Siem Reap
- The Cradle of Angkor Civilization - Where

Covering approx 600 sq km, it contains more than 100 fabulous ancient
monuments and over dozen major compound Temples, which were built during
the most splendid Era of the Khmer
Dynasty between the 9th -
13th century and were the ancient capital of the
Khmer Empire.
The constant building program undertaken by successive Khmer
kings can be compared favourably with the pyramid construction projects
of the Pharaohs in Egypt. Similar to the Pharaohs, the Khmer kings made
use of a vast force of slave labour. Each new "project" was made
possible by the 750,000 people estimated to have lived at Angkor during
the 12th and 13th centuries. Here, travellers
will have experiences about Cambodian’s Spirit value worth through
Ancient Temples (worshipping Shiva-Hindu, or Buddha, Khmer Kings), the
stately vestiges of Old Palaces, Royal Courts, ancient Terraces, Public
Building, collapsed citadels and antique Towers.

REAP FULLDAY TOUR
(by A/C car)

Thommanon,
small, attractive temple in very good condition, built at the same time
as Angkor Wat. It’s Angkor Wat style is most easily seen in the style of
the carved apsaras and the shape of the tower,

it seems to stand in partnership with Thommanon but actually was built
much later in Suryavarman II’s rule than Thommanon,
Banteay Kdei,
Srash Srong.
Then
visit Kravan & especially
Ta Phrom Temple, was a monastery built by Jayavarman VII as a
residence for his mother. Ta Prohm has been controversially left to the
destructive power of the jungle by French archeologists to show how
nature can destroy man's work. It has been largely overgrown by the
jungle and as you climb through the dilapidated stone structures you see
many giant trees growing out of the top of the temple itself.
Ta Prohm looks as many of the monuments
did when European explorers first laid eyes on them.
After that, excursion to
Grand Circuit,
visit Pre Rup,
traditionally believed to be a funerary temple, but in fact the
state temple of Rajendravarman II.
Mebon,
architecturally and artistically superior temple-mountain.
Beautifully carved false doors on upper level as well as an excellent
view of the surrounding countryside.
Tasom,
the most distant temple on the grand circuit. Small but classic
Jayavarman VII temple, Neak
Pean, which
means ‘coiled serpents’, from the encoiled nagas that encircled the
temple. The temple is faced by a statue of the horse, Balaha, saving
drowning sailors and Preah
Khan,
‘Preah Khan' means
'sacred sword'. In harmony with Ta Prohm, which was dedicated to
Jayavarman VII's mother, Preah Khan is dedicated to his father.
Finally, in the late afternoon, coming to the
Phnom Bakheng temple,
is the
first temple in Angkor region build by the
YacovarmanI King in the first of 9th century, located
