Never Been to Angkor Wat ? Tips for First Time Visitors
A blogger's guide for newbies.
Visiting Angkor Wat? Here’s everything you need to know
written by Chris Mitchell June 29, 2018
There are few experiences in all my travels that I recall with greater clarity or fondness than the magical time I spent exploring the Angkor Archaeological Park.
I remember waking up in the earliest part of the morning when there was still a thick layer of fog. I remember getting into a tuk-tuk with my partner, Briana, and arriving just as the sun was keen to peak out its knowing head. I remember being entranced by the famed spiraled towers of Angkor Wat, and I stood there, completely in awe, with nothing to do but soak in the sun’s rays and the temple’s majesty.
Visiting Cambodia‘s Angkor Wat is like being granted the keys to another world for a short period of time. While I was there, I often imagined in my head that, like a certain CS Lewis novel, I must have walked through a closet and into another realm.

I'm going there again next week, I haven't been to those temples since 2007. I was first there in 2000. Must check out that guide, cheers.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

If this had been written in 2002, (or for the brief month it was open at night in 2009) was last there in 2014, i agreeThere are few experiences in all my travels that I recall with greater clarity or fondness than the magical time I spent exploring the Angkor Archaeological Park.
BUT NOW, the numbers of Chinese,koreans have destroyed the serenity of being there..dam expensive as well, ( $37/day )
Buy "Ancient Angkor" book from one of the kids. $5-7, great guide book
