Hey Chris, let me share a little info about the temple. Prasat Norkor (a.k.a. Angkor Wat, which mean Kingdom's Temple in Khmer language) was NOT built in the 12th century like the French wrote in history. The idea of construction started around 12,000 years ago and took between 200-300 years to complete. However, the truth has been heavily suppressed by the Dark Forces and their puppets global elites. They've tried to wiped out Khmer people and Khmer history many times ever since the collapsed of Khmer civilization since the 1300's, but it cannot be done because Khmer civilization is very advanced spiritually and also protected by higher Light Beings.
This information I shared now is just a glimpse of what to be revealed in the very near future, of course, after all the clean up of global elites and Dark Forces masters are removed from Earth.
BTW... The Khufu Pyramid and Sphinx in Egypt also belong to Khmer civilization as well. Much Love!
Great video!! I think you got the dates off between the temples of Angkor and Thom. Thom was around 800 century and Angkor Wat was build around 1200 King Juayavanna VII (i think); can't spelled his name and he was the one that brought the Buddhist/Tervada in Cambodia. During that time it was the peak of the Khmer empire and after his death it was the ultimate fall of Khmer empire.
Bro should have done a drone video on all the temples ... Imagine the views.........
Angkor wat: one of my favorite places in the world 🙂♥️♥️♥️♥️.
Yes!!! Let's go back! 🙏🏻❤️
The reason why you were given another 1 day pass for free because we want to enhance the tourist activities within the park as well as supporting the locals economy.
Wow that is amazing! So nice to hear!
I went yesterday (Tuesday) and was equally confused that I could go again on my "one day pass". I got my pass on Monday afternoon, was really fast, for the next day.
I thought it was to spread out the number of people so that there aren’t too much concentration in a particular day because of covid.
I am going next week, is this 2 days for 1 day pass thing still going on?
@@trnsfr9014 I think it stopped in December. Ah, you’re spending thousands to fly half around the world to be there. Just get a ticket for as many days as you need. It’s not much in the scheme of things. It’s the cost of one or two dinner out. No big deal. Hey, if you’re going there (Siem Reap), do not skip going to Malis for dinner. Dishes that we had that were great were: the sausages, the beef sour soup called samlor machou kroeung sach ko (tell them add morning glory), the mango salad, the baked goby fish, the grilled Kep lobster, and the palm fruit desert. But if you are in Phnom Pehn, skip Malis and Mealea there at all cost. Their food suck big time. Instead go to One More Restaurant. Dishes that we had that were good were the fried fish cake, the bamboo fish soup called samlor praheur trapeang trey ros, and the green noodle dessert.
We are here in Siem Reap, Cambodia for 3 weeks. Have visited 7 temples..definetly takes time. Every temple is unique in its one way. I definitely like the roots attaching themselves to the Temples such unique trees. Definetly don't forget to bring bug spray too!
Lots of history and stories behind each built temples. Many things to learn. Thank you and enjoy your Cambodia’s adventures.
🫶☀️
The largest religious temple in the world in the largest prehistorical city in the world. Epic adventure… thanks for sharing…
Thanks so much for the support! It was truly a special place!
I like when people admire our temple, but it's definitely deserve your admiration. Thanks for coming. Take care
It is so incredibly beautiful!
Awesome video Chris. I went to Angkor Wat 3 years ago when I stayed in Siem Reap and you pretty much covered what I saw. Unfortunately, I went there around 11am and as you can imagine the heat and humidity was absolutely brutal. I was sweating buckets. Glad you chose to go early. I also went on a tour group and I found it pretty helpful being a 1st time visitor.
Wow right before everything shut down! Was there a ton of people? I'm glad you were able to experience that bro!
Man by 11 I was done ahaha I had sweated out three shirts that day! Actually before I even showed my face the first time in this video I had already changed!
Your sweat glands are working!
Amazing Angkor wat temple ❤️❤️😘,🇰🇭🇰🇭
Yes so special!
The best time to visit this magical place is between November and January as the weather is cool and dry. The Angkor city was built in the fist half of the 12th century so it is almost a thousand years old since. If you have a chance, visit the place before you die. Happy travels. Peace out!
Angkor wat was built by Khmer Kings .Jayvaraman II to Jayvaraman VII 🇰🇭🛡️
Such an amazing place!
Was there in 2014 and the 4 day ticket we got was not enough, as we were on a 4 country trip we did not have time to see it all. Well worth the trip to see this out standing and impressive complex, i recommend it.!
Man this place is amazing! Crazy how you were able to get all those shots with no people around. Should be one of the wonders of the world
Yes dude! It was so special! I got super lucky, especially because they are soooo strict about filming bro, they literally followed me the entire time
This is one the greatest video. Much respect brother ❤️🙏
Thank you so much bro!
I always watch but this is the first time commenting. I fell in love with your channel during your Serbia series (please come back!) - but I just want to say, everything about your channel has grown immensely since then. So proud of your success, it's only going to keep going up! You are an awesome human, Chris! 🥰🙏
You should work for the history channel. You bring edginess and making history cool. Have been looking forward to this Angkor Wat video for you and you don’t disappoint. Thanks 🙏
Agreed
Wow thanks so much for the amazing comment! You made my day! I out a mot of love into these videos and when I get comments like yours it motivates me to keep creating! Big hug! ❤️🙏🏻
I recommend you to visit "banteay srey temple" It has the most beautiful art of all temples in Cambodia
I will have to come back to visit that one!
Pink temple
Wow, very good, friend. Angkor Wat temple is in my country, Cambodia. Thanks so much for your sharing this to all over the world 🌎
Thanks so much for the support! ❤️🙏🏻🇰🇭
Largest hindu temple in the world. Dedicated to Bhagwan Vishnu. Must visit for every Sanatani
Wow so beautiful Angkor wat in Cambodia 😍😍
Yes so beautiful!!
felicidades for the video you've shared to us.we have also lots of beautiful tourist spots and locations/UNESCO world heritage sites to visit here in my country....you should come and visit and you'll certainly love it for sure....
Thanks so much Loreto! I'd love to! What country are you watching from?
@@Travelwithchris, I'm from the archipelago of the Philippines....
Our ancestors build a unique architect ,so amazing and perfect all temple 🥰🇰🇭😊
Yes so beautiful' ❤️🇰🇭
thats why converted a hindu temple into buddhist temple
@@successiongaming7829 nope it's a vaishnavism temple
@@successiongaming7829 it's for vaishnavism Vishnu temple and brahma
@@sudhakaran.v3736 vaishnavism is part of hinduism.
Thanks for the video. It has surely helped in planning our trip to Cambodia.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the support! I hope you enjoyed your time!
Don't you know that Angkor wat could stand until today because of the water around it
I love watching your videos. Your videos are truly amazing.
Thanks so much for the support! It means the world to me!
Hope you come back here again ❤ love you
My favorite temple is the bayon too!! U need a few days to explore the whole ankor city.
If you bring any snacks monkey I will love Chris . Make a wish when come to visit Angkor Wat your dream will come true. You are very lucky to visit Angkor Wat .
Thanks so much Vanny! I'm going back to Cambodia soon forsure!
The Bayon temple reminds me of like Aztec or Mayan ruins found in the Americas. Monkeys are all over the place in Cambodia, Thailand and Myanmar they are mischievous and very wild. You could evolve or change and do like wildlife videos and make your own travel with Chris merchandise.(t-shirts, coffee mugs, hats magnets, souvenirs) Where to next?
Thanks a lot for the great feedback Wilson! I would love to launch some merch soon! Lets see if I can make that happen!
I definitely want to branch out into other areas in the future! I appreciate your support so much! Next comes Vietnam videos and right now I'm in India filming here! A lot of great things in the works!
Amazing Angkor Wat temple♥️😱
Yes! It was such a beautiful place!
Angkor wat is a vishnu temple (supreme god in hinduism) built by hindu king suryavarman in 12th century ❤
Wow! Such a special place!
Of course it is. Nothing like it in the world. Heaven on Earth. Khmer Empire 🇰🇭
Yes!!! I don't know why this is not a wonder of the world!
@@Travelwithchris technically it is, but not officially. It's more of the 8th wonder. I don't understand it all.
thanks for video. do yo know please in Cambodia tourist visa extension if "expiry date: 2 August" does it mean 2 August (day 60 since enter) is still a full valid day to leave no overstay issues ?
Thanks a lot! To be honest I know nothing about the visa policy, I'm sure you could find that online
Was there in 1996.
Favorited Angkor Wat.
Banteay Srei has a lots of texture pattern of detailed statues.
Wow! Did it look any different at all? As far as crowds or maintenance?
@@Travelwithchris I was 10 when I went to Siem Reap in 1997 weeks after two-day war in Phnom Penh. I traveled by boat because during that year the road was so difficult to drive and spent days reaching the province. During that time no Hotel or Guest House opened (closed due to political turmoil) so my uncle and I spent the night at pagoda. It was so crazy that people selling stuff even inside the temple. But believe me when I step my foot in front of Angkor Wat for the first time I felt I was in another universe. Indescribable feeling. Compared now to that day, It was completely different. I prefer feeling in 1997 because it was so unreal and pieces of stone were scattered everywhere.
I've been there twice, definitely worth it
Welcome to Cambodia 🇰🇭 and thanks for visiting 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you! 😃
I love your video chris. Thanks you for show us I never seen amazing place like this. It doesn't look real . I'm Cambodian but never go to Angkor wat haha because I'm poor
I just finished watching the last video I had left to watch on your channel and just got notification that you uploaded. 👍. I joined your premium membership. Happy to support you bro. Keep doing your thing and God bless.
Wow thank you so much for the support! It truly means the world to me! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos!
Sorry for the late upload, got hit with some pretty bad food poisoning, but now I'm feeling a lot better! Where are you watching from? 🙏🏻☺️
@@Travelwithchris I don’t mind the late upload. I’m a night owl. I’m from NYC. I saw your video when you came here during the pandemic. Things are much better now. You should come again and explore.
@@MatrixDeception722 Thanks a lot! I definitely want to come back soon! If I do in the next few months would love to meet up! I'm visiting India now and the videos will come soon! I'll be sending you a postcard from here soon! 😁
Good ❤❤❤
I just went to Siem Reap and visit Angkor Wat for the last February. And now by watching this video it makes me want to get back there again so badly ! It was such a beautiful city I love Siem Reap !
Thank you for visiting cambodia 🇰🇭🙏
Thanks for watching! I hope to return soon!
@@Travelwithchris thank you so much 🙏
I like that you are positive and bring good energy . Appreciate your personality. Thanks for sharing..
I didn t washed monkis when I went there, all the ruins and temples in Canboya are incredible!
Hi! Watching your video as I prepare for my trip!! You are so awesome! Just want to know how much was the cost of the tuktuk during the Angkor Wat tour? Full day? Thanks!
Beautiful place. Glad you are having the opportunity to visit.👍🏻😃
Thanks so much Maryann! It was truly special!
Have you ever made it here?
No never had the opportunity to go over seas. I have been traveling all over the world since l learned to read as a kid. I have traveled in the US though. Back in the old days we used our imagination and surprisingly it was pretty good whenever TV came out. 🥰
Nice cardio session? 😂
Very!!! Ahaha
Great video thoroughly enjoyed it. Hopefully I will get to visit one day!
Thanks a lot Alan! I hope you get to make it one day! It is worth the trip'
Hay Chris love u r videos happy to. See u back hope u make more videos and waiting to visit india
Thanks so much for the support! India videos coming soon, I hope you get the chance to visit!
@@Travelwithchris thanks Chris
I hope I will meet u soon in India 🇮🇳 Jai Hind
One of the most false part of History ever told is that it was Hindu temple and later converted to Buddhism. Hinduism never reached Cambodia in first place. And Buddhism reached there all the south asian countries be it Vietnam, Thialand, Mynmar, Indonasia, Malaysia are Buddhist countries. There never was any sudden change in religion. All the monuments of Ankor Wat temple are of Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism. Buddha statues, Avloketeshwara statues. I wonder how this piece of history is told wrongfully and everyone utters the same false statements. Ankor Wat never was a hindu temple. Lets spread the truth.
Hey Chris,
JFYI,
Did you know Angkor Wat was built in the times of old Electro tech where they pull free, Aether electricity to use for whatever electric from atmosphere lighting or gadgets they were running?
There used to be such place and diverse buildings and places of worship, ALL AROUND THE WORLD !
The phenomenon is more visible on day with darker clouds in background, where you can see spikes of what looks like static electricity going into those spikes on top of the temple roof like metal rods of different artistic shapes !!
Theres some videos of it on RUclips if you search !!
Good luck 😊😊😊
Great video Chris. I different style than I'm used to watching of yours. We were just there and Angkor Thom and Bayan city was my favorite also but still in awe of Angkor Wat and the size of the complex/moats and how the structures are still so pristine.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you had an amazing trip! I miss Cambodia!
I like the music - it sounded like South American in origin but it somehow feel natural with Angkor Wat background.
❤️🇰🇭❤️🇰🇭❤️🇰🇭❤️🇰🇭❤️🇰🇭❤️🇰🇭❤️🇰🇭❤️
🙏🏻❤️
I like the video, however, I cringe when I hear people mispronounce the word “Angkor”. For real the foreigners are messing the pronunciation of the word... it is pronounced “ongkho”. Ask the locals and they’ll tell you it’s “ongkho” not Angkor or Anchor.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video and we’re going to go Siem reap 30 on October ! Can’t wait!!! It maybe a little silly question but is it possible rent a motor bike to ankor wat??
Yes you can rent a motorbike!! You will have an amazing trip! Should be perfect timing as well! A lot fresher I've heard!
Chris you’re amazing how you explaining things in your video impressive . You will be big one day of course to me you’re already are. Keep it up 👍
Angkor Wat was not built by people of current Cambodian descent.
นี่คือความจริงของเขมรที่ควรรู้ ruclips.net/video/nGerT-No3j8/видео.htmlsi=ltpzxDL7ZJda-sHw
We agree with you! It should be one of the wonders of the world!
We paid for our Tuk Tuk 15USD and we took 3 days pass for 62$ which on one side is a lot of money for Asia, but on the other side it it worth it! You can also buy tickets online on their official site.
We’ve just been to this place a week ago and we absolutely love it! 😍
Yes definitely!!! I'm so glad you had an amazing experience also!!
miss You make video about Cambodia Chris
Consider yourself lucky to be there when the revolting Chinese tour hoards are not. A quite different and more pleasant experience in your case.
I woulda bought a flute Ngl
Yeah those were 🔥
Thanks Chris, it's an awesome experience. We had a guide to show us around and it really is worth it, we found out so much we wouldn't been aware of.
Thanks so much Jamie! Yes that is helpful! I'll definitely be back and get a guide!
Spectacular 🇰🇭 😊
It really is amazing!!!
Excellent content Chris 🙏
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻
If you ever get the chance to go again. Out of all the Apsara dancer on the wall carving. there is only one that shows her teeth.
The connection between the stones are amazing
And I thought angkor wat was a place to go feed the monkeys

Many more Cambodia ancient temple in Thailand or saim, Laos, and Vietnam as splendid and wonder as the one in Cambodia human creation heavenly on earth to the world ... angkor wat is the only temple built face to the west is a death so it is a tomb of the king... have more stones than all pyramids of Egypt combine... in spring equinox March 21,22,23 the sun rises in the middle of the the five towers 12 hours daylight and 12 hours dark nights and fall equinox is September 21,22,23 the same the sun rises in the middle tower of the the five towers.....
Thanks for sharing
$37 entrance fee is expensive!
Yes definitely expensive!
@@Travelwithchris In Thailand it is $18-$20 for entrance fees to all the fun stuff. In the Philippines we pay $13 for the entrance fee to "Manila Ocean Park." It is their version of sea world. I thought somebody said at one point Angkor Wat was up to $45/person. :(
This structure was clearly built by the Anunnaki, not 900 years ago but 19000 years ago before the Younger Dryas which was 13000 years ago, the great flood !
Khmer Empire had fall apart because of the civil war
which occurred after Angkor on the declined , the Empire used to be diverse in languages and ethnicity but share cultures and ruler from Angkor the Angkor ruler appoint their heir to rule the city state and marry local leader around the Empire
but after mysterious crisis, Khmer lost their best scholar in engineering without any successor
which helped contribute a lot in the maintain canal system and farming system to created larges pool of manpower and surplus economics power to build those stone temple
(the flood problem occurred because of this)
the cause of this were expected to be pandemic (ฺBlack Death) which later reach Europe 1347
the Angkor fall in 1431 but believed to on the declined since Black Death times
After that Khmer empire on the declined and no longer had advantage above surround city states
and the Emperor Jayavarman IX had no son and legitimized heir to be successor.
the city state start to revolted against the new King of Khmer which married to Jayavarman IX daughter but has no bloodline to Emperor family
the state of Ayutthaya attacked and sacked Angkor , then established themselves as Successor of Empire
but as no state really has overwhelmed power above other states
Khmer Empire splitted to many states like 7 states
the Khmer ruler of Ayutthaya later assimilated to local people married local power to maintain their power
later Siam(Ayutthaya) state get stronger and stronger as trading Hub of the region they start to conquering the Tai speaking state
around them
and when the Colonial period come, Siam tried their best to revived the Empire
under the same culture but Thai languages as the officials languages but fail to assimilated Laos and Cambodia
today Thailand Cambodia Laos shares a lot of cultures as the remnants of the Empire period.
I have seen the pyramids Machu pichu .. if Angkor wat is not worth visiting no place in the world is.
Exactly!
So cool
Why can't Yanks pronounce Buddha correctly? It's not BOOdha FFS.
It’s not a Hindu Temple, it’s a Khmer Temple built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II dedicated to a Hindu God Vishnu.
then it is hindu temple kid
@@successiongaming7829 It is a Khmer Temple, not a Hindu Temple. The Khmer built it and they can dedicate their temple to any religious in the world, if they wanted it too. First in the past, Khmer dedicated their temple to Hindu God Vishnu and second in present day dedicated their temple to Buddhist Gautama. Clear enough?
Angkor Wat is influenced by the santhan temple architecture of southern India (cholas and palavas)
Latin America they Called " MANILA is CyberPunk City in Asia,'".
Angkor Wat is an ancient monument that was built by one of the most powerful empire at the time - The Khmer Empire. There are no technology, or building machinery. It was built by wisdom, strength, and the hard working hands and sweat of ancient Cambodian people.
Angkor Wat is one of the _Wonders of the World._ A place where one must visit to see the wonders of the amazing temple that was built by humans themselves. Just humans, which in itself is a definite must visit to see how these structures are built. And once visited, one can be proud and say, “Yes, I have visited that place - Angkor Wat.”
Congratulations for capturing this amazing place. Very informative and descriptive narration. You’re a professional! 🏆🍺
Thanks 🙏 for visiting our country Chris
🙏🏻❤️
If you are a CIA operative trainee on puzzle decoding, you could volunteer to be an intern at Angkor to “reassemble” those stones back into standing monuments.
We went there 15 years ago. Hopefully we'll go again before Christmas. Great video.
They got you man, I went in June this year and I realized when you speak Khmer that treat you like a native. They didn’t ask for any pass or have me pay 37$. But tourists I was seeing the people under the umbrella near the bridges collecting money. Siem riep is fun, my uncle brought me to KTV 😂
Great place to be
Yes!!! It is super amazing! I loved it!
English?
It costed 100 plus dollars to visit chichen itza so not bad of a deal for angkor wat
Really?? Maybe with a tour, I remember paying close to $25 about a year ago when I went then we got a guide inside for another $20. We did it super cheap!
I’ve just got a a quick question, how much do you roughly spend in Thailand in a month if you did it on a budget?
To be honest I didn't calculate that accurately, but I think about $1,500 would be perfect.... that is if you find something like $500 a month for accommodation. I eat out a lot and good, plus I love taking taxis everywhere. You can easily live with $800 fine
