HIRE A TUK TUK..TO VISIT ANGKOR WAT SITES

by DennyP

ANGKOR WAT COMPLEX Visitors to Angkor choose different methods of transportation to visit Angkor Wat complex..I chose to hire a Tuk Tuk over three different days as I wanted to see as much of the Complex Ancient Khmer City as possible..Entry to the sites is cheapest with a three day pass.but a one day pass can also be had for those in a hurry...also the Tuk Tuk drivers are very knowledgeable on the sites and their history..The cost is really down to your bargaining skills...but don't bargain too hard...These people have a hard life ..

tonle sap lake

by farawaynow

this lake is ,huge,its the largest freah water lake in se asia,a visit here is a must as its the life blood of cambodia ..very interested to learn how they floated the limestone used tobuild angkor wat up the tonle sap lake,there is a small but imformative information centre at the floating village and not many people get to see,but well worth it,can ask your hotelto organise but insist on the tara riverboat tour,as there are many how do this without all the extras the tara gives you,including a local guide,the meals on the riverboat is free to all there customers so enjoy

Angkor Wat et al

by Penelope4

I hired a motorcycle for a day. It did not cost much because I can't even remember how much I paid. I realized that there are quite a number of single female tourists because I saw many of them in the temples I visited. And just how many temples are there in Angkor Wat? There were many but you need at least two days to see them all. My fault of not spending more days in Siem Reap.You get picked up in the morning and the driver will wait for you no matter how long it takes you in visiting each temple. Not only the temples made me speechless but the ancient trees. Couldn't help but realize that we need to respect our environment more. Many trees have survived so many of our generations. And of course respect for religion... Let us not influence others how they think about God. For all you know, they live life more meaningful than us.When I go there next time, I will buy a travel guide so I...

Ta Prohm

by Avieira67

This 12th century Mahayna Buddhist temple is one of the Angkorian era's largest monuments and has been left much as it looked when the first French explorers set eyes on it more than a century ago. Unfortunately this temple has been abandoned to riotous nature and it is quite a riot in some places.Ta Prohm has recentely been used as a set for shooting both Tomb Raider and Two Brothers.

This Buddhist temple, in the Bayon style, was built in the 13th or 14th century. Its most distinctive feature is its chimney shaped tower.Certainly is another small monument, you souldn't not miss when you are inside Angkot Thom.

Close to Preah Palilay is Phimeanakas.This Hindu tenple, in the Khleang style, was built just before the 11th century, during the reign Rajendravarman, the rebuilt by Suryavarman II in the shape of a three tier pyramid as a Hindu temple. On the top of the pyramid there was a tower.

Terrace of the Leper King

by Avieira67

This terrace is located north of the Terrace of Elephants. The statue on the top of this platform is unclear. Some believe is Yama, the god of death; others think is Yasovarman, a Khmer ruler who, according to legend, died of leprosy.The front retaining walls are decorated with seven tiers of carvings, including seated apsara (celestial nymph). Evil-looking figures are found in the hidden trech behind the fron retaining wall.

Terrace of Elephants

by Avieira67

The former terrace, topped with wooden pavilions decorated with golden framed windows, was used as a giant reviewing stand for public ceemonies and parades, and served as the king's audience hall.
