Your journey begins with a visit to the iconic Angkor Wat Temple, the largest religious monument in the world and a symbol of Cambodia’s rich heritage. From there, you will explore the walled city of Angkor Thom, built in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. As you walk through the ancient city, you will come across the famous Bayon Temple, renowned for its 216 stone faces of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, which seem to gaze out over the entire complex. Continuing through Angkor Thom, you will reach the Terrace of the Elephants, a long platform used for royal ceremonies, beautifully decorated with bas-reliefs of elephants and other motifs that reflect the grandeur of the Khmer Empire.
The day concludes with a visit to the extraordinary Ta Prohm Temple, often referred to as the "Tomb Raider Temple" due to its appearance in the film. Unlike many other temples in the Angkor complex, Ta Prohm has been left largely in its natural state, with the jungle overtaking the structure. Massive tree roots have woven their way through the stone ruins, creating a breathtaking and mystical scene that showcases the power of nature reclaiming man-made structures. This unique blend of history and nature makes Ta Prohm one of the most captivating sites in the Angkor archaeological park.

A very different way to live. The size of Tonle Sap lake changes dramatically during the year. During the wet the Siem Reap River flows from the Mekong to the lake. During the dry it flows the other way. Each year after the water receeds they have to redo the road though the village.
Kampong Khleang is one of the most fascinating floating villages near Siem Reap. Unlike some of the more touristy spots, this village feels authentic and lived-in, with families going about their daily routines on the water. Visiting during the dry season lets you see the tall stilted houses rising above the ground, while in the rainy season everything floats. The people are welcoming, and the boat ride through the village and out into Tonle Sap Lake is unforgettable. Highly recommended if you want a genuine glimpse of Cambodian life on the water.
I don’t think it was worth the money. The tickets cost $20 per person for a one-hour ride, but our boat driver didn’t speak at all. We were the only passengers, which was fine, but unfortunately, the driver didn’t speak English. Even when we tried using a translation app, he couldn’t understand. We wanted to learn more about the floating village, but we didn’t get any information. Such a shame—we were really looking forward to it!
We went to this floating village with a rental scooter from Siem Reap. I totally recommend this as you can see a bit more and stop where you want. Price is fix per boat, we paid 20-30 USD if i remember right. We ended up sharing it with strangers and it was just a nice addition to the adventure. They accept only cash but there is an ATM on site. The round trip is around 1-2 hours depending where you stop. We decided to also do an extra tour of canoe to see animals and saw some monkeys. Not really worth the price but these people need the money more than travellers and this helps the community. There is quite a bit of pollution but clearly the priority is to eat and survive for these people.
We have visited this floating village with a rental scooter from Siem Reap. The entrance ticket for two people cost 35 USD or 140.000 KHR (without guide). They accept only cash. It includes a 60-80 minutes long boat trip on the Tonlé Sap Lake.
