Angkor Wat : You would be bewildered to witness so how many
tourists show up at 5.30 am, All you need to know is to beat the crowd and
secured a best possible place for viewing. This is one of the top places to see in Cambodia. Angkor Wat is built over the course of
thirty years in 1100’s as a home for then king Suryavarman the second after his
demise; it was rediscovered by French colony in mid 1800’s. They discovered it
in the midst of dense forest, now considered as one of the wonders of the
world. You can see 1800 cravings of dancing maidens. Alert, beware of monkeys nuisance

and although it’s not as well resorted as Ankor
wat, it does have multiple fascinating elements. Angkor Thom’s signifying
feature is the entrance bridge by 54 stone warriors who are playing some sort
of tug of war with scared snake. Heads of most warriors are missing taken by
looters after the Vietnam War. Angkor
Thom is one of the facilitating places
to see in Cambodia while you are there you cannot afford to miss it.
Ta Prohm, Siem Reap :You might have Déjà vu after seeing this
temple ( if you have seen Tomb Raider) this Temple is left as it found which
evokes more interest in this particular location as the crumbling stone walls
are intertwined with tree roots. It’s a great example for tourists to see in
which state other temples were discovered.

offer mangos and bananas.
