Julie M - Bangkok to Angkor Wat and Back Day Trip Option 3 BA1-Option 3
Excellently organised trip from Bangkok to wonderful Siem Reap/Angkor Wat
We were looking for a day trip to Angkor Wat from Bangkok and discovered this highly rated travel agency on Tripadvisor. The reviews were from this current month going back ten years. I can endorse the glowing views of other travellers. The trip was well organised and we were escorted all the way. Whilst you could do self this was much easier as it removed all the hassle of planning with no additional research required.
Great communication from Sophoan Rath from my initial enquiry he answered my questions fully and quickly, gave detailed info on what was included and any additional expenses and border crossing costs and kept us informed of drivers. Flexible and accommodating: we left Bangkok at lunchtime, overnight in Siem Reap, sunrise Angkor Wat and arrived back Bangkok around 8pm next day.
Homewood Hotel in Siem reap is new, very clean, good a/c and if anything better than the photos. Also very close to river, Pub Street and markets. Siem Reap a mix of traditional, with local street food along the pretty riverside, and some sophisticated restaurants with laid back international almost hipster/club vibe.
Our guide at Angkor was the lovely Kim Saphatt who introduced himself on our arrival at the hotel and picked us up at 5am to see sunrise at Angkor Wat. Kim is professional, knowledgeable (including best spots for photos and expert on pano shots), courteous and with a great sense of fun. I loved that he is still in awe of Angkor Wat and was taking photos for himself.
Angkor Wat is spectacular and well worth the visiting. We were driven around and picked up in air con car by Chhon (Kim called ahead so we did not have to wait in the heat and cold water provided) but there is a lot of walking within compounds. Angkor Thom City is the largest and includes Bayon, Baphuon, Phimeanakas, Gate of the Dead, Terrace of Elephants but most of walking between temples and palace was in woods with shade and we had these places almost to ourselves. Ta Prohm (also know as Tomb Raider location) was busiest but can see why with the photogenic mix of temple and trees and roots descending over the ruins. Walked 17000 steps in six hours. In addition to the archaeological sites there was also lots of wildlife – including butterflies, monkeys and water buffalo.
After six hours in Angkor Wat (picnic breakfast at local café provided by the hotel) went to Khmer Derm restaurant for lunch. Very well priced, good food and best Chicken Satay I have ever had. There was more on the itinerary for the afternoon but I was tired by then and so we headed for border earlier as trip was flexible.
It is a long drive between Bangkok and Siem Reap and would be quicker by air bit I liked the ease of being driven door to door, seeing the country and supporting local people and business. The drivers were good, rest stop amenities clean and ride comfortable but little bit bumpy.
In Siem Reap I can highly recommend Amok by Chef Kimsan on corner of Pub Street for great authentic Cambodian dishes and charming ambience and staff. And The Muffin Man for cakes.

Karlsson12 - Bangkok to Angkor Wat and Back Day Trip Option 3 BA1-Option 3
Best trip an guide ever
I wanna give a big big thank you to our tour guide Kim. It was an amazing adventure and we learned so much. Our driver always picked us up on time, and he was always trying to ensure that we didn't have to wait. He was always concentrated on the road. We were three teens on the tour, and our tour guide Kim was really really patient with us. Even when we sometimes didn't pay as much as attention, he was never annoyed of telling us a couple times. He explained so much about History and for us tennis it was easy to understand.
But the things he told never bored us. We could always ask him the stupidest questions and he always answered with a laugh. We really loved how he always motivated us to se the temples. He always told us that we are climbing the stairs to heaven and he always told a funny joke. At every person we walked by he was open to speak to them. He was really concerned that we are fine all the time and that we have a great stay. We definitely had that. It was such an amazing adventure with him. We had a great time and always something to laugh. Thanks to Kim and Path

Best trip ever
Es war ein sehr schöner Trip. Der Grenzübergang war sehr gut organisiert und wir wurden über die Grenze die ganze Zeit begleitet. Der Fahrer Phat hat uns immer abgeholt und wir mussten nie warten. Der Organisator Sohphan war 24/7 für unsere Fragen erreichbar. Unser Guide Kim war sehr sehr freundlich und lustig. Er hat uns gut begleitet und hat immer eine sehr gute Mischung zwischen begleiten und manchmal auch alleine lassen gefunden. Kim hat uns viel von der Kultur und Geschichte erzählt, so das wir viel lernen konnten. Er hat sich sehr toll auf unsere Bedürfnisse eingestellt, auch gezielt auf uns Teenager. Wir mochten seine Persönlichkeit und sein Lachen.

It was a very nice Trip. The border crossing was very well organised and we were accompanied across the border all the time. The driver Phat always picked us up and we never had to wait. There was enough water to drink in the mini van. The organiser Sohphan was available 24/7 for our questions. Our guide Kim was very very friendly and funny. He accompanied us well and always found a very good mixture between accompanying and sometimes leaving us alone. Kim told us a lot about the culture and history, so we could learn a lot. He has adapted very well to our needs, also specifically for us teenagers. We liked his personality and his laughter.

Huw G - Bangkok to Angkor Wat and Back Day Trip - BA1-Option 1
Angkor Wat day trip. A WONDERFUL day.
I did a one-day tour from Bangkok to Angkor Wat. It is a very long day, but if you don’t have much time (like me) it is an excellent way to see one of Asia’s most incredible historical sites. This travel company is EXCELLENT. Mr Sophoan’s communications and organisation are incredible. They make travelling through a hectic land border very easy. The drivers on both sides are great. And I was lucky enough to have Mr Kim as the guide in Angkor Wat/Siem Reap. He was SUPERB. Very knowledgable, friendly and funny. I had a fantastic day. Thankyou all.

John Evans - Bangkok to Angkor Wat and Back Tour 2d1n BA2
Angkor Wat
This was a magical trip. The organisation's was easy, the transport was comfortable, the drivers where great. I think our guide Kim was the best in Siem Reap, all the temples we visited where spectacular. Overall I cannot recommend this enough.

What a trip!
A phenomenal trip from start to finish. We were very well looked after by the drivers, border crossing helpers and the tour guide, making it such an easy and stress free experience. A special thank you to Lysang, who was extremely knowledgeable about Angkor watt and the surrounding temples. He went above and beyond to really looked after us! A truly amazing trip that we will never forget!
