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 in Siem Reap, you will be met and welcomed by our English speaking guide and then check in to your hotel.

After check in to hotel, transfer for lunch at local restaurant or at hotel restaurant (lunch is at your own cost)

Angkor Wat - after lunch, transfer to visit the magnificent temple Angkor Wat, 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.

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.

Overnight at your hotel in Siem Reap.

DAY II - ANGKOR THOM, BAYON, TAPROHM, SMALL CIRCUIT AND BANTEAY SREI EXCURSION
Angkor Wat Sunrise - at 5am, pick up for viewing the picturesque sunrise at Angkor Wat. Breakfast boxes could be taken from your hotel or return to hotel for breakfast and start the tour again.

Angkor Thom City complex - after breakfast, 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 (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 and 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)

Banteay Srei excursion - continue for an excursion to visit Banteay Srei, made of pink sandstone and is one of the smallest temple you can visit but one of the most beautiful as well. Built in 967 AD by a guru to Jayavarman V, it showcases the most exquisite, deep and complex carvings in all Khmer architectures. As well the carvings and bas-relief are in a perfect condition although being here for more than millenary.

Overnight at your hotel in Siem Reap.

DAY III - CHONG KNEAH FLOATING VILLAGE, RETURN AND DROP OFF BACK IN THAILAND
Chong Kneah floating village - after breakfast at your hotel, transfer to the Phnom Krom pier for boat on Tonle Sap Lake to visit floating village of Chong Kneah at the edge of Tonle Sap Lake. Cambodia’s Great Lake, the Boueng Tonle Sap (Tonle Sap Lake) is the most prominent feature on the map of Cambodia – a huge dumbbell-shaped body of water stretching across the northwest section of the country. In the wet season, the Tonle Sap Lake is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Asia, swelling to an expansive 12,000km2. During the dry, half of the year the lake shrinks to as 3000 km2, draining into the Tonle Sap River, which meanders southeast eventually merging with the Mekong River at the “Chaktomuk” confluence of river opposite Phnom Penh.

Then it's time for shopping at the Artisans d'Angkor, where you can observe young Cambodians being trained in the making of traditional crafts.

Lunch at local restaurant (at your own costs)

Returning time - at 4pm, part ways with the tour guide and continue back to Poipet border on a private luxury A/C vehicle. Upon arrival at border, you will be met and welcomed by our border English speaking guide, and our border guide will take you to Cambodian immigration office to stamp your passports to leave Cambodia, and then take you across border to Thai immigration office to fill your Thai arrival cards, stamp your passports, and then take you straight to our office near border in Thailand, where our A/C, WIFI minivan is ready to chauffeur you back to your drop off location in Thailand.

Best Option

Our tour of Angkor Wat was amazing! Sophoan Rath was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We loved every moment and the historical context provided by Sophoan made it all the more awe inspiring. We were picked up from our hotel in Bangkok and after returned to airport back in Thailand. The transfers and boarder crossing were a breeze too with the help of Sok and our Thai and Cambodian drivers, without their help this would have been much more difficult. We were looked after every step of the way. The vehicles were comfortable and air conditioned and they provided all the bottled water we could need. As well as tours within the temples, Sophoan also took care of getting our temple passes and the transport between the temples. We were able to tailor our itinerary to suit us and include extra days and the driver was happy to pull over if we saw something we wanted to see closer. We also visited the beautiful floating village on Tonlé Sap. Sophoan showed us the best local restaurants in town and the best spots for photos in all the temples. He was so helpful and took excellent photos of us at the temples which looks better than a selfie stick. We have made a friend for life with Sophoan and we highly recommend this tour to one of the worlds greatest heritage sites.

Bangkok to Siem Reap and Back

We did a tour from Bangkok to Angkor Wat over 2 days in Oct.17. Hotel pick ups / drop offs went smoothly thanks to the drivers and guides. Our guide in Cambodia was Sophoan Rath - all communications via Email with Sophoan prior to the tour were always clear and prompt especially as we made changes to our original itinerary. We found Sophoan to be an excellent guide who was obliging, informative and very knowledgeable. He made our time in Cambodia unforgettable. Our driver in Cambodia was also excellent. We highly recommend Angkor Wat services and especially our guide Sophoan Rath.

Wonderful experience!

My friend and I recently had the pleasure of a 2 night/3 day tour of Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, and the floating villages in Tonle Sap with Sophoan Rath. We loved every moment of the tour, and were very impressed with Sophoan's knowledge. He is a true gem! He was also extremely friendly, helpful, accommodating, and punctual. We could not have imagined a better guide. He arranged our travel from Bangkok, transfer across the border, and transportation to Siem Reap, where he met us and made sure we were settled and comfortable. The tour was amazing -- he knew exactly where to take us, and was truly an expert on Cambodian/Khmer history. Overall excellent service, we highly recommend!

3d/2n Angkor Wat and Siem Reap Tour

My husband and I spent 3 days with Mr. Sophoan Rath visiting Angkor Wat and all of the other sites in the Siem Reap area. It was an unforgettable experience and one which I highly recommend to anyone who wants a guide with extensive knowledge of the history of the great city of Angkor Thom. Sophoan helped us to efficiently negotiate the boarder crossing and gave us a very personal tour of his homeland. Mr. Rath is a joy to be around. His humor, insight into the life of people living in Cambodia, and kindness went above and beyond anything I would have expected a tour. This tour is great!
