Angkor Wat symbolizes Mount Meru, home of the gods, and considered the pinnacle of Khmer architecture. This Vishnuite temple is the King’s funerary temple, which is why the temple is oriented to the west. Inside the temple the walls are covered by carvings and bas-reliefs depicting the Hindu mythology and the wars during the reign of Suryavarman II. As well, Angkor Wat is well-known for the 1800 Apsara dancers decorating the temple. It is said to take a lifetime to discover all the wonders of this temple.

Angkor Thom City complex - continue to the Great City of Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Great Khmer Empire under the reign of Jayavarman VII. This city is surrounded by an 8 meters high wall; each side of the city is 3 kilometers long. It draws a perfect square with access to this town through 5 gates; 4 of them representing the cardinal points and the 5th one being the Victory Gate leading directly to the Royal Palace area.

You will arrive via the South Gate, an impressive stone gate carved with Elephants and 4 giant faces. On each side is a row of 54 gods or demons holding the sacred Naga snake.

After passing through the South Gate, you will go along a shaded road to the Bayon temple. This temple lies exactly in the center of the city. The particularity of this monument is the 54 towers representing the 54 provinces of the then Great Khmer Empire. Each tower has 4 faces. This is the only temple in Cambodia depicting scenes of the everyday life at the time of the empire.

From the Bayon continue by walking to the Baphoun recently re-opened to the public. There you will pass by the Phimeanakas, the location of the Royal Palace. The only remaining features are a pond and a temple. The palace was made of wood and did not survive the time and the wars.

Ta Prohm Ruins (known as Tomb Raider temple) & small circuit - continue to Ta Prohm, one of the most popular temples of the Angkor Complex. This temple was built in the memory of the King Jayavarman VII’s mother. When found by the French conservators at the end of the 19th century, they deliberately left this temple in the same condition as it was discovered, overgrown by strangler fig and silk-cotton trees, giving the temple a mystical and romantic appeal.

Your visit will also include Banteay Kdei, a Buddhist monastery from the late 12th century, Srah Srang, also known as the "pool of ablution", the identical twin temples of Tommanon and Chaosay Tevoda, and Krovan temple.

After completion of border crossing, you will be chauffeured on a private luxury AC vehicle by our Cambodian driver to Siem Reap, Cambodia. The drive approximately takes two hours.

Siem Reap - is the provincial capital of Siem Reap province. This small town crossed by a river coming from the Kulen mountain is the gateway for the visit of the Angkor Park which is over 400 km2 and is home of more than 100 temples dating from the 9th to 13th century.

Upon arrival at Angkor ticket counter in Siem Reap, you will be met and welcomed by our English speaking guide. After buying your temple passes (temple passes are included), you will be transferred for the breakfast. Breakfast at local restaurant in front of Angkor Wat (at your own cost).

Angkor Wat - after breakfast, visit the magnificent temple built by Suryavarman II in the early 12th century. Angkor Wat symbolizes Mount Meru, home of the gods, and considered the pinnacle of Khmer architecture. This Vishnuite temple is the King’s funerary temple, which is why the temple is oriented to the west. Inside the temple the walls are covered by carvings and bas-reliefs depicting the Hindu mythology and the wars during the reign of Suryavarman II. As well, Angkor Wat is well-known for the 1800 Apsara dancers decorating the temple. It is said to take a lifetime to discover all the wonders of this temple.

Angkor Thom City complex - continue to the Great City of Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Great Khmer Empire under the reign of Jayavarman VII. This city is surrounded by an 8 meters high wall; each side of the city is 3 kilometers long. It draws a perfect square with access to this town through 5 gates; 4 of them representing the cardinal points and the 5th one being the Victory Gate leading directly to the Royal Palace area.

You will arrive via the South Gate, an impressive stone gate carved with Elephants and 4 giant faces. On each side is a row of 54 gods or demons holding the sacred Naga snake.

After passing through the South Gate, you will go along a shaded road to the Bayon temple. This temple lies exactly in the center of the city. The particularity of this monument is the 54 towers representing the 54 provinces of the then Great Khmer Empire. Each tower has 4 faces. This is the only temple in Cambodia depicting scenes of the everyday life at the time of the empire.

From the Bayon continue by walking to the Baphoun recently re-opened to the public. There you will pass by the Phimeanakas, the location of the Royal Palace. The only remaining features are a pond and a temple. The palace was made of wood and did not survive the time and the wars.

Then continue to the Terrace of the Elephants. This terrace was the place where the parade was held for the king. Next is the Terrace of the Leper King depicting the water world.

Ta Prohm Ruins (known as Tomb Raider temple) & small circuit - continue to Ta Prohm, one of the most popular temples of the Angkor Complex. This temple was built in the memory of the King Jayavarman VII’s mother. When found by the French conservators at the end of the 19th century, they deliberately left this temple in the same condition as it was discovered, overgrown by strangler fig and silk-cotton trees, giving the temple a mystical and romantic appeal.

Your visit will also include Banteay Kdei, a Buddhist monastery from the late 12th century, Srah Srang, also known as the "pool of ablution", the identical twin temples of Tommanon and Chaosay Tevoda, and Krovan temple.

Lunch at local restaurant (at your own cost)

Return to Siem Reap after watching sunset over the top of Phnom Bakheng Hill. Dominating the flat landscape, this 10th Century mountain temple is the most popular spot in the area to watch a classic sunset over Angkor Wat and the surrounding forest or

Watching sunset at Pre Rup temple, a Hindu temple, built as the state temple of king Rajendravarman and dedicated in 961. It is a temple mountain of combined brick, laterite and sandstone construction. The temple’s name is a comparatively modern one meaning "turn the body". This reflects the common belief among Cambodians that funerals were conducted at the temple, with the ashes of the body being ritually rotated in different directions as the service progressed.

Enjoy your dinner and free time exploring Old Market, Pub Street, Night Market, Siem Reap nightlife activities and Siem Reap City formerly French colonial head quarter on your own.

Overnight at your hotel in Siem Reap.

1 Day trip Bangkok to Angkor and back

I couldn't be more impressed by Sophoan and his team throughout the entire day of out 1 day trip. Our drivers were always where they needed to be. We met our first driver in our lobby of our AirBnB a few minutes before 3AM, and had an easy, fast trip to the Thai/Cambodia border. He dropped us right off with a guy that walked us through the border and helped us every step of the way which was incredibly helpful because there is a lot going on in that area of PoiPet. The Cambodian immigration was a little picky about pictures that we brought, so they charged us to take new, better photos (about $3 usd extra..not the end of the world). Then he passed us to another driver and we were on our way through Cambodia to Siem Reap. There are some very cool sights to see on the way regarding the differences in cultures. We arrived in Siem Reap and met our guide, Kim. He was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable. Very patient with us and willing to see/do whatever we wanted while there. He spoke English plenty well enough to understand and was also a great photographer of my girlfriend and I. He knows all of the beautiful spots. We chose to see AngkorWat, Angkor Thom, and Ta Prohm in depth and also walked by a few others and Kim was the and helpful the entire time.

Then, when we were done we hopped in the car and went back to the border, met the same man that originally helped us cross to cross again, hopped in another van and drove all the way back to Bangkok.

There are a lot of moving parts, but all men contacted each other frequently and always put us first. This is the best way to see Angkor Wat and the surrounding area. Hands down.

Sophoan even made and appearance with us as he was giving another tour. He was incredibly polite and helpful just like Kim.

These guys are great. Worth the money. Worth the travel time from Bangkok.

Day trip from Bangkok

We’re not the type to book guided tours but we’re certainly happy we did for this trip and even more happy with the choice of guides. Everything was as promised and exactly what we wanted.

The day started early with a 3am pickup at our hotel. The driver was even 30 mins early in case we wanted to get going earlier. The van ride was long (~3 hours) but pretty comfortable, it was a larger passenger van with only two of us on board; so we were able to stretch out and nap until we got to the Cambodian border.

Once at the border we met another gentlemen who escorted us through the process of departing Thailand and crossing into Cambodia. You have to go through Thai customs and then through Cambodian immigration. On the Cambodian side we got a different driver who was with us until we returned to the Thai border that evening.

Once in Cambodia you need a tourist visa which is available on the spot. But the guide service takes care of that. The only uncomfortable situation is parting with your passport for 15-20 mins while you sit in the car with the driver and the guide takes the passport in for the visa. I never like doing that but it all worked out as planned.

From the border we drove to Siem Reap (about 2 more hours) where we picked up Sophoan Rath, the actual park guide who would walk us around Angkor Wat.

His English was very good and he was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about he entire park. The park is HUGE! But the driver drove us from temple to temple and Mr Rath walked us around each educating us on the temple, it’s history and the local environment.

Along the way they took us to a couple of great restaurants for breakfast before we started and lunch in the early afternoon.

It was a fascinating trip and a must do if you’re close to Cambodia Public Service Announcement It’s really hot there so dress in cool clothing, there wasn’t much of a breeze for us so it felt hotter than it was...prepare to sweat... a lot.

While you need to dress appropriate for entering the temples ( covered knees and shoulders) you can still dress cool, I “invested in some loose Thai (aka Aladdin Pants) and a very light linen shirt...$15 all in).

Stay hydrated, we only found Gatorade in a couple of spots and none in the park; but we did find this little life saver called Pocari Sweat which is an electrolyte drink in a Red Bull looking can (see pic). My wife was feeling ill but this perked her right up. And it was easy to find at the stands in the park and only $1.

US $ is the accepted currency there and everyone takes it, they actually prefer it.

I highly recommend this group, very friendly, professional and made the trip rewarding and easy. I’m sure we would have figured out the border crossing process but no need when they take care of everything. Plus, the park is huge and they know there way around. It’s also nice to have an air conditioned car waiting on you :-). Yes, I’m an American :-)

Bangkok to Siem Reap and back

This is a brilliant operation if you are limited on time, for your holiday. A driver shows up at your hotel at 3am, drives you to the border, you meet up with someone who expedites, getting you into Cambodia with all of the required paperwork, next he will lead you to the Cambodia driver. He will drive you the rest of the way to your destination, where he will pick up the tour guide. Sophoan was our tour guide, bilingual, well read and very professional. He answered all of our questions, and brought us to all the best sites for pictures. Before doing all of that, we had lunch at a restaurant at Angkor Wat with a view of it. In total, we're taking to Angkor Wat, and two other temples. We also got to feed monkeys which is pretty amazing in of itself. You'll have plenty of opportunity to get drinks/coffee and use the toilet. If you're American, they accept US dollar currency in Cambodia. Once the tour was completed and we said goodbye to Sophoan, our Cambodian driver drove us back to the border. (On a side note, if you're not used to Cambodian driving it's definitely very exhilarating) you'll arrive at the border and greeted by the same fixer that got you through the first time. He will lead you back into Thailand where you first started. He will get your Thai driver and have them bring you back to Bangkok. You should arrive back to your hotel at around 10 p.m. It's a long day but considering that you get to visit a whole different country it's well worth it. We highly recommend that you take this tour of Cambodia if you are staying in Bangkok even if you aren't limited on time. It's well worth the price and I would pay it again, considering how much they do for you and how much you get to see. Thanks again guys! Joe and Karen

Dream day trip to Angkor Wat!

Mr. Sophoan was excellent! 5 of us were traveling from Bangkok to visit Angkor Wat for a 1 day trip. He coordinates the driver from Bangkok to the Thailand/Cambodia crossing; the gentleman who escorted us through the border; the driver from the Cambodia border to Siem Reap and then to pick up Mr Sophoan who spent the day with us. It was a daunting trip but he made it seamless and easy for us. We came with an agenda of which sites we wanted to see and he was flexible and accommodating - telling us the history and specifics along the way. The entire day was perfect!

Long but great day trip!

We booked a day trip from Bangkok to Cambodia with Cambodia Travel Trails. They had great communication during the booking process. The driver showed up at our hotel at 3am like we were told. The van ride to the Cambodia border was long but comfortable. There was just the two of us in the van so we were able to sleep each on own bench.

We arrived at the border where we met with the gentleman walking is over and getting out Visa for the day. He had a car waiting for us as we crossed while he waited in line for our visa to be processed. 15 minutes later we were on our way to Angkor Wat.

Our tour guide for the day was Sophoan. He did a fabulous job of teaching us the history of the area. He was a wonderful guide.

This was a wonderful opportunity and I am so glad we spent the day touring Angkor wat. This service made everything so simple!
