The whole 'city' of Angkor Thom was amazing. Loved it more than Angkor Wat, more diverse in what it has to offer. If you want to just take it all in, spend hours at Bayon (faces are imposing but not threatening, a serene feeling here) and at the terrace of the Elephants. Relief work is incredible and more fun to... more

A temple well worth a visit, it is huge and there is lots to see. A guide would be helpful as it makes it more interesting. more

The complex at this ruins is 9 square kilometers in area. It includes Bayon, Baphuon, Victory Gate, Terrace of the Elephants and Leper King, and Prasats Suor Prat as well as others.

My husband and I are Brits currently living in hot and humid Singapore. Last month his parents came out to visit us for a fortnight and we planned a week's side trip to off-season Cambodia, to see the temples of Angkor. We browsed various holiday websites and finally decided, through recommendations, to contact Mr. Tee (Sopheap Nhoep) at www.angkorholiday.blogspot.com. We... more

Angkor Thom was the centre of the 12th Century city of Angkor. With Over 1 million people it was the worlds largest city. At the centre of the great city of Angkor lies the Bayon Temple. It has 52 towers with the huge serene faces of the Jayavarman VII. To the north is the great plaza adjoining 300 metre long... more
