 Throne Hall by pmarshuk In reality Phnom Penh does not have a huge number of spectacular buildings to see, it's charm lies in the people and general ambiance. However the Royal Palace is well worth a visit, here is a view of the main Throne Hall of the palace. The palace was built in the 1860's and occupies a prime site in the centre of the city just back from the riverfront. It is open daily from 7:30-11am and 2:30-5pm. Entrance costs $3 without a camera, $5 with a still camrea and $8 with a video camera. Leave a Comment

The palace construction were set up to the Khmer Traditional architecture, which I found quite similar to Thai. But then, what do I know. The palace compound is beautifully landscaped, providing many "Kodak moment" opportunities. A must visit at least once when you are in Phnom Penh. The Royal Palace opens daily from 7:30 to 11:00 and 14:00 to 17:00. All or part of the palace may be closed for special events. The entry fee is USD3. You must pay an additional USD2 to use a still camera or USD5 for a video camera. No photography is allowed inside any of the buildings. Since the palace and all the structures within face east, the best time to visit is in the early morning hours. Leave a Comment

(last date visited: Dec. 27, 2004) Entrance fee - 3 US $ Photo fee - 2 US $ I think it is better not to pay the photo fee coz since there are so many visitors in this huge place, they wont notice it. Leave a Comment

 Chan Chaya Pavillion by King_Golo Being a king myself ;-) (king_golo, to be specific), I had to visit the Royal Palace in Cambodia's capital. It's well worth a visit - magnificent buildings full of royal character! If this is your first sight to visit in Cambodia, I think you're gonna like it as the architecture is really interesting. Having seen more of Cambodia's architecture, you might find it less extraordinary. The actual houses in which the King resides cannot be visited, but you can see them from a distance. One building I particularly liked was the former dancing hall (Chan Chaya Pavillion). The Throne Hall is also very interesting. Leave a Comment

by tabatha Itīs not possible to vist the main Royal Palast, as the family is still living inside. A small part of the area is open to the public, including the Silver Pagoda. For me personaly not really a must see. Take care, itīs closed at noon. Entry fee 3 $+ 2 $ for the camera. Leave a Comment

 Throne Hall by Sharrie ROYAL PALACE: The official residence of King Norodom Sihanouk. Built in 1866 in Khmer-style, it's akin to those of Thai & Myanmar's architecture, notably golden roofs! Some of the palace grounds are off limits since it still serves as the official home of the king who spent a great deal of his time in Beijing, China. As pictured here is the Royal Throne Hall which was built in 1917 inspired by the Bayon at Angkor & hosts functions like the acceptance of credentials by foreign diplomats, coronations & public ceremonies. The palace grounds are usually open to the public except when the King is in residence. Photography is not allowed in the Royal Throne Hall. If you intend to take photos in the palace grounds, be prepared to fork out US$2 for each camera & US$3 for the video camera. The Royal Palace opens daily 7.30-11.30am, 2.30-5pm. Entrance fee is US$2 for adults. Leave a Comment
