ANGKOR THOM HALF DAY

Description:

Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Khmer Empire, was a fortified cit enclosing residences of priest, officials of

the palace and military, as well as buildings for administering the kingdom. These structures were built of wood and

have perished but the remaining stone monuments testify that Angkor Thom was indeed a "Great City" as its name

implies. Temples inside the walls of the city described in this article are Bayon, Phimeanakas, Baphuon, Terrace of the

Elephants, Terrace of the Leper King, Prah Palilay, Tep Pranam and Prasat Suor Prat. With only a half day, our tour

guide helps you to experience all cultural and structural beauty here.

Tour Itinerary

In the morning then start our tour to South Gate of Angkor Thom, then go to Angkor Thom (the temple)

which was built by Angkor's greatest king, Jayavarman VII. The major attraction of Angkor Thom is the Bayon, whose

exact function and symbolism is still unknown until now, then go to Baphoun which is one of the most spectacular of

Angkor’s temples in its heyday, Phimean Akas temple within the Royal Palace enclosure, Terrace of the Elephants

was used as a giant reviewing stand for public ceremonies and served as a base for the king’s grand audience hall;

Terrace of the Leper King is another of Angkor’s mysteries.
