Avoid direct sunlight at ruins with little shade The light is painful and piercing☀️
Because of the nature of the Siem Reap area, there is often no wind.
The dry heat and fine sand particles easily fly up

Be sure to bring drinking water with you☝️
Wear sunglasses and a mask while traveling in a tuk-tuk🕶️
It takes 30 minutes from the city, so prepare a thin long sleeve shirt to avoid feeling the wind directly and conserve your energy (your hat will fly off👒)

There are small ups and downs inside the ruins.
The steps of the stairs The distances are not uniform. There are lots of tripping traps, so be sure to check your feet as you walk. (Photos 3 and 4) Even if it looks like it's right there, it's surprisingly far away when you walk. (Photos 5 and 6) If you're not feeling well or are tired after visiting many places, you need the courage to give up. There are three types of admission tickets: 1 day, 3 days, and 1 week. If you have time, you can enjoy it without any regrets by dividing it into several days. #Pre-trip checklist #Siem Reap #Cambodia trip #Angkor Wat #Ruins tour #Solo trip #Girls trip #Couple trip #Family trip #Heat measures
