Despite the June heat & humidity, we had an excellent time exploring, taking in the views, and listening to the stories behind the carvings. Our guide was patient and knowledgeable, keeping us engaged throughout with just the right pace. The guides here are well-trained, and speak really good English. Highly recommend as a starting point to your Siem Reap experience!

A must-in-a-lifetime experience - this destination should be in every travellers bucket list.
Angkor Wat has so much historical and cultural perspective that it deserves a day visit in itself, but unfortunately, we could only dedicate a few hours, primarily because the heat and humidity of June can be unbearable to an 8-year old after a while.

I expected more. My expectation was heightened by watching documentaries about this grand Hindoo temple, especially ariel views of this place. In person inside this complex, I found it just ok.

Don't miss sunrise at Angkor Wat! Afterwards start touring the temples, we had very few people if any at some temples when we started early in the am.
Just be aware of a security guard at the first parking area (where it would be best to park for sunrise) requests you pay him money directly to 'take good care of your scooter' after we politely declined, we heard him getting a little irrate at the next unsuspecting tourist that also declined. Parking is free and the staff in purple shirts who check tickets will assist you with any parking questions.

We took a private tour through Journey Cambodia that picked us up in the early morning to view the sunrise at Angkor Wat.
Pro Tip: Get your Temple Tickets the day before after 4:00 pm. If you purchase jist a single day pass at that time, not only will you gain access to the Temples for that evening, but also the following 2 full days. Go for a sunset walk around Phnom Bakheng (Bakheng Hill), just make sure they don't punch your ticket.
Taking a private tour (at least for part of your time at Angkor Wat), is the way to go in my opinion. You learn a lot more about the history of the structure and the significant of a lot of little details, inscriptions and design choices that you wouldn't get just by simply walking around. A good strategy would be to take a sunrise private tour (we spent 3 hours at Angkor Wat and another 6 at 3 other temples) and come back in the evening or another day if you feel you need more time to explore. There's a reason it's considered one of the wonders of the world, it's absolutely breathtaking. When you see how much detail is put into the structure, you can only imagine the splendor and sight it must have been nearly 900 years ago.

Has anyone visited more recently than Graham G below? Whilst not wanting to scaremonger I do worry about being packed into a crowded tourist site with visitors who may have come from countries where Coronovirus is prevalent. Very grateful for an update on bio security at the site from those who work there or who have visited in the past few days.

Hello, we’re just there yesterday. Empty sites everywhere. You will still encounter small handful westerners tourists and asians. We took lots of good pictures with blank (no tourists) passing behind you. Still take precautions, wash your hands often, sanitized your hands/ lunch table/ utensils.

hello! i'm wondering if there are any sources of running water in angkor wat to refill water bottles? we'll most likely be using a UV filtration system to prevent the water bottle trash. thank you!

We did 3 temples in one day and that was a good taste of that experience for us. $100US for a driver and guide, air conditioned car and water. The admission fee is $37US per person.
Hi, when did you travel to Ang Kor Wat? If on Feb 2020, how was the situation there after the CoronoVirus outbreak? Do you feel still safe to travel to Cambodia? Please advise as we had booked everything last year for next week travelling but still thinking whether to postpone or cancel the trip.

We went Monday for 1 night...of course the outbreak is still apparently fast moving but we saw few signs. We're back in Thailand now and face masks are much more in evidence here. Angkor Wat was packed with visitors from all parts of the globe with no suggestion of a slow down. We were fastidious with hand wipes etc as per normal when handling cash etc We passed thru temp scanners at both airport and train stations but that's all...enjoy!

I hear the Northern reflection lake (for the classic + best sunrise shot) is currently closed (Jan 20). Does anyone know when it reopens??
I see the shots from the alternate Southern lake are OK but not so good. Am thinking of not bothering with the sunrise if its still closed when we go. Thanks in advance.

You're not guaranteed the iconic photograph as even a light breeze disturbs the pond enough to destroy any reflection.
