Angkor Wat, Siem Reap

had tix and would be a arriving just about now...had the tsunami not wiped out my wifes concurrent plans to Tokyo...so sad...but another time...I will get there...

In Siem Reap campus is really have many temples it 's really over 3000 temples and in Cambodia have many temple in other area.

The arts there are very beautiful.....:)....................... I heard there about 3000 temples located in Cambodia, is it true?

Angkor is the largest religious site in the world and the soul of Khmer nation. The photo with the tree is Taprohm temple, another in small circuit not inside Angkor Thom, it's the temple where Tomb Raider was filmed. Angkor Tom was the last former capital of Khmer empire, which covers an area of 9 square km, it composes many temples in this compound, including the famous temple of Bayon with many towers and faces. Bayon's my favorite temple.

The Angkor Wat was an impressive sight and as I walked towards the temples and I felt a sense of serenity and calm. The carvings on the walls hold stories that centuries old that I can only imagine. The Bayon temple are also impressive though not quite it is not quite the scale of Angkor Wat. I took lots of pictures and look at them from time to time!

Both Tikal and Angkor are the among the most amazing places I have ever been too. Can't wait to explore the rest of this world eventually. real life amusement parks!

I really enjoyed our day touring Angkor Wat and Bayon temples. I could have spent a couple days just looking around Angkor Thom City, but I was with a tour group. The only negative comment I have is not completely negative toward the city itself. There were a lot of beggars and peddlars present. I felt bad for them, but they were hard to say no to. When you said no, they persisted. It was difficult. This was a trend I saw all over Cambodia, though, so this was not isolated to Angkor Thom City. The temples were beautiful, though. I'd recommend anyone who travels to Cambodia to see them.

Those who haven't been there shouldn't post bad comments about this place or any place... Before ever visiting Angkor, I just thought it was another very old building. But after visiting it in 2007, my thought changed completely... Of course the whole trip to Cambodia wasn't all that pleasant; ran into fraudsters, and a few rude people. But there were also friendly people, interesting transportations, good food, and a rich culture to discover. Angkor Wat was unlike anything I've come across... walking through it, I felt I was walking into the past; the beautiful structures, amazing carvings that told the story of the people in that era... The place was magnificent. The land and man made water channel that surrounded the land and the ruin. The long stone walkway and rail... leading to the most amazing ruins. I don't know how other felt. But i felt like i was there, in the past. I could see how the people lived, the culture, how the Apsara dancers came to live.... so beautiful...... I'm hoping to experience it again someday... I would recommend this place for all travelers. Advise thou, research locations and prices so you wouldn't get ripped off. Blend in, and don't make yourself look like a tourist. Stay in contact with the people you're with and the people at the hotel. Try different foods at different stands and restaurants. Meet and talk to different people to understand their lifestyle and culture better... And lastly... Enjoy yourself... It is a vacation...

no international travel is complete without a trip to Angkor Wat. Architecture, excellent hotels and sunset reminds you to go back. spend at least two nights.

Enormous and Spectacular! Thousand Tons of Giant Stones were ideally carved into unbelievable features. I could not believe my eyes when I first arrived at the huge ancient gate. Every thing was wonderful: the sites, people and food. Anyway, food is interesting and cheap there!
