This city is surrounded by an 8m high wall; each side of the city is 3 kilometers long. It draws a perfect square you access this town through 5 gates, 4 of them represent the cardinal points and the 5th one the Victory Gate was the one leading directly to the Royal Palace area.

You will arrive via the South Gate, an impressive stone gate carved with Elephants and 4 giant faces. On each side is a row of 54 gods or demons holding the sacred Naga snake.

After passing through the South Gate, you will go down along this shady road to the Bayon temple. This temple lies exactly in the center of the city. The particularity of this monument is the 54 towers representing the 54 provinces of the then Great Khmer Empire. Each tower has 4 faces. This is the only temple in Cambodia depicting scenes of the everyday life at the time of the empire.

From the Bayon continue by walk to the Baphoun recently re-opened to the public. There you will pass by the Phimeanakas the location of the Royal Palace. The only remaining are a pond and a temple. The palace was made of wood and did not survive the time and the wars.

Then continue to the Terrace of the Elephants. This Terrace was the place where the parade was done for the king. Next is the Terrace of the Leper King, depicting the water world.

Ta Prohm overgrown temple – continues transfer to Ta Prohm - one of the most popular temples of the Angkor Complex. This temple was built in the memory of the King Jayavarman VII’s mother. When found by the French conservators at the end of the 19th century, they deliberately left this temple in the same condition as it was discovered, overgrown by strangler fig and silk-cotton trees, giving the temple a mystical and romantic appeal.

Your visit will include Banteay Kdei, a Buddhist monastery from the late 12th century, Srah Srang, also known as the “pool of ablutions”, the identical twin temples of Tommanon and Chaosay Tevoda, Ta Keo and Krovan temple.

Angkor Wat – continue visit the magnificent temple of Angkor Wat, built by Suryavarman II in early 12th century. Angkor Wat is constructed following the model of the temple mountain symbolizing the mount Merou, home of the gods, considered as the masterpiece of the Khmer architecture. This Vishnuite temple is the King’s funerary temple that is why the temple is oriented to the west. Inside the temple the walls are covered by carvings and bas-reliefs depicting the Hindu mythology and the wars Suryavarman II made during his reign. As well Angkor Wat is well known for the 1800 Apsara dancers decorating the all temple. But like most say, it takes a life time to discover all the wonders of this temple.

Return to Siem Reap after watching sunset at Phnom Bakheng Hill. Dominating the flat landscape, this 10th Century mountain temple is the most popular spot in the area to watch a classic sunset over Angkor Wat and the surrounding forest or

Watching sunset at Pre Rup temple, a Hindu temple, built as the state temple of king Rajendravarman and dedicated in 961. It is a temple mountain of combined brick, laterite and sandstone construction. The temple’s name is a comparatively modern one meaning "turn the body". This reflects the common belief among Cambodians that funerals were conducted at the temple, with the ashes of the body being ritually rotated in different directions as the service progressed.

During the night of your stay in Siem Reap, you can enjoy Siem Reap nightlife, night markets, foods and other fun activities in Siem Reap downtown, Pub Street areas and city formerly French colonial head quarter.

Banteay Srei - after breakfast at your hotel, depart for an excursion to visit Banteay Srei, made of pink sandstone and is one of the smallest temple you can visit but one of the most beautiful as well. Built in 967 AD by a guru to Jayavarman V, it showcases the most exquisite, deep and complex carvings in all Khmer architectures. As well the carvings and bas-relief are in a perfect condition although being here for more than millenary.

Kbal Spean waterfall - continue to the original “River of a Thousand Lingas” Kbal Spean is and intricately carved riverbed deep in the foothills the Cambodian jungle. Lingas are phallic representations sacred to Hinduism as symbols of fertility, and hundreds of them are carved into the rock here, as are several carvings of Gods and animals above the small waterfall.  The area was only rediscovered in 1969 when French researcher Jean Boulbet was shown the carvings by a local hermit. Kbal Spean lies 50Km northeast of Siem Reap 18Km from Banteay Srei on a dirt road. It takes from 1-2 hours to get there from Siem Reap.

Lunch at local restaurant (at your own costs)

On the way back to Siem Reap, visit an isolated temple of Banteay Samre. Situated on the eastern edge of the Angkor complex, this temple is very similar to Angkor Wat. The structure with its typical lotus flowers shaped tower but has very compact proportions. This temple was built during the best period of the Khmer architecture and its condition is almost perfect.

Grand Circuit - explore the highlights of the Grand Circuit, like the overgrown Preah Khan temple and Neak Poan with its artificial lakes. Continue to East Mebon temple and return to Siem Reap after viewing sunset at The Pre Rup Temple.

Day III - Chong Kneah floating village and Rolous Group

Chong Kneah floating village - in the morning, after breakfast at the hotel, transfer to the Phnom Krom pier for boat on Tonle Sap Lake to visit floating village of Chong Kneah at the edge of Tonle Sap Lake. Cambodia’s Great Lake, the Boueng Tonle Sap (Tonle Sap Lake) is the most prominent feature on the map of Cambodia – a huge dumbbell-shaped body of water stretching across the northwest section of the country. In the wet season, the Tonle Sap Lake is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Asia, swelling to an expansive 12,000km2. During the dry, half of the year the lake shrinks to as 3000 km2, draining into the Tonle Sap River, which meanders southeast eventually merging with the Mekong River at the “Chaktomuk” confluence of river opposite Phnom Penh.

Lunch at local restaurant (at your own costs)

Rolous group - continues visit Rolous group, consists of three temples of Preah Ko, Bakong and Lolei.

Preah Ko, six towers displaying set on a platform, all beautifully preserved carvings. Originally surrounded by walls and gopuras of which only vestiges remain. Preah Ko was one of the first major temples of the empire at the early Khmer capital of Hariharalaya. Preah Ko (Sacred Bull) derives its names from the statues of bulls at the front of the central towers.

Bakong, the most impressive member of the Rolous Group, sitting at the center of the first Angkorian Capital, Hariharalaya, stands 15 meters tall and is 650x850m at the outer wall.

Lolei, ruins of an island-temple built in the middle of a now day baray, Indrataka, the first large-scale baray constructed by a Khmer King. Lolei consists of four brick towers on a double laterite platform.

Wonderful 3days/2nights

The tour was perfectly organized: I received detailed information via email ahead of time, and it happened exactly as outlined: we got picked up in Bangkok, driven to Siam Reap and welcomed by our wonderful guide Kim who showed us everything possible in these 2 days, incl sun rise and sun set! He is very knowledgable about the history of the site, and Cambodia in general. When we had a small problem, he got involved and helped solve it immediately. Angkor Thom is a gem, and absolutely worth the trip. I recommend booking through Cambodia Travel Trails and Mr Sophoan Rath!

Posted Date: Saturday 6th of January 2024

Sara T

5+ stars, and highly recommended

A 4-day private tour from BKK to Siem Reap and back, family of 4 Canadians (parents with a young adult and older teen children).

I contacted 4 travel companies in BKK/Siem Reap with our preferred itinerary. Sophoan was the only one who not only replied promptly, but also accommodated our entire plan. The communications were top notch from the start to the end, and we were confident that we were in good hands. After the itinerary was confirmed, a US$100 deposit was required by PayPal.

One day before our trip date, Sophoan sent us a detailed email informing us of our driver names as well as the vehicle license numbers and their pictures, and the border agent name. He let us know where exactly our driver would be waiting for us at the BKK airport.

Upon arrival, exactly where we were supposed to meet with the driver, a staff member with a piece of paper with our names on it was there to meet us. She then directed us to our private van.

Our driver, Mr. Rainbow, was polite and friendly. His van was comfortable, and we felt safe with his driving. The trip to the Cambodian border (at Poi Pet) took 3 hours, including a quick washroom/gas stop en route. The washrooms were clean, with a handheld bidet, but no toilet paper provided. So make sure you have a packet of tissues on you. We were able to grab cold drinks at the cafe at the gas station.

At the border, an agent walked with us and guided us through the immigration formalities. They took our luggage across the border for us while we waited in the immigration centres (so lock/seal your bags before they leave your hands). We first had to leave Thailand, then enter Cambodia (you need to fill out a landing form). The wait was about 45 minutes at each centre when we arrived at about 2:30 on a Tuesday afternoon. No washrooms or drink vending machine there, so be prepared.

Once cleared, the border agent took us to our Cambodian driver, Mr. Sure, who waited for us with a smile and bottles of cold water. It was a treat. The ride to Siem Reap took 2 and a half hours (only about 150 kms away, but slow roads), including a washroom stop.

We stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott Siem Reap Resort (which we cannot recommend enough). Our tour guide, Mr. Kim Sophatt, met with us at the hotel and gave us the guidelines of what was to happen in the next 3 days. As it was just the 4 of us, we were able to switch the itinerary around to suit our schedules, as well as the time Mr. Kim suggested would be best to visit each location (i.e. Angkor Wat at sunrise and early morning, Ta Prohm I’m in the afternoon, etc).

During the following 3 days, we spent most of our time with Mr. Kim and Mr. Sure, and both were such a delight. Mr. Kim is a very knowledgeable and experienced tour guide (20 years in the business), but what we loved most about him is the pride he has for his heritage, history, and country, and his friendliness and the wonderful sense of humour. Both he and Mr. Sure always had a smile on their faces, and laughed easily. They both made our trip very enjoyable.

As we chose to not have meals included in our package (picky eaters), we relied on Mr. Kim and the hotel for restaurant recommendations. Lunches were normally at restaurants near our sightseeing spots, but we had options for dinner. After having been eating Asian food for 10 days prior to our arrival in Cambodia, we opted for Big Boy Burger and got our bacon craving fixed. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet at the Courtyard Resort, dinner buffet and dance show at Amazon Angkor, and our fine dining at the beautiful PT Restaurant, but for food and service, our favourite on this trip was Khmer Duerm.

As for the tour itself, a lot of walking, and a lot of climbing (optional). Our kids would like to visit the waterfall, so that was a 1.8 km hike up the mountain each way. We must commend Mr. Kim for accompanying on this hike. He could just simply point us the way and wait at the bottom of the mountain, but he did not. Our kids really enjoyed the waterfall, as there was no one else there. It was our family private pool while we were there. We borrowed the pool towels from the hotel when we went, and there was a washroom for us to change in and out of the bathing suits at the bottom of the mountain.

I won’t go into the details of the temple tour, but I wanted to say that most wall carvings were from the story of Ramayana. If you know the book, you will appreciate the history of all the temples a lot more.

On the 4th day, we said good bye to Mr. Kim after lunch. Mr. Sure drove us back yo the border, also 2 and a half hours with one washroom break. The border agent met with us and walked us through the formalities again. This time there was no lines leaving Cambodia, but again 45 minutes at the Thai border. We had to fill out a landing form as well. After that, our border agent took us to our van, and we met up with Mr. Rainbow again. We got to BKK on Friday evening. Traffic was nonexistent until about a half an hour before we hit our hotel by the BKK airport.

All in all, a very memorable trip thanks in the most part to the organization of Sophoan, the expertise of Mr. Kim (who is a wonderful photographer, by the way), and the friendliness of our drivers and border agents. We highly recommend this company, as we’re already planning a return trip with other family members.

Amazing tour of Siem Reaps temples

We booked the trip to the temples of Siem Reap including ground transfer from Bangkok, land border crossing into Cambodia and private driver and tour guide.
The communication during and after the booking process was outstanding and very clear.
The transport from Bangkok and border crossing was very well organized and we arrived as planned in our hotel in Siem Reap, where we met our tour guide Kim the first time.
Kim helped us to personalize our itinerary for the next days, so that it would accommodate our wish for the right balance between sightseeing and also some relaxation.
We very much liked the way we were shown the incredible sights with Kim’s detailed explanation of them.

Everything was perfect. Thanks again!

Amazing trip - thanks Sophoan Rath!

My friend and I visited Siem Reap, the temples, and the Floating Village with the help of Sophoan. He was an amazing guide as he knows his way around the temples very easily, was patient with us as we explored, and was happy to answer any questions we had (he is FULL of great information!) as well as offer suggestions of where to go and insight into everyday life in Cambodia. I cant wait to go back!

A Perfect end to our tour of Vietnam and Cambodia

My wife and I spent three days in Siem Reap at the end of our holiday to Vietnam and Cambodia during which time we experienced a variety of guides. We were very fortunate in having Poan as our guide for the Angkor temple complex. He is very knowledgeable and having an excellent understanding of English was able to answer our many questions. However, he did not bombard us with information but gave us time and space to absorb our surroundings. We were also very impressed by his flexible approach in the use of our time and the further insights he gave us on the way of life and culture of the Cambodian people. We would thoroughly recommend Poan.

Thank you, Poan. I have spent wonderful time in Cambodia thanks to your guidance. It was second time we met together and I hope to come again to Cambodia. I am very satisfied with your service, I am very respect to the history of Cambodia and your personal. Now in Polish:
Poan jest wspanialym przewodnikiem. Juz drugi raz byl moim przewodnikiem po Kambodzy. Czlowiek ma ogromna wiedze i wysoka kulture osobista. Jego osobista historia zycia mrozi krew w zylach. Ale teraz to wspanialy czlowiek i przewodnik, ktorego polecam kazdemu.

Best experience, lifetime memories. Poan excells himself as an excelent tour leader having everything flawlessly organized. Poan and Bopa's huge human abilities strenghtened our group's experience on Cambodia. I would definitly recommend Poan as tour guide without any doubts.

Sprawling jungle temple covering over one square kilometer, the temple is largely overrun by vegetation and very lightly touristed, giving it an adventours, ‘lost temple’ feel. Photographers: trees growing from the broken towers and galleries offer some of the best ‘tree in temple’ shots aside from Ta Prohm. Constructed in a distinctly Angkor Wat style under the same king that built Angkor Wat, Beng Melea preceded and may have served as a prototype of sorts for Angkor Wat. Though there are some lintel and doorway carving, there are no bas-relief and the carvings are comparatively sparse....

Jayavaraman II was the first king of the Angkorian era, though his origins are recorded in history that borders on legend. He is reputed to have been a Khmer prince, returned to Cambodia around 790AD after a lengthy, perhaps forced stay in the royal court in ‘Java’. Regardless of his origin, he was a warrior who, upon returning to Cambodia, subdued enough of the competing Khmer states to declare a sovereign and unified ‘Kambuja’ under a single ruler. He made this declaration in 802AD in a ceremony on Kulen Mountain (Phnom Kulen) north of Siem Reap, where he held a ‘god-king’ rite that remain more than hundred decades....
