This is such a useful post. I’m currently living in Saigon and want to do my next trip to Angkor Wat, and your tips are so helpful! I think I try 2 days and it will be my first solo travelling experience – so excited :D. I’m curious about the hotel!
Ate,
How much did it cost for the whole trip? I want Cambodia to my first solo travel outside the country! OMG I AM SO EXCITTEED, NERVOUS, SCARED, AND HAPPY! HAHAHAHAHA
Wow, that’s a very long day visiting all those temples. Angkor Wat is truly impressive and worth a visit and more time….although it can be easy to also get ‘templed’ out 🙂
@ Roman: I think it was $20 the last time I was there. Do negotiate!
Bookmarked this, Aleah! Would love to try the ride on the back of an elephant!
@ Matt: It depends on what you want to do, but 4-5 days will be good. You can get the 3-day pass so that you won’t have to see everything in one day. Then spend some time in the town itself or nearby areas.
Highly informative! Great article!! If you were granted more time, how many days you should think one would stay there? I think reading your article have just convinced me to visit this place! we’ll see about that! Thanks for sharing this one, Aleah!
@ Christian: You really should go there. With your photography skills, you’d really really (over much LOL) love it there!
This would probably be the first country I’d ever visit pag lumabas ako ng Pilipinas. Nakikita ko lang to dati sa pages ng History of Architecture 🙂
@ Paris Franz: Good thing you had a week there, though it kinda sucks if it kept on raining. You couldn’t go around much, could you, with all the mud?
@ Sophie: I’m a night person myself, but there are just some things that are definitely worth waking up early for, and it includes sunrise in Angkor Wat!
I managed to get my kids up at 4 am for Stonehenge, they really enjoyed it, so i have faith Angkor Wat would be just as great. Definitely on our list! Thanks for the comprehensive post; very useful.
I spent a week at Angkor Wat a couple of years ago. It was during the rainy season, so it was a very wet but magical experience.
@ InsideJourneys: Yup, you should go, Marcia 🙂
@ Lisa: Thanks!
@ Sabrina: Thank you!
@ Jessica: It was 🙂
That sounds like a fantastic day!
Beautiful pics and great tips! It’s on my travel wishlist 🙂
I’ve always thought this would be a place I would like to visit. Thanks, this is very informative.
On my bucket list. Can’t wait to go!
Great post, great tips too!
@ Nancie: I’ve only been there once. I really have to go back!
@ Denise: Saigon is also very nice. I hope you can go to Angkor Wat next time. It’s a definite must-see once in your life 🙂
I haven’t been to this place yet. I was very close (Saigon, Vietnam), but I decided to spend my time in Vietnam for that particular trip. Eventually, I’ll make it to Cambodia I hope.
I’ve been to Angkor Wat twice and would go back again in a moment. It’s definitely a special place. Your photos captured it perfectly, and great tips for visiting.
@ Riz: No problem, glad to help 🙂
@ Lisa Goodmurphy: Too bad, the sunrise in Angkor Wat is wonderful!
The sunrise is stunning but I’m pretty sure that nobody in my family would get up for 4am – we’d be much more likely to get there for sunset! 🙂 Those cardamon trees are incredible – they look like they can’t possibly be real!
# 1 on my bucket lists this yr. 🙂 Thanks for the tips! 🙂
@ Apol: I gave a weeklong seminar on para-professional counseling 🙂 Thanks for sharing this, and good luck in your trip there next year!
yey like this post!
What training did you give?
