A long awaited visit as its high status both religiously and as a wonder of the world. I would have expect d the same level of vibe as say the Taj Mahal. Entry was $37 buying tickets online. We had problems with the site as it would keep crashing and payments were bouncing back. Kept trying for about 6-7 times before getting through. The structure itself is not as big as I anticipated, but the grounds are set over a vast space. Several gates need to be passed before arriving at the central monetary. The is considerable restoration works needed and I was surprised due to the high level of prestige it hold both religiously and internationally it was in such a poor state. There is a lot of mi ey in the country as apparent from the plethora of range rovers on the streets. I was surprised to see the number of high value cars, especially having passed through Laos and Vietnam. With everything said, the architecture is clearly amazing you know the pyramid like mysteries as to how they were able to achieve such a fate so many years ago. Some of the stones are colossal and would have taken effort to move around. The handcrafted detail Is also impressive as the time it took for such detailed work would have been colloidal. I feel in years to come when restoration work have taken place and all the failed debris removed this will only get better. I was underwhelmed due to the high expectations I had, because I heard the high status the monastery holds. It was only for the bucket list and I am glad I was able to see it in other than media imagery.

It is rare that world heritage sites live up to their billing but Angkor Wat is a success story in that regard in my book. At this point, it is probably unnecessary to detail the architectural and archeological importance of the site. But, may I suggest, there is something to be said for being an explorer, rather than going with a guide. Just open your eyes and wander in wonder through the maze-like ruins and porticos. Try to put yourself into the mind of an Angkorian. Put aside the detailed explanations and observations and just try to flow with the vibe of the place. I think that it is somehow more in tune with the spirit of the place to walk around in silent mystery. You can get the explanations and historical commentary from any number of excellent YouTube videos, before or even more powerfully, after your visit. Enter the temple with an open, detached mindset. Just my opinion, of course. Pro Tip Whatever your mindset, be aware that it rains frequently and heavily, from April to October so come with appropriate precautions (raincoats, umbrellas, etc.) or be prepared to be drenched as we were.

Friday 10th October 2025: Angkor Wat is a huge site, a "must see", you could spend a lot of time here at different times of the day and get some amazing photographs. I think it would be best at sunrise or sunset. There is so much to see and so much history there, just take your time and check everywhere out. I imagine it gets hectic in the tourist season. There were plenty of people there when we went and we were at the very beginning of the season.
