Angkor Thom - After picked-up by your English speaking guide and Remork driver, we drive to the main entrance to obtain the full day Angkor pass and move to the monumental magnificence of Angkor Thom. You will visit the sprawling Elephant Terrace, the Terrace of the Leper King and the enchanting Bayon. This 12th-century masterpiece lies at the very centre of Angkor Thom and is an archaeological wonder of symmetry and grandeur. The exterior gallery walls have extensive bas-reliefs but the main features are the towers each with 3 or 4 gently smiling faces, over 200 in total. During this morning visit, we enter the Baphuon, one of the few royal sites of this Kingdom and an appropriate dress code is required to enter.

Ta Prohm - After the clock strikes 12, Ta Prohm is on our itinerary, a temple that has been left largely in its natural state since its “re-discovery” by French explorers.
Surrounded by jungle, its labyrinth of stone hallways is overgrown with the roots and limbs of massive banyan trees, which envelop the stone like tentacles. It is one of the largest temples at Angkor, dedicated in 1186 and this makes the ‘Tomb Raider Temple’ one of the most picturesque and memorable of the Angkor temples.
- Angkor Wat - We end the day with Angkor Wat, arguably the largest religious building in the world, with a volume of stone equalling that of the Cheops pyramid in Egypt. It is unlike all the other Khmer temples in that it faces west, and is inspired by Hinduism. Its symmetrical towers are stylized on the modern Cambodian flag.
Your dedicated driver will bring you back in the afternoon to your hotel where you will be thankful for his services and those of your guide, in showing you around one of Asia’s most adored sites around
