Itinerary
Day 1 Home / Siem Reap
Check in at International Airport for your flight to Siem Reap. Check in hotel (If time is permit). Dinner at your own arrangement or ask for recommendation from tour guide. Tonight free at your own leisure to visit night market or the famous Pub Street.
Day 2 Siem Reap – Angkor Wat Temple, Ta Prohm Temple, Angkor Thom, South Gate, Baphuon, Phimeanakas, Elephants Terraces & Leper King Terraces, Bayon, Bakheng Mountain Sunset
Breakfast at hotel. Visit the visually, architecturally and artistically breath-taking Angkor Wat. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five beehive-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centrepiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor. The temple itself is 1 km square and consists of three levels surmounted by a central tower. The walls of the temple are covered inside and out with bas-reliefs and carvings. Nearly 2000 distinctively rendered apsara (angel) cravings adorn the walls through the temple and represent some of the finest examples of apsara carving in Angkorian era art. Then visit the Ta Prohm Temple - this quite sprawling monastic complex is partially cleared of jungle overgrowth. Intentionally left partially un-restored, massive fig and silk cotton trees grow from the towers and corridors offering some of the best “tree-in temple” photo opportunities. Lunch at your own arrangement at the temple or ask for recommendation from tour guide. Next visit South Gate of Angkor Thom. Angkor Thom (Big Angkor) is a 3km Square walled and moated royal city and was the last capital of Angkorian Empire. After Jayavarman VII recaptured the campaign from the Cham invaders in 1181, he began a massive building campaign across the empire, constructing Angkor Thom as his new capital city. He began with existing structures such as Baphuon and Phimeanakas, Elephants Terraces & Leper King Terraces and builds a grand Royal Enclosed City around them, adding the outer wall/moat and some of Angkor’s greatest temples including his state-temple, Bayon famous with its 54 towers decorated with 216 enormous mysterious smiling faces, set at the center of the city. It also There are five entrances (gates) to the city, one for each cardinal point and the victory gate leading to the Royal Palace area and sunset at Bakheng Mountain. Dinner at your own arrangement or ask for recommendation from tour guide.
Day 3 Siem Reap – Silk Farm, West Barray, Senteurs D’angkor, Wat Thmey (Siem Reap Killing Field), Candy Angkor, Preah Ang Chek Preah Ang Chorm Shrine, Bats, Yeay Tep, Royal Palace, Artisan Dangkor, Old Market
Breakfast at hotel. Visit Silk Farm covers an area of 8 hectares, of which 5 are used for the mulberry trees plantation, you will enjoy the beautiful setting while learning about the fascinating process of silk-making. During visit the guide will give you more details on the mulberry trees, silkworm farming, cocoon unwinding, preparation of the silk threads, ikat technique (tie-dyeing of the threads) and silk weaving. Then visit West Baray is a vast man-made lake, surrounded by an earthen levee which forms a dyke. Next Senteurs d’Angkor shop you are immediately struck by an explosion of the senses with heady aromas floating from every corner. It can be difficult to choose which kind of scent you prefer so you can start with an everyday indulgence by trying the coconut oil-based handmade soaps. Available in a variety of scents including jasmine, orchid, cinnamon, lemongrass, green tea, mango. Lotus and orange soaps are all made by hand, using traditional techniques and extracts derived exclusively from plant oils and 100 % natural ingredients. Lunch at your own arrangement at the temple or ask for recommendation from tour guide. Afternoon we will visit Wat Thmey. It is a small active Pagoda, with a not-very-inspiring statue of Buddha. The hall it’s in is quite nicely rated and deco you could spend a good couple of minutes there looking around. Outside there are the homes for the monks, and a teaching hall, as well as a small gift shop selling tourist tack. Wat Thmey is home to Siem Reap’s Killing Fields’ memorial. Anyone who comes to Cambodia and knows anything about it’s past will know that since the 1400s it has been a trouble country. 1st the Thais sacked Angkor in 1432. Then in 1863, at the request of the King in Exile, the French took over. In the 1960s and 70s, Cambodia was subject to violent protests, and civil war. Finally in 1975, the Khmer Rouge took power. They renamed the country Democratic Kampuchea and started clearing people from towns. In a matter of hours, the- entire population of Phnom Penh was ordered to leave. Many people died on the road. Everywhere people were put to work. People were killed for the slightest reason – for being too clever, for refusing to work. Many more died through starvation, illness and the brutality that followed. Most were buried in mass graves, or simply thrown into hastily dug trenches. It is estimated that 2,000,000 people were killed – about a third of the population at the time. The regime was largely ousted in 1979 but Cambodia was in a state of limbo and run by the Vietnamese until 1993 when the King was restored and power returned to an elected government. Cambodia as a modern country is only 20 years old. No wonder people look to the future, even though their greatest monuments are from the past. Pol Pot had great ideals, great motives, but the plan went awry. In Phnom Penh there are reminders of this at Chao Ponhea Yat High School (the notorious Tuol Sleng or S21 prison camp) and the Killing Fields. In Siem Reap, the memorial is a small building at Wat Thmey with glass windows housing the skulls and bones of some of those who perished. There are also a couple of boards with fading photos showing life in the dark days. Candy Angkor one of the Japanese candy craftsmen taught three Cambodians the skills of creating the candies, therefore the first Cambodian craftsmen were born as well! The Angkor Wat design is just wonderful! There are various kinds of patterns and flavors so it is fun just gazing at them. Preah Ang Chek Preah Ang Chorm Shrine in the Royal Independence Gardens in Siem Reap. There was a band with traditional Khmer instruments set on the shrine floor playing traditional Khmer music. Few monks were seated on the side to give people blessings and take offerings of food and clothes from devoted Buddhists. Inside a small room, there were two statues of Buddha and people were hanging flower rings on them, touching their hands or just leaving other offerings at their feet. Hundreds upon hundreds of incense sticks were being lit up and burned in a large ashtray. The smoke from these could be smelled and seen half a mile away. Devotees also prey before the Buddha images with their palms joined together for a prayer while burning incense sticks are held between the palms. Preah Ang Chek Preah Ang Chorm Shrine is a small, but nicely located and beautifully built shrine that enjoys vast popularity among people of Siem Reap. In the evening you will see thousands of bats flying of the tree searching for food, Ya Tep in the middle of the road is a huge tree. Right by this is a small shrine to Ya Tep. Now “he” is a Neak-Ta or spirit that is connected to this particular area. This particular Neak-Ta brings protection and predicts lottery ticket winners for believers. Next visit Artisans D’Angkor handicraft center. This handicraft center was forby French. They help the cripples in Cambodia to master handicraft skills. We can buy the finished product from the center. Last visit The Old Market (Phsar Chas) and surrounding area including the nearby Pub Street, Pub Street alleys and the Night Markets are 'must sees' when visiting Siem Reap. Very popular, the whole Old Market area stretching from the river across to the night markets on Sivutha Blvd is now the dining, shopping and nightlife centre of town. Of the various traditional Cambodian markets in Siem Reap, the Old Market offers the deepest selection of souvenirs and curios. There are souvenir vendors throughout much the market, especially on the river side. Dinner at your own arrangement or ask for recommendation from tour guide.
