Day 1: After your breakfast our guide will meet you in the lobby at your accommodation (Hotel or Guest House) and will take you to visit to the city of Angkor Thom. At first we will visit Bayon temple. It’s the highlight temple in the centre of Angkor Thom city with 49 towers in which every tower has 4 faces, so that means there are 196 faces of Budhhistsatva Avalokestesvara and we walk to the next temple nearby called Baphoun which is a Hindu temple built before Angkor Wat in 11st Century. The big Reclining Buddha behind it was built in 16th Century & we continue to Royal Enclosure Wall nearby with visit Elephant & Leper King Terrace , still within the complex of Angkor Thom. Then we continue to outside Angkor Thom complex to visit Ta Prohm temple on the small circuit road. This temple is one with a lot of gigantic tree roots over the temple and is the place where Hollywood made the movie "Tomb Raider".
After busy couple hours in the morning around 12:30pm we’ll have lunch at a local restaurant.
After lunch around 1:30pm or 2:00pm we’ll visit the world famous Angkor Wat temple. It really is amazing! Afterward continue to Phnom Bakheng, climb the hill and temple and enjoy watching the sunset view. After sunset when it's getting dark we climb down the hill and return to your hotel or guesthouse by 6:00pm or 6:30pm.
Note: Due to the limited number of tourists allowed at the peak on Phnom Bakheng , if it is busy we will take you to climb up Phnom Bakheng a bit earlier and you can take a bit longer waiting for sunset ( Note : Waiting & see sunset will take 1.45 hours - 2 hours )
At night: we can offer for free to take you to have a Buffet dinner and watch a Cambodian traditional performance (Apsara Show) . The dinner and show is at your own, additional, cost.
***Time to start tour ; you can choose your start time but we suggest you to start at 8:00am 8:15am or 8:30am or 8:45am or 9:00am. At the agreed time please be in your hotel lobby waiting for your tour guide.

Tips:
- Please note that you must be dressed appropriately for visiting some of our temples, Angkor Wat, Baphoun inside Angkor Thom, Phnom Bakheng and climbing some temples. This means your pants or skirt should cover your knees and shirt can not be sleeveless (make sure that your shirt covers your shoulders, no singlets!) otherwise you won't be allowed entry or to climb up this is by Temples Authority.
Comfortable walking shoes are recommended and wearing light cotton clothes are suggested as well for the weather from March to July as it's very hot with high humidity. - We suggest you to bring your camera charger then you can recharge it during your lunch break at restaurant.
- The official currency in Cambodia is the Cambodian Riel (KHR), however USD$ are used everywhere in the country and most of the prices are set in USD. We advise you to bring US$ and remember to bring new and clean bank notes as the old or torn notes will not be accepted at most places. ATMs are almost everywhere in the city also and making it easy to withdraw cash in USD. The exchange rate is usually roughly KHR4000 to US$1, so if you give US$2 for something which costs KHR6000, you will usually receive back KHR2000.
Remark:
Payment of tour fees will be required to at the end of tour only (you are not required to pay in advance or deposit at all) and pay in cash in USD only ( NO payment by credit cards )
