy is different, but I recommend going here after the temples.) I find audioguides too restrictive; I recommend going by oneself and stopping where inspired. It is an expensive, commercial place, but the Jayavarman VII statue in the end is worth the ticket price already. The excellent shop with a great selection at fair and still cheap prices is its own attraction and very much worth visiting even if for some reason you don't want to enter the museum.Written April 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Helsbels123456Bristol, UK154 contributionsIt’s a small market but things that were different. We were happy what we bought but as it was very hot when we were there it was extremely hot in the market so could spend long there.Written April 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
