A description, history and information about the Khmer Temples and the Empire. How to get there and suggestions on making the most of the visit.
Visiting the Angkor area of Cambodia will be one of the most memorable travel experiences of your life. The Angkor Wat itself and the surrounds are truly incredible. The reality is that Angkor Wat is not the only temple or area worth visiting. The other temples in the Angkor Park are equally inspiring and worthy of a visit. There are also the temples outside the park and even further afield. Siem
Reap is the local town associated with Angkor Wat. The town is a tourist focal point but this shouldn't deter anyone from stepping outside the central market and tourist areas and having a look at what most tourists don't experience during their stay. The rural area in the the Siem Reap Province is also interesting and worth visiting. The major factor in enhancing your visit is that if you have some understanding of what you are looking at the value of your trip skyrockets. History, religion, culture and interpretation of carvings, architecture and perspective are vital to get the most out of your holiday. I will put up information regularly, you can go to the website or just ask. I will also offer suggestions on how budget flights, stopovers and transfers can be achieved easily and painlessly. Travel around Siem Reap and the Angkor Park can also be achieved on a budget if you are willing to negotiate, maintain a sense of humour and be respectful of local people and their view on life. It's really easy and not much of a challenge to explore the Park, the province and the town as well as get there on a very reasonable budget. Please comment or message and I will attempt to answer your questions. If I don't know I will find out from contacts and friends. Visit a beautiful and amazing country and have a great time.
