Angkor

There are many temples to discover within the Khmer Empire ruins; you probably need a month to throughly visit them all! Unless you are an archaeologist, realistically, one would dedicate one full day to explore the Angkor (city). In this post I’ve compiled the important spots to cover (in bold), and also what to look out for while at the spot itself (underlined). You may also find the cost breakdown below to give you a rough idea on how much to spend. 😉

Entrance fee: USD20

Tour Guide (optional): USD25

Tuk – tuk Fee (1 Day): USD15

TOTAL: USD60 

{Enter via Angkor Thom, the Great City}

{Hunt down the Terrace of the Elephants and snap a picture}

{Don’t miss out Bayon. Look out for: the richly decorated Khmer temple}

{oh, reliefs}

{Full Comb Raider outfit post here}

{This is, Prasat Bayon}

{Here, enjoy ‘the serenity of the stone faces‘}

{relive the Khmer stories by reading the stone carvings}

{You’ve never been to Angkor if you’ve never set eyes on Ta Prohm – where Tomb Raider was filmed}

{Last but not least, of course you won’t miss: the magnificent Angkor Wat}
