On this tour of Angkor Thom and Bayon Temple,
admire grand structures built between the 9th and 12th centuries by a Khmer
empire that controlled Cambodia and parts of Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Take
in the detailed carvings of faces and elephants as well as the ruins of the
Baphuon.
After meeting your personal guide and driver in
Siem Reap, spend the early morning visiting the ancient capital of Angkor Thom,
a walled temple complex dating back to the 12th century. See the South Gate, a
main entrance with huge statues depicting the ocean and visit Bayon Temple,
unique for its 54 towers decorated with more than 200 large, smiling faces of
Avalokitesvara.
In the Angkor Thom complex, admire the Baphuon,
ruins of a massive 3-tiered temple recently opened after years of restoration,
as well as Phimeanakas, the Terrace of the Elephants, and the famous Terrace of
the Leper King. Next, continue to visit Ta Prohm, which has been left
relatively untouched since it was discovered, retaining much of its mystery.
Then, enjoy a delicious
lunch at one of the best local restaurants before touring the remarkable Angkor
Wat. Marvel at the distinctive details of classical Khmer architecture and
don't miss the opportunity to snap gorgeous pictures as you watch the sun set
before returning to your hotel.
