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.

Ms. Admiral Snarkington - Bangkok to Angkor Wat and Back

From: United States
Posted Date: 02/Sep/2016

This must have been a mistake. What an adventure! My wife booked this tour well in advance of our arrival. We are not big on organized tours, so the prospect of a personalized tour appealed to us. Based on the price I was a bit skeptical and did not know what to expect. From the initial booking throughout the entire process, Sophoan Rath was in constant contact with us. Providing amazingly detailed instructions/guidance on what needed doing and what we could expect. Even though communication was excellent, this being our first trip from the west I was still really really skeptical about this panning out.

I was an idiot and have never wasted so much time worrying for nothing. The day before our tour Sophoan Rath sent us an email listing each driver and contact for the entire day and for each leg of the journey. First up was Mr. Sai Chhon who was the unfortunate soul picking us up at 3am in Bangkok and getting us to the border by 6:30am. He was professional and courteous and it was a smooth ride from what I can remember. I dozed off so it couldn't be that bumpy of a ride.

When we got to the Cambodian border we were met by Mr. Sok, who helped us through customs on both sides and got us to the driver on the Cambodian side. He was AMAZING! On top of being a really nice guy, he was so efficient and made sure we knew exactly what we needed to do and where to go on both sides of the border. We were literally in and out of there in 30 minutes or less. I can not imagine having to navigate that in a short time frame without help.

Mr. Piseth drove us to Siem Reap from the border. He too was very kind and professional and he got us there safe and sound. The drivers may not speak much English, but I don't speak Thai or Cambodian and we still managed just fine.

Once we were safely to Siem Reap, we were met by our driver Tunna and our guide Khouch. They were very friendly and accommodating. Khouch wasted no time dropping knowledge on us of the area. They had cold bottled water for us and nothing but smiles. We headed off through town and to the ticket area for Angkor Wat. Got our tickets and Khouch gave us badge holders so we could look really cool. The whole way to the park this man dropped knowledge on us about everything going past us. It was amazing. We got to the park and had a nice breakfast. He gave us some advice on prices and buying things from all the vendors which was very useful.

Then came the utter ridiculousness that was the rest of our day. I still am in awe about how Khouch can possibly store soooo much knowledge in his head and I can't remember my own cell phone number. He took us all over the park, and I won't blither on about all the details. Sufficed to say, you could not have asked for a more awesome and engaging guide. He was patient as we stood around slack jawed taking pictures and even suggested good spots for perspective. We even caught him taking pics of his own, which just shows how passionate and engaged he is with what he does, especially with over 18 years of experience. He is an amazing man that is a wealth of knowledge, and we had the time of our lives. Sadly, life is impermanent, and we had to part ways after a fantastic day with him. And don't think we forgot Tunna, picking us up and giving us cold water and refreshing towels as we hopped about the park. Awesome cannot even describe it.

They got us back to the pick up point and we were again whisked off to the border and met by none other than Mr. Sok. He was just as friendly and helpful as he was at 6am. He must drink a lot of coffee or just love what he does, because he is great at it. Got us back across again quickly & efficiently, making sure we had all the documents we needed. I was kind of sad to part ways because he seemed like the kind of guy that would be fun to go out for beers with and shoot the breeze.

He got us sorted and on our way back to Bangkok and we were safely back at our hotel by 10pm. The whole day was an absolute delight. I cannot believe how affordable it was based on the insane effort and coordination involved to pull it off. We are so grateful to Cambodia Travel Trails and all their staff for giving us a truly unforgettable experience. If you are in Bangkok and want an adventure, you really need to look them up. They are worth every penny, and will earn your business every step of the way and then some. My only regret is that I cannot repay their kindness and the amazing memories they gave us of Angkor Wat. Give them a go, you won't regret it! Thanks a million Sophoan Rath and crew, you are aces in our book!

Don't Miss This Experience - You'll be in good hands with Sophoan Rath and his team!! Okay world traveler and adventurers, if you are short on time or want to make the most of your limited vacation time, this is the thing to do in order to see Anghor Wat. the World Heritage Site. I won't say much about the site itself, only that it is worth the effort to get there. We did it all in just less than 24 hours!!

First, I loved communicating with Sophoan Rath via email. One has to be careful because they are plenty of shady, even dangerous people out there. And you have to send him money to reserve the trip. But rest assured, he and his company are legitimate, honest and service oriented. What he and his company seemed to be on the emails is exactly what they were in person.

We were picked up at 2:30 AM at our Bangkok hotel, driven to PoiPet for the border crossing into Cambodia. We slept in the very comfortable van. There were just 3 of us, but you can have a group of 8 in the van.

DON'T JUST HAVE YOUR PASSPORTS, BE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR LANDING PAPERS FROM THAILAND, or WHEREVER YOU LANDED. We did not know we would need those white sheets. However, Sophoan's team members are really amazing, and got us through the border okay.

After crossing the border, we drove another couple hours to Siem Reap, enjoying how different it all was from Thailand. We were met by our tour guide, and he took us again in a very comfortable car to all the sites we could manage in one day. DO NOT MISS THIS BUCKET LIST TRIP. Our guide spoke English well enough to communicate, answer questions, and was accommodating. If you are an American, remember to be a gracious guest and respectful of the difference in culture and expression. These people are wonderfully warm and unspoiled.

I don't give 5 stars very often, but really this was worth that rating. Sophoan Rath and his team are first rate. It is all so very well organized between those in Thailand and those in Cambodia, each doing their job superbly. We just loved and appreciated them so much.

Very good guide!

Sophoan Rath organized our one day trip from Bangkok to Angkor Wat. It was excellent in every way. Sophoan is a pleasant person who adjusted to our style and speed of touring the ruins. He is very knowledgeable, he provided us with all the information we needed. I enthusiastically recommend Sophoan as your guide. You will not be disappointed.

Day Trip to Angkor Wat from Bangkok

While planning our recent trip to Southeast Asia, we thought that it was going to be extremely difficult to do a day trip to Siem Reap Cambodia from Bangkok to visit Angkor Wat UNESCO World Heritage Site. However, we found about Sophoan and decided to booked a tour with him. The process was very easy and convenient. We paid a deposit of $100 USD via MoneyGram. Communication with Sophoan was great before, during and after the tour. A driver (in an air conditioned luxury van) picked up us at our hotel in Bangkok to take us to the Thailand border with Cambodia at 3am (as scheduled). Around 6am we arrived at the border, while the process can be seen as extremely terrifying, Sophoan helped us with all the crossing procedures making it a smooth one. Once in Poipet Cambodia Sophoan and a driver drove us for about 2 hours in a luxury SUV to Siem Reap. During the ride he was very communicative and introduced us to what we where going to be visiting putting everything in context. The schedule ran exactly as Sophoan planned. Once in Angkor we had breakfast before the guided tour started, then visited the breathtaking temples we had on schedule, had lunch, and at 4pm we started our journey back to the border. Sophoan, as a certified Tour Guide, is very informative and precise with every historic detail he gave us. He took us to many temples in the Angkor Complex and took great pictures of us. He knows the right spots for the best photos. The driver always had cold bottled water for us in the car. Before heading back to the border, Sophoan took us to a restaurant for lunch (very nice cambodian and vietnamese food). Sophoan is a very professional, kind and attentive person. He walked us through the border back to Thailand and we arrived at our hotel in Bangkok at 10pm (as scheduled). All in all, It was a very safe experience (no security concerns). There aren't enough adjectives that can fairly describe how wonderful this experience was. The experience was worth every cent and more. Great value for the money we paid. Can't recommend enough. Thank you Sophoan for the amazing memories!

Fantastic Tour! Highly recommended day trip to Angor Wat!

I would highly recommend this tour without hesitation. My wife and I had limited time in Thailand and were daunted with the idea of trying to squeeze in a trip to Cambodia but really wanted to see Angkor Wat. I found a day trip tour on trip advisor and I can tell you all of the fantastic reviews were correct. Sophoan had a guide pick us up at our hotel and take us to the border where we got our visas and made our way into Cambodia without any problems (we were able to skip what was a massive line!) My wife and I are really into history and Sophoan told us not only about the history of Angor Wat and Cambodia but his own personal experience growing up there which was really special. He was incredibly knowledgable and very nice. The tour is private so if you need to stop and get a drink or use the restroom he will find a safe and clean place. This flexibility made for a very enjoyable tour.

Sophoan also knew how to really see all the sights. We saw everything important and he gave us the history of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom and all the highlights. We had a good amount of time and were not rushed (my wife and I went to the top, were able to take lots of pictures, buy souvenirs, and have a nice lunch without feeling hurried). It was great because Sophoan went with us and was our own private photographer as well. I was amazed how we were able to see so much. Sophoan even modified the tour for use so we were able to go to the floating village.

In short, this tour is worth every penny. It's a safe and fun way to see all the highlights of Siem Reap. You can just sit back, relax, and enjoy.
