    First off....don't come in April.....it's TOO HOT above 35C.

    Absolutely amazing...mind blowing experience walking around the Angkor Wat main Temple....incredible.

    If you're into Ancient History and Civilisations....and Temples, you must come and see it.

    You can climb to the highest steeple and absorb the magnificence of this Complex, which took 37 years to build.

    FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE

    This 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.  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.  Be sure to have a tour guide and stay hydrated!

    Smaller than Angkor yet still super impressive where one can see how time has overtaken man’s efforts all those 100s of years ago .
    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 it

    This 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.  

    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 to 1/2 a day. 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.  Get a tour guide and stay hydrated! Just fyi!

    The information on display was both interesting and informative. 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.

    A 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.

    This was an amazing/informative visit to see how these incredible little rats are trained to detect landmines etc in Cambodia and other parts of the world. We got to see a demonstration and the guide explained how these rats are helping vulnerable communities. The tour etc took approximately 45 minutes and if you wish to you have an opportunity to hold one the rats. Highly recommend a visit to see what this amazing organisation is doing for the people.

    We visited pub street on 3 occasions during our holiday.we found a good choice of restaurants and bars.Menu options were very much the same in all and prices varied a little.
    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
