| UNESCO: Top Tower, Angkor Wat |
Angkor Wat is faced west. Entering to the temple before noon is to walk into the light path length of 700 meters. Fortunately, the cool air in January making Angkor Wat visit was filled with pleasure. At the same time, it was filled with international tourists.
My first day was devoted
to this ancient site only. With a vast territory and countless valuable
information, just keep walking around, it took long hours. Before getting there
I had to spend a week with the study of history, art history, spectacular
pieces not to be missed, exploring tips and much more. Yet, when was there I
needed to arrange my thoughts clearly and took my guidebook reading sometime.

- Calmness of the magnificent baray length 5.5km
- Thousands of Apsara sculptures, the remaining liveliness of the Ancient Khmer royal court
My tips
Aesthetic moment
"A cup of favourite drink"
I saw one visitor enjoying
the beauty of Angkow Wat on the top tier ground floor while sipping hot coffee
by a thermal mug. This is a really good idea.
"A delicious meal"
Spend many hours in the
walls of Angkor Wat with a picnic lunch under the trees. No need to rush out.
Save energy and time
Heading to appreciate the
grandeur of Angkor Wat on the top tier by climbing the steep stairs when you
are strong is recommended before exploring the gallery on first tier. Because
it takes quite a long time and can be managed more easily at a later time.
One-way trip. With a
distance of several hundred meters or a kilometer from the west entrance under
the sun to temple then to the east entrance, if you do not want to walk back
into the west, chauffeur can drive forward at the east gate car park for picking
you up.
