I have been to Angkor Wat and I can only say that it's one of the most amazing sites I've ever seen. It really is an iconic temple from this region of Cambodia and without a doubt the largest one. If you want to take in the beauty of temples at sunrise or sunset, visiting 6 temples during a tour I can recommend is the best option.

Words and pictures can't do justice to the mesmerizing effect this place has on you. A place revered by people for centuries, a place to meet the divine, a place people kept alive, a place that shows you history, and a place that talks to you personally. I visited here thrice, once at a cool morning, once at scenic late evening, and once during a hot afternoon and loved it through and through. Will visit again!

It is a magnificent temple complex located in Cambodia and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dating back to the 12th century, Angkor Wat is one of the largest religious monuments in the world and is known for its intricate carvings and beautiful architecture. It is definitely a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history or architecture. If you plan on visiting Angkor Wat, we recommend bringing comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and plenty of water, as the complex is quite large and can be quite hot during the day.

Marvelous. The greatest temple complex of all time. After visiting so many temples in India, the grandeur here is not comparable at all. This temple, not in Wonders of the World, really? 1. Take a guide if you don't know about Hinduism/culture. Guide can show you the important items to visit in short span of time, also a bit of twisted history. 2. The temple was built for Vishnu, Shiva and other Hindu gods. Now mostly broken. Vishnu converted to Buddha. Lakshmi and other gods got beheaded. 3. Once certainly need 6 hours to ensure visit of all the structures (if you are on a 3 day pass). 3 hours is reasonable (if you are on one day pass, there are many temples around). 4. The inner walls (two each side, eight in total) with bas reliefs depicting Hindu concepts. Ensure to visit all, don't regret later. 5. The central sanctorum is in the third level, steep climbing. Old Vishnu/Shiva references have got cemented. Still you can have a good view of the complex from the top. Visited during August, not much crowd.

This place has such an amazing vibe. It is a pleasure to be here and experience the rich history of Love between Hinduism & Buddhism. You must plan to visit here one day in advance. You have to personally visit the ticket centre where they will take your pictures and print on ticket as well. I took one day pass but you can also take 3 or 7 day pass. There are 11 temples to visit only in inner circle that may take 2 - 3 days. I visited only main temple and other temple where TOMB RIDER was shoot. Beautiful place. Must visit

The day these photos were taken was characterized by overcast and gloomy weather. Despite the day's dullness, the black and white filter applied to the images adds an authentic touch that perfectly captures the moment's mood. The monochrome effect creates a timeless feel and highlights the intricate details of the images, such as the textures, patterns, and shadows. I hope you enjoy the photos and appreciate the artistic expression conveyed through them 🌹

This is one of the most beautiful places on earth, the eighth wonder of the world, such a magical experience! It’s a phenomenon that they can preserve heaven on earth for 2000 years. This is where the vortex is keeping this place, pristine and allowing us all to enjoy. It is a miracle. Thousand years later it still here be sure and visit

Went for the sunrise tour and was not disappointed. It's an incredible structure that took 30 years to build, and the stones were transported from a Quarry 70km away by bamboo boat and elephant. The views as the sun rises are amazing

10/10 recommend. Get a 3 day pass. We had a small group on mopeds and went from sun up to sun down. Spent 13 hrs in the park and it still wasn’t enough. I’d recommend 3x 6 hour days to cut it up and really appreciate the temples. Doing them all day long got exhausting. I’d also recommend doing them on your own on mopeds if you’re more of a go at your own pace type of person. Was fairly inexpensive as you can find mopeds all around town. *important note: Must buy tickets in advance. All roads that lead to temples will have a little booth you have to stop at to present your ticket. They occasionally will ask you in the parks as well.

We visited Angkor Wat on Sat 30 Mar 2024. It was an amazing place. The way of construction, the layout, the stone sculptures were fascinating. It was sad to see the ruins but imagine how magnificent it would have been in its heyday in the 12th century. The downside was the heat and the humidity. But, it was well worth the visit!

Angkor Wat at the early morning (Sunrise) was amazing. Angkor Wat Temple is the largest religious in the world by land area of South East Asia. As the best-preserved temple at the site, Angkor Wat is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. Highly recommended to visit Angkor Wat. At Lest Once in life.

Truly the experience of a lifetime! We took a tour to see the sunrise over the temple and it was truly an amazing site. Almost the entire temple complex is open to be explored. You can visit the first, second, and the top levels of the temple. It was originally built as a Hindu Temple and was later converted into a Buddhist temple. Tons of history at the site. Beautiful carvings in the walls.

Angkor Wat was breath taking, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity you do not want to pass up. Be sure to arrive early for the sunrise, I recommend finding a nice hill to watch the sunrise and don’t bother taking a photos like me because there are better ones online. Just sit back and enjoy the sunrise. The temple itself is extremely detailed I spend hours roaming around absorbing all the ancient architecture. Don’t rush it, take your time and soak it all in. Also I recommend reading about the history, it’s quite fascinating and will give great inside into what your actually seeing.

It is so majestic. I have visited many times and I never get tired of it. The reliefs are so interesting and active. We went at opening and we were the only people there for about an hour. All the sun rise watchers left as we arrived around 7.

Magnificent temple complex, slowly being restored. Spent 5 hours touring the grounds. The temple is a mix of early Hindu and Buddhist artwork, and climbing the central structure offers great views of the temple grounds and jungle.

The greatest wonder in Cambodia. I love the ancient, peaceful beauty of this place and the green of nature inside the large temple. Many visitors here so don’t worry about being lost. Wearing short skirt is not allowed to go inside the temple (short pants and long skirt is allowed), if you wear short skirt, you need to buy sarong at the tourist area’s shop. By the way, be careful with monkeys inside the temple!

It is astounding and an impressive temple. Don't get me wrong...it is really really impressive. I was staying there for more than 2 hours and didn't want to leave. So why only four and not five stars. The outside is as I described impressive the inside not so. Yes you can walk through most of it see some statues and reliefs but I was flashed from the outside not the inside. We could walk up toe the third level and again the view of the outside amazing. It is a total must do of things to see in life 👍

Angkor Wat is truly breathtaking. We only stayed for 2 hours with the tour guide but wish we stayed longer! So much to see and really need a 3 day tour to see it all. The temples and architecture is out of this world. Can't much more than what has already been said in other reviews. Definitely should be on the top of your list of places to visit while I'm Cambodia.

Angkor Wat 🛕 is a breathtaking masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of time and culture. Nestled in the heart of 🇰🇭 Cambodia , this ancient temple complex is a testament to the ingenuity and architectural prowess of the Khmer civilization. The sheer scale of Angkor Wat is awe-inspiring, with its towering spires, intricate bas-reliefs, and expansive courtyards. Stepping into Angkor Wat feels like entering a living history book, where each stone tells a story of a bygone era. The intricate carvings on the temple walls depict scenes from Hindu epics and Khmer daily life, providing a vivid glimpse into the rich tapestry of Cambodian heritage. The sunrise and sunset views over the iconic lotus pond create a surreal atmosphere, casting a golden hue upon the ancient stones and transforming the temple into a mesmerizing spectacle. The preservation efforts undertaken by Cambodia and UNESCO are commendable, allowing visitors to marvel at the grandeur of Angkor Wat while respecting its historical significance. Exploring the temple's labyrinthine corridors and ascending to its uppermost levels provide a unique perspective, rewarding adventurers with panoramic views of the surrounding jungle and distant temple spires. Angkor Wat is not merely a static monument; it's a living testament to the resilience of Cambodia's cultural identity. Visiting this UNESCO World Heritage site is a profound journey through time, offering a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship, spirituality, and architectural brilliance that define Angkor Wat as one of humanity's greatest cultural treasures. Notes - Take enough time if you are visiting its huge and interesting Take Guide for all information carry water bottle wear comfortable clothes and foot wear

If it's in your bucket list, do it. Visiting this place is like no other. Only 90 of the 300 temples are in good condition. The main heritage site which is protected by UNESCO is a lot of walk. Contrary to what many visitors are told, the sunset can't be viewed from the site as it closes at 5 pm. The option is to climb on the hill near the entrance, the sunrise is a more realistic option. Worth to pay a photographer to take your photos and the local guides are very knowledgeable. The tickets can be bought online.

One the world's most amazing Khmer temple complexes. Large, fascinating, highly pleasant. Was constructed around 1100ad, took some 49 years I believe. Must see.

A breathtaking temple complex, beautiful from both the western and eastern entrances although the eastern with the palm trees and water was especially gorgeous. We went around 4pm on a weekday and it wasn’t too crowded. We hired a tour guide, who was helpful for showing us around and telling us all the detailed stories of the religion and history, although it also would be a nice place to explore at your own pace and feel uninhibited taking pictures.

I'm not a morning person but decided to do the sunrise tour of this temple complex and can say that getting up at 4am was totally worth it. The place is magical and the changing colors and mirror effect in the lake are amazing. Make sure to pack lots of water. It's hot and humid (another reason why going super early in the morning to this temple complex is a good idea).

Beautiful temple. Seeing it for sunrise is very beautiful and a good way to walk around before it gets too hot. I would recommend having a tour guide walk you through to tell you about the history and architecture! The stairs to get to the top are very steep but you can see great views from up there.

I went to see the sunrise and while it was slightly cloudy and it was not as amazing as expected, the whole experience was great. Arriving at night and navigating it in the darkness was really nice and it made the way back really especial. Really recommend going to the end of the temple and going back along the edge of the temple instead of through it. I actually found the temple less crowded that I expected.

Angkor Wat in Krong Siem Reap, Cambodia is a truly wondrous place, and a must-visit for anyone traveling to the region. It is one of the largest religious monuments in the world, and its architecture is simply breathtaking. I recently had the opportunity to visit Angkor Wat, and I was absolutely overwhelmed by its beauty and grandeur. I arrived at the temple complex early in the morning, before sunrise, and the crowds were already starting to gather. But even with so many people around, the atmosphere was still peaceful and serene. As the sun began to rise, the temple was bathed in a golden glow, and it was truly a sight to behold. I spent the entire day exploring Angkor Wat, and I still didn't feel like I had seen everything. The temple complex is vast, and there is so much to see and do. If you are planning a visit to Angkor Wat, I highly recommend that you take your time and explore at your own pace. There is no need to rush. Just relax and soak up the atmosphere of this truly magical place.

Wear comfortable shoes, lots of bug spray and plan to spend most of your day exploring! Angkor Wat, is a breath taking temple and hold’s so much importance to the Cambodian people that it should definitely be added to your must see places when visiting Siem Reap! I would recommend going for the sunrise viewing, but manage your expectations! There will be lots of other people there too and so finding a good photo spot might be a little tricky. If you would like a photo with a reflection of the temple, get to the lake on the right side of the temple as early as possible, otherwise a good spot is at one of the libraries just in front of the temple. After the temple doors open you can explore the grounds at your leisure, this was my favourite part. Warning: to get to the highest tower the stairs are very steep and the platform rocks a little, please take your time and be safe.

"Visiting Angkor Wat was an awe-inspiring experience! The grandeur of the temple complex, surrounded by lush greenery, left me speechless. Exploring the intricate carvings and towering structures felt like stepping back in time. Despite the crowds, the serene atmosphere within the temple grounds allowed me to appreciate the beauty and history of this UNESCO World Heritage site. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a glimpse into Cambodia's rich cultural heritage."

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Angkor Wat Temple, a world heritage site known for its stunning carvings and intricate architecture. Everyone in the world should visit this amazing temple at least once in life. It has beautiful views both Sunrise and Sunset. I always feel fresh when I arrived this temple 🥰

This must be a wonder of human civilization, the greatest monument of Hinduism and surreal sanctuary. The structure has zero flaw and every single detail is done properly, and the size of Angkor Wat is massive. Hard to believe that people back then could erect such complex without modern technology. You can’t miss this temple when traveling to Cambodia

Angkor Wat, a testament to architectural brilliance, is a mesmerizing marvel nestled in Cambodia. This UNESCO World Heritage site, deeply rooted in Hindu and Buddhist history, reflects the rich cultural heritage of India. Its intricate carvings and captivating aura instill a sense of pride in every Hinduthva heart. A must-visit for those seeking spiritual enlightenment and historical grandeur.

Bucket list item - Check. What a wonderful place to visit and just be amazed by the wonder of history. Take your time and visit all the spots on maybe 2 or 3 days. Tried to see everything in one day and was wiped out by 3pm. Still had a great day. Totally worth it.

The best place to see sunrise at the Angkor Wat temple. I do recommend you to purchase ticket online by website: Angkor Enterprise (only one website). It’s convenient for you guys when you have online ticket so u no need to go to the Angkor Park Pass Ticket Counter. I do strongly suggest you take a local guide as in Angkor wat temple, there are a lot of historical, religious and cultural. You will probably spend at least 3 hour there. Amazing temple !!!

The best way for solo travelers is to rent a moped for the day and visit all the temples at your own leisure. On the way you may get stopped to check if you have a ticket. Also they check tickets at the entrances of the temples. Park your moped and walk to the temples it's the easiest and quickest way if you're short on time.

This is my favorite temple at the Angkor Wat archaeological Park. You absolutely have to visit this place. This particular temple was built by a conquering king, who wanted to return the empire to its roots of Buddhism, as opposed to the Hindu king before him. This was the inspiration for the “many faces of Buddha” that can be found here at Bayon temple. A major structural restoration process has been going on during the coronavirus pandemic, seizing the opportunity with a lack of tourism to work hard to bring back some life to the delicate, yet very ornate and detailed temple complex. The last time I visited the park, I needed special permission to view the upper terrace of the temple as it was closed for construction purposes.

Absolutely stunning! I am short of weds to explain this historic marvel. Very well kept. Please be respectful to the culture. I noticed so many countries that are part of restoration like india, Japan and Germany. It’s a must visit place and once in a life time experience

This temple is one of my favorite places that I have been. Something about the faces bring out a strong mystical reaction in me.

Another fantastic temple. Not as much walking as other temples but do beware or the steep and uneven stairs and grounds. It is easier to buy tickets prior to going but you can just buy tickets at the entrance. 09/2023

Incredible temple surrounded by a great expanse of greenery and other, smaller temples. Also lots of monkeys to see running around! A definite must see on your temple tour.

My favourite temple with iconic stone Buddha faces, embodies a mystical allure that resonates through the ages. Exploring the labyrinthine corridors and ascending the steep stairs to be greeted by the gazing faces of Bayon is an experience that immerses visitors in a captivating blend of history, artistry, and spiritual significance.

A very cool temple. There was a lot of monkeys though and one tried to steal my husband's water bottle. But it was a very beautiful place.

What a wonderful temple ancient people had ever built there. No matter how many times you have been there you will always feel amazed by the views the temple provides you.

Historical beauty in the giant circle of temple. Recommend knowing the story behind this temple as you travel, it'll feel really special understanding ilits popularity and purpose. Full of sculptures and pictures on the wall to decipher and understand. It's a shame the top part was under construction or was access blocked as that's usually the best part for Bayon temple, seeing the faces up close.

Bayon temple is amazing.. The place is very clean.. I went here by touring group.. And my tour guide was very good explain the history of the temple..It is good to know the story of the temple rather than just walk around..

It's a beautiful temple maze. Don't get separated from your group though. Then it becomes a scary version of temple run, dodging angry monkeys and trying to find your friends 😂. Incredible experience though and definitely worth spending some time at

Part of the Angkor Wat complex the Bayon temple is exceptionally beautiful. I had done a bit of research prior to my visit and so I had an idea of what to expect. I have to admit though, the pictures I had seen did not convey the actual beauty of the temple. This is really a beautiful temple, I can personally assure you, you will not be disappointed.

Bayon Temple, located in the Angkor Archaeological Park in Cambodia, is a remarkable historical site that warrants a balanced review. Positives: 1. Architectural Marvel: Bayon Temple is renowned for its unique and intricate architecture. The temple's 54 towers are adorned with 216 smiling stone faces, creating a sense of awe and wonder among visitors. 2. Historical Significance: As part of the Angkor complex, Bayon Temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and holds great historical and cultural importance. It provides valuable insights into the Khmer civilization that thrived in the region. 3. Spiritual Atmosphere: Many visitors find a sense of tranquility and spirituality within the temple's confines. The serene atmosphere, coupled with the sound of birds and rustling leaves, adds to the overall experience. Negatives: 1. Crowds: Bayon Temple is a popular tourist destination, and it can get extremely crowded, especially during peak seasons. This can detract from the sense of serenity and make it challenging to fully appreciate the site. 2. Preservation Challenges: Over the years, Bayon Temple has faced issues related to conservation and restoration. The ongoing battle against nature and erosion has resulted in some parts of the temple being inaccessible or in disrepair. 3. Accessibility: For some visitors, the uneven terrain and steep stairs at Bayon Temple may pose challenges, making it less accessible to those with mobility issues. In conclusion, Bayon Temple is a mesmerizing historical site with its own set of positives and negatives. It's a must-visit for history enthusiasts and those interested in ancient architecture. However, the crowds and preservation challenges may slightly diminish the overall experience for some visitors.

Amazing temple, probably the most enigmatic of the entirety of Angkor Thom. Sadly the upper terrace is closed for restoration until 2025.

Beautiful temple grounds with the truly unique smiling Buddha faces throughout. Not easy to walk around though; lots of uneven stone paths and dark places. I literally sprained my ankle walking down some uneven stairs. So just a heads up.

Wow! I really loved visiting this temple! It was truly stunning and huge ! You are able to walk around most of the temple but the higher levels are not accessible. The carvings on the walls were so well preserved and fascinating to look at. Bayon Temple also seems to be home to a family of monkeys and they roam around the temple grounds with you! Great visit and it was quiet compared to Angkor Wat.

Bayon temple was our favourite temple of the day. It was relatively quiet when we got there and it had the feeling that you were really exploring the temple. There are loads of incredible carvings in the walls the smiling Buddhas are so unique. Definitely don’t miss this temple if you’re visiting Angkor Wat. It’s included in the cost of the Angkor Wat ticket.

Pictures just could never do this temple justice. There is something about the depth of the towers that you can't capture on a camera. I recommend going with a guide to hear some interesting facts and stories about the temple. Otherwise some details would be lost on the casual viewer.

Bayon Temple is absolutely beautiful! I love the carvings and the stories they tell. You can spend hours just looking at the different carvings. The faces are amazing. I'd recommend hiring a tour guide. Bayon Temple is an absolute must see in Siem Reap! I'd definitely recommend!

We went to see Angkor Wat and had our driver take us around to a few of the surrounding temples. I keep saying this but pictures just cannot do these places justice. It is an experience being here and being able to see each stone carving in person. Wear comfortable shoes you'll be climbing up stone stairways and walking across dirt and stones. If you are going to come all the way to see Angkor Wat, ask your driver to come here too and the other temples. It's well worth the time.

Lovely temple in the middle of a long abandoned city. It is slowly being restored. It is a great example of the spires showing the four smiling faces of Buddha, and murals showing early Khmer history.

Unique ancient temple with the face of a king carved into its several towers. Intricate wall and mural carvings similar to Angkor Wat.

Very happy I visited this temple, less crowded and fun to look around and explore. You can hear the sound of birds outside and bats from the inside. And you can even see some monkeys outside when entering.

This place is a must see Wow! I really loved visiting this temple! It was truly stunning and huge so much to see and amazing colourful architecture ! You are able to walk around most of the temple but the higher levels are not accessible this is so magical. The carvings on the walls were so well preserved and fascinating to look at you need a 3 day pass to see all of the temples. Bayon Temple also seems to be home to a family of monkeys and they roam around the temple grounds with you! Great visit and it was quiet compared to Angkor Wat get ready for a magical day out

There are monkeys walking around, bats flying in the temple, everything is so beautiful! You need to take all the time you have to observe the ruins, every sculpture, every drawing sculpted on the wall. It may be hot during the day, but the sweat is worth it !

This is one of the three large temples. Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Prohm. This one has nice wall carvings and smiling face sculptures. Unfortunately it is not well protected.

Lovely temple in the Angkor complex with a rich history. If you book a tour guide this will probably be included in the main stops, otherwise go and see it for yourself. It may be a bit crowded given most tours stop here but try and go early in the day and you might be luckier. It’s also got some really intricate and interesting scenes on a wall outside the main temple that is worth taking some time to explore and read about for further context. It was undergoing some maintenance works when we visited in April 2024, but nothing that detracted from the overall experience.

The iconic temple of Angkor civilization and one of the main attractions when visiting Siam Reap. The Bayon Temple is the heart of Angkor Thom (citadel). It’s breathtaking and gorgeous, every detail is properly carved on stones

One of the most majestic temples. Beautifully carved. 4 faces buddha everywhere, so beautiful. One which is considered flat, no need to hike to explore the temple. Narrow passages after you enter the temple, somehow feels like a labyrinth. But dont worry you see guards everywhere and you wont get lost inside. Must see object!!

So to see the face of the king carved everywhere facing all those who view thus temple is impressive Especially since you don't necessarily see the faces at first glance Then you start to notice them everywhere and it is fun to find them once you know where to look

The amount of incredible detail carvings is unimaginable, what is sad is how much more details we will lose each decade as they are exposed to the nature and tough environment. After spending many hot hours at Angkor Wat we were thirsty, hot and tired by the time we got to this smaller temple. My tour guide was so enthusiastic about this temple and the large face carvings, the history of them and who they were, but all I saw were the large faces and hear and remember a faction of the informations that he had shared with me, stupid me🤦🏻‍♂️ We shouldn’t have come in March the beginning of their hot season, should have come in slightly cooler December so we would have pay better attention.

This was the first temple on our Small Tour offered by our hotel. Like most of the temples,the detailing ,carvings and intricacies of workmanship is just phenomenal. To portray life at the time, their values, and creating these temples that still stand, is remarkable. Granted, after almost a thousand years, restoration is needed, and it’s good to see various countries contributing to this. We saw monks visiting in their orange robes which was a privilege. Recommend buying tickets online if starting early, however, you can purchase on the day. Just present ticket when entering temple area. Keeping it on your mobile is fine. Be prepared for steep stairs. It’s hot, so bring hat, glasses, water and good walking shoes. Women cover shoulders.

I visited here on June 30 2023. Ta Prohm temple stands humbly in the deep jungle and is swallowed up by massive Banyan trees. I was exploring this thousand years old relic, timeless mystery.

From all temples around this one is the nicest. Just because it's not renovated and basically a big pile of stones. Personally I love the raw nature and the sense of ruins you'll find here. You can easily spent an hour or 2 here.vert less tourist compared to other temples. It also has. Lot of "inside" so you're covered against the sun.

Ta Prohm , was for me, the most impressive site in the area. The jungle has grown into, over and around the ancient ruins. It is truly amazing and unique. This also happens to be a site location for one of the Tomb Raider movies. This location is certainly worth the time and effort to visit.

It was a wonderful experience visiting this beautiful temple. Then I was told that the movie Tomb Raider was shot here. As part of the World Heritage Sites, it was very satisfying to see that countries around the world are helping restore and preserve this beautiful temple.

A really unique temple to visit! It was really fascinating to see how the trees had managed to grow despite the temples presence. It was the first temple we visited on our temple run and by far one of my favourites. The grounds the temple is sat on are truly beautiful and surrounded by nature, and there are musicians playing Cambodian music as you walk around which really adds to the surreal atmosphere. Fantastic temple!

Another unique temple within the Angkor complex. Here you’ll find various structures with trees and other plants that have grown into and around these structures. It is also know as the filming site for Tomb Raider The way through this temple is not as straight forward, so enjoy the time getting lost and meandering through the halls of this temple and observing how the earth has reclaimed this masterpiece If you look closely, you might even seen the “Dinosaur of Ta Prohm”

This smaller temple is very popular with tourists for two reasons, it was used in the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider movie and is home to trees that entwine the ancient building creating a maze of carved stone and root systems that some find enticing. The temple is slowly being restored though there is a debate on whether to remove the trees or leave them as they are. Much of the temple is still in ruins however.

Astonishing temple. Honestly i liked this one the most because od the synergy with nature. It's full of huge trees that are all over the walls. Must see during your Angkor watt tour. I didn't go with a guide and explored the place on my own, still was very nice experience

Ta Prohm Temple in Siem Reap is a captivating destination that transports you to another era. The presence of ancient trees intertwining with the temple's structures creates a surreal ambiance, making you feel alive amidst the remnants of the past. The intricate carvings and weathered stone walls tell stories of the Khmer Empire, showcasing their remarkable craftsmanship. The interplay between nature and man-made elements is what sets Ta Prohm apart, as the sprawling roots breathe new life into the ruins. Exploring the temple's nooks and crannies, you'll feel a sense of adventure and curiosity, escaping the outside world. Arriving early allows you to fully absorb the atmosphere and appreciate the temple's beauty, while being mindful of the preservation efforts. Ta Prohm Temple is a must-visit, where ancient architecture and nature's touch come together in a mesmerizing display of history's grandeur.

For most of our party, this was the favorite temple. It feels jungly and overgrown in a good way, with ficus trees strangling and cracking the ancient walls. Much of this temple is in disrepair, which again adds to the feeling. There are nooks and hidden courtyards that made my boys feel like they were proper explorers. Much of this temple and the paths are shaded which was a welcome relief from the midday heat.

Another amazing sacred temple from the ancient Khmer kingdom! I and my wife spent two well spent hours admiring and going inside and out of these ancient ruins overgrown with also ancient tall banyan trees. Still beautiful and majestic.

Honestly the visuals of this place are amazing. Don't skip this place, seeing how the trees are both holding the place together but also pushing it to collapse are amazing. There are some crowds but be patient and you will get nice pictures.

Very calm place with beautiful trees! The trees feel magical. The temple is in ruins. It was Shiva temple. The sheer no of huge boulders lying around which were part of the temple... gives an idea of how huge it was.

Very beautiful temple. Despite Hollywood tomb raiders movie scene location’s being taken from here the temple is truly worthwhile visit. I would have spent half a day here specially being a cool surrounding with trees.

Absolutely mind-blowing temple. Worldwide famous from Tomb Raider. Lots of people. But absolutely MUST see. Words and pictures cannot describe the vibe of this place.

This is a really cool temple but not very wheelchair friendly. We are traveling and documenting accessibility. This temple is really cool, and there are a lot of things to see. The entrance can be a challenge so do to the exit - use the wooden bridge and steps to have it more easier for you. The path is quite a challenge, but it works :) You see many great carvings and it's really cool with all the trees and roots. Comes to show how powerful mother nature really is.

I enjoyed Ta Prohm Temple a lot more than Ankor Wat or other temples in the town. Just a surreal experience to witness the beautiful harmony of old structures (or ruins) and nature coexisting together. I would love to visit here again in the future.

This iconic temple complex was notably used in the movie Tomb Raider, but that is hardly the story of the temple in general. This was a major city center with a population in the surrounding area of close to 100,000 people at the height of its glory. The ancient ruins have been taken over by the giant trees and their root systems, and it is really a magnificent archaeological site to observe because it has been taken back by the elements, and I suppose that gives it a certain allure in its own unique way. I found myself wandering around this part of the park for hours on end, on any given occasion that I had visited. As with many of the temples, the grounds for one particular place is sprawling and very vast. Take your time to pay attention to the detail, because the ornate carvings and vibrant colors of the stones are a real sight to see. This is definitely one of my favorite temple complexes in the kingdom of Cambodia, and I highly recommend visiting this one in particular.

Ta Prohm: An evocative temple reclaimed by the jungle, where nature and architecture intertwine in poetic harmony. It's a hauntingly beautiful testament to impermanence and time's relentless march, with the temple's dilapidated stones embraced by giant root systems. A visit feels like stepping into a different world, a movie set—or more accurately, the movie sets have tried to replicate the magic of Ta Prohm. Yet, it's not just the aesthetic appeal but also the historical and archaeological significance that make this site truly mesmerizing. Note: its popularity means it can be crowded, but it remains a must-see in Angkor."

Ta Prohm Temple was a breathtaking fusion of nature and ancient architecture. The sprawling tree roots engulfing the ruins created an awe-inspiring, timeless spectacle. It's an unforgettable journey into an enchanting world where the past meets the present in the most captivating manner.

This is my favorite temple of all. It is much appreciative when you get a chance to see it with your own eyes. Located in the MIDDLE of the jungle but you would say it’s a real hidden gems. A MUST TO VISIT ONCE IN YOUR LIFE.

This might be my favorite temple of all. The state of it, with the trees and all the green around makes the atmosphere great. We arrived there at around 8:30 and there was just enough people that you were able to walk around at times without anybody in sight.

A beautiful site that mother nature is slowly taking back. It was less crowded compared to Ankor Wat. We enjoyed the not so busy aspect of this site. it's a bit more relaxing here compared to the more popular sites

Quite big temple, very busy as it was made popular by the film Tomb Raider. The temple was built with no mortar so after it was abandoned the trees took root in the loosened stones. It is part of UNESCO World Heritage List.

Among all the temples at Angkor, Ta Prohm is perhaps the most atmospheric and mysterious one, with the massive roots of banyan trees covering its structures. It was also a film location for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. If you don’t have much time to explore Angkor Archaeological Park, make sure you put this temple on the top of your list.

I can so see Indiana Jones running through here, so authentic and full of history. The only things missing are the snakes, poison arrows, head hunters or any kinds of danger. Of course Hollywood misplaces history, locations and everything in between. Nevertheless this temple with all the giant trees growing out of giant stones and temples are so fascinating.

I went to see this temple after 24 years and it brought tears to my eyes realizing how much it had changed. I remembered it as a true jungle place and now it seems so open and the path to it from the street was swept clean. Apart from that, many more stones had toppled over and seemed to have been moved into specific locations; hopefully, as part of a restoration effort. The last two photos show pictures from an on-site display of a couple of areas that have been restored. It is still an amazing temple to visit

This temple in good condition for the age and compered to others but don't expect this to be complete. The carvings are remarkably sharp and tell stories of times past. Best to geta guide as it is quite easy to get lost although there are plenty of guides about.

The Ta Prohm temple is truly a mesmerizing sight to behold. Its ancient stone structures intertwined with towering trees create an enchanting atmosphere, making it feel like stepping into another world. Exploring its intricate corridors and hidden chambers feels like unraveling a mystery frozen in time. The intricate carvings and moss-covered walls add to the sense of wonder and evoke a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship of the past. Visiting Ta Prohm was a memorable journey into Cambodia's rich history and a must-see for any traveler exploring the Angkor Archaeological Park.

Undoubtedly the most atmospheric temple in Angkor Wat, totally sureal and should be top of the list for everyone visiting Camboodia. The crumbling towers and walls are being strangled by the roots and trees of the jungle; nature is claiming back what was originally hers. The atmosphere is serene and peaceful and you can feel the beauty of nature and the history of the past. A unique, magical, mystical and secretive appeal and an other-worldly experience not to be missed.

Cool temple! I stopped here because they filmed Tomb Raider's the Lost Arch. Amazing mix of architecture with nature!

Pretty cool place to just chill and hang out. Love music in some venues and so much food to choose from.

Great place to hang, walk around. But prepared to face a crowdy affair, as it gets full of locals & tourists after sunset. Many restaurants, bars, salons, and shopping centers are dotted along the street. One can try fish spa, or snakewines, etc unique experiences.

One of the iconic place in Siem Reap which boasts of its night life such as Pubs, Disco Bars as well as great restaurants and Shopping centers and spas and massage centers fit for both locals and foreigners. Almost all that you need for a one stop entertainment is here already that you don’t want to go anywhere

Great place to hang around, look and eat. There are many options available.

Super hectic street full of strange bar karaoke and nightclub only for tourists ... Prices expensive . Avoid the district. U can find nice bars and restaurants around at fair prices and good service. Beware of pickpockets

A must see street. Fun to be there so many choices in regards of food and drinks.

A riveting colourful plethora of music, lights and energy. Plentiful amount of food stalls, clubs, ice cream, smoothies, art shops, massage parlours and other substances offered at discretion, if you are so inclined. Parking for a small fee around the area with helpful attendants.

Great place to chill out after admiring the majestic Angkor War! The local ANGKOR beer is a Must Try!!!

Cool place to walk around and find a place to eat. This area is filled with lots of vendors and western restaurants.

Great nightlife option and all are doing special deals and buy 1 get 1 etc etc

Party. Dance. Drink. Be alone or together. This area is the vibe heart of Siem Reap. The nightlife of the culture city. The escape from temples or the start of desire for peace. What ever it does for you. You'll have your food here. And a drink. A song maybe.

Best place to spend the night in Siem Reap - Cambodia. A lot of restaurants, beer clubs, pubs, street food, etc. Good for those who want the noisy and energised atmosphere.

Great street with so so much very nice restourants, pubs, massage salon, shops with local art shops, souvenirs, coctail bars, pubs and very nice pizza.s shop also, all street has a great music from e everywhere….

Pub street reminds me of all these southeast party town serving the young tourists who wants to get drunk cheap. Lots of loud music, blinking lights, young girls in skimpy clothes asking passers by to come on in. We must we there during the low season as it was too crowded or loud. Seem much worse and louder in Thailand.

Bright lights, lots to drink and eat. Music was a bit loud in some places but overall cool spot.

The Kool Bar & swimming pool at The Sanctuary Residence really enjoy relaxing and beautiful best recommend for holiday in Siem reap

The copy of famous walking street of Thailand..a go to place for party lovers in Siem reap Cambodia, the entire street is full of cafés, bar, restaurant and clubs ..The street is lively and full of performers performing either live music or show of juggling or gymnastics..lots of street vendors selling colourful stuffs..overall a good experience and time well spent.

Nice walking area, get busy and loud ✨✨🥳🤪

Today I have time to review Angkor Thom.

On 30th June 2023, I enjoyed the time to walk around Angkor Thom quietly alone in the beautiful scenery.

So impressed!!!!

In July, very calm. No words to express the splendor of this site.
