- Phnom Bakheng - Bakheng Mountain is near Angkor Wat Temple. It is located about 1.5 kilometers northwest of Angkor Wat. It is a Hindu temple mountain dedicated to Shiva, and was built in the 9th century by King Yasovarman I. It is the oldest temple in the Angkor Archaeological Park, and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Cambodia. The temple is built on a 79-meter-tall hill, and has five sandstone sanctuaries on the top level. The sanctuaries are arranged in a quincunx pattern, with one in the center and one at each corner of the level’s square. The temple is also surrounded by 108 small towers, which have mostly collapsed.
Phnom Bakheng is a popular spot for sunset viewing, as it offers panoramic views of the Angkor Archaeological Park. It is also a popular place to watch the sunrise, but the views are not as good as at Angkor Wat.
If you are visiting the Angkor Archaeological Park, I recommend visiting Phnom Bakheng in the late afternoon to catch the sunset.

Heart Warming Tour - Thom is an amazing, inspiring guide, proud of his country, and actively working to support it. We had a great day around the temples, Thom took some beautiful photos of us without even knowing, explained things perfectly, and was flexible. We were so tired at the end because he left no stone unturned. We opted for the afternoon/sunset tour and found whilst it was incredibly hot, made for the best pictures due to lack of people in temples, he showed is the best bits and got to understand what we wanted to know and adapted the same. I loved the mission behind this tour, donating 50% of profit back into the community! Thank you, Thom. My heart is full.

Go for it with Thom - travel to inspire - The company driver waited us at airport arrivals with a nice private minibus to take us into the city. Later we met Thom that was a phenomenal tour guide. He reveal us the captivating Angkor Wat temples, Waterfalls, and Banteay Srei also known as “lady temple” or the “pink temple” in a 2 days tailored trip, always with comprehensive and well-informed explanations about the sights we about to see. He exhibited remarkable care, a great sense of humour, and attentiveness toward our group. His knowledge and informative nature were complemented by an entertaining and down-to-earth demeanor, and we is the best photographer ever. The food we recommend, it was amazing. Finally, we book with him the transfers to our onwards travels and everything ran super smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better, more personable tour guide. Thank you, Thom! Planning to go Cambodia, give him and his team a try, if you are looking for excellency and good service!

Amazing Tour to Must See Temples - The tour is amazing! I took it on my first day in Siem Reap and it took me to some of the most stunning temples. Ta Prohm (“the Tomb Raider temple”) was the start of an exceptional afternoon. Guide Thom and Lee are a great team and Thom knows not only everything about the history of the temples but also the best spots for photo taking!
