Most Impressive Temples at Angkor Wat 🇰🇭

I spent 2 days exploring Angkor Wat ~ the biggest site of temples in the world, located near Siem Reap, Cambodia 🇰🇭

📍 Here are some of my favourite locations:

1. Angkor Wat - the main temple that everyone visits. Many people visit at sunrise for a beautiful view. Once inside, you can climb to the top and explore.

2. Ta Prohm - made famous by the Lara Croft Tomb Raider movie, the trees have taken back their place in nature with roots growing into the buildings. This one has loads of cool photo opportunities.

3. Preah Khan - a real hidden gem, there was absolutely no one else there when I visited. It’s a lot older and less restored, but that’s what gives it charm. This was probably my favourite, I was totally amazed here.

4. Royal Palace - once again I was all alone! The long path to the palace is perfect for a beautiful photo.

5. Angkor Thom - another well known temple, located in the Bayon. This was a big temple to explore (and get lost in), but I was actually more excited seeing the gate on the drive out!

INFO:

💰1 day ticket is $37, 3 days is $62 or 7 days is $72.

🎟️ Buy tickets online and print it in advance so you don’t have to go to the ticket office on site and queue.

🛺 I recommend spending at least 2 days exploring Angkor Wat. Hire a tuk tuk driver for around $20 per day ~ you can choose where you want to go, or take one of their routes.

🌅 In my opinion, you don’t need to visit Angkor Wat for sunrise. Get some extra sleep and check it out at sunset instead!
