Angkor Thom

Discover Angkor Thom: Cambodia’s Timeless Royal Legacy

Angkor Thom, the historic heart of Cambodia’s Khmer Empire, mesmerizes travelers with its awe-inspiring temples, intricate stone carvings, and rich cultural heritage. Located near Siem Reap, this ancient walled city, established in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for the iconic Bayon Temple, where 216 enigmatic stone faces gaze serenely over the lush jungle. Wander through the grand South Gate, flanked by statues of gods and demons, or explore the Terrace of the Elephants, a 300-meter-long platform adorned with detailed carvings of these majestic animals. Discover the mystical Baphuon Temple, climb the steep steps of Phimeanakas, or stroll through the vibrant local markets of nearby Siem Reap for handcrafted silk scarves and Khmer souvenirs. Immerse yourself in Cambodia’s vibrant culture during the Khmer New Year in April 2025, filled with traditional Apsara dance performances and communal feasts, or witness the Buddhist rituals of Pchum Ben in September. Savor authentic Khmer cuisine like amok trei (fish curry steamed in banana leaves) or lok lak (stir-fried beef) at local eateries, paired with refreshing Angkor beer or palm sugar juice.
