Cambodia Siem Reap Angkor Wat Angkor Thom 3 Day 2 Night GOKH7378

Morning have breakfast at the hotel's restaurant.
Take you to Banteay Srei Temple, a small castle on the outskirts, built with bright pink sandstone, different from other castles, so it is called the castle of love. French archaeologists have nicknamed this castle "the gem of Khmer art". The pleasure of visiting this castle is to see the lintel and pediment that are the most complete. Even though it is an old castle before the Angkor Wat era, it is still clear and can be seen clearly from every angle. Take you to see Ta Prohm Temple, built during the reign of King Jayavarman VII in 1729. In the Mahayana Buddhism, King Jayavarman VII ordered it to be built as a tribute to his mother. It is a very large Buddhist temple built in the style of the last Khmer era. The overall style is not layered. At Ta Prohm Temple, there are 2 types of trees. The largest tree is called the Sapong tree or the Samrong tree, in the Thai style. It is another type of softwood tree. It is a vine that grows on the pediment, the top or on the castle and roof. Both small and large trees grow according to the favorable conditions of the large roots that penetrate the stone slabs to find a place to plant in the ground, forming a shape similar to the tentacles of an octopus that clings to the castle.
Noon Have lunch at a restaurant.
Then visit Prasat Krawan, which was built to dedicate to Vishnu or Narayana. You can see from the carvings on the main prang that you will find carvings of Vishnu or Narayana Trivikram (stepping on three feet) and Narayana riding Garuda. Outside the castle on the north side, there are carvings of Nang Lakshmi (Vishnu's wife) on both sides of the wall. Take you to see Angkor Thom (Angkor Thom) through the Naga Bridge, a large carved stone bridge with the image of an angel pulling a naga. On the other side is a demon pulling a large naga as well. This is the beginning of a story told by the Brahmins about the origin of the human world and the universe. Walk through the southern city gate to see Bayon Temple, the royal temple of King Jayavarman VII. It is a style that is different from the original construction because he was a great devotee of Mahayana Buddhism. All 54 towers of Bayon Temple are carved with the image of the face of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, facing in all four directions to look after the happiness and suffering of his subjects so that they can live in peace and happiness. Then take a car to see the surrounding small temples, such as Baphuon Lan Xang Temple, Phiman Akat Temple, and visit one of the 7 wonders of the world, Angkor Wat Temple, built between 1650–1720 by King Suryavarman II as a tribute to the Buddha. See the sculptures of tens of thousands of apsaras and see the bas-relief of the Churning of the Milk Ocean, an ancient and sacred ritual that is very interesting. See the image of King Suryavarman I's army, with the image of Siem Reap's army, with Thai ancestors appearing.
17.30 Take you to see the sunset at the viewpoint of Phnom Bakheng peak.
A small hill about 70 meters high, it was called Prasat Phnom Kandal in ancient times (Phnom means mountain, Kandal means middle). On the top of the hill is Prasat Phnom Bakheng, the first religious site in Angkor, located on the top of the hill. Therefore, it is a beautiful viewpoint, especially seeing the top of Angkor Wat emerge in the middle of the forest. In addition, you can see a 360-degree view. You can also see Siem Reap city, Phnom Bok peak and Phnom Kulen mountain range stretching far away.
Evening Have dinner at the restaurant.
After the meal, take you to the Regency Angkor Hotel or similar
