Best Tips for Visiting Angkor Wat | Siem Reap, Cambodia - How to Beat The Crowds
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- After a week of exploring Siem Reap, Cambodia, these are my best tips for visiting Angkor Wat and the nearby temples.I really wish I knew these things before visiting Angkor Wat, so I've put together this video to help your trip become as amazing as possible!
As I say in the video, the best time to visit the temples in Siem Reap is early in the morning. It is colder, and less crowded. However, a lot of other people also get up early, so you better structure your route in a way opposite of the crowds. I'll also show you how you get to see the main Angkor Wat temple without the crowds.
Here are my suggested routs:
1. Start with the gates of Angkor Thom at 7am, then go to Bayon at 7:30, then to the nearby temples after that.
2. Start with Angkor Wat at sunrise, but go to the East end of the temple (everyone else are at the West side of Angkor Wat. After Angkor Wat, quickly go to Ta Phrom, and the nearby temples.
3. Start with Pra Roup at 6:45ish, then head to Ta Som at 7:30. After that, go south to Bantay Kedei and the nearby temples.
I'm really happy so see so many of you are enjoying my tips for visiting Angkor Wat. It's such an incredible place, and the experience gets all that much better when you beat the crowds 😊

Thanks for the tips! Love the suggestions.
My tip is to go around noon, yes it's hot but drink plenty of water and seek regular shade. I hired a bike from the hotel and found I was there TOTALLY ALONE.
I'm went this Temple 3times.my friend kalki.&sowdarya..me... very nice.....

Hi,
Thank you for you Amazing video and your tips. We'll be at Phnom-Penh on 18th octobre till 9 novembre 2022, with my baby girl (14 y.o.) We will visit Angkor Wat and all the others temples top, trying to follow your tips. If you have more tips for this country, I'll be glad to watch or read them. Thank you again. My baby wish to visit the Vietnam's jungle, and I'm still trying to found out a way to do it too. Thank you so much 🤗💐
Hello from Cambodia🇰🇭Thank Your For Come and Visit cambodia🇰🇭❤️

Hi! We actually did this. We followed this instruction, and nailed it! We were ahead the crowds, and mannaged to see the best ones, and chill at the pool for the rest of the day.
We saw the sunrise at Angkor Wat, took some amazing photos, and then continued our way, without visiting Angkor Wat (we did this last) to the next ones, so when we were leaving, part of the groups were arriving. And so on. Also, good recommendations. I liked Bayon the most. Ta Som is also amazing.
So, thank you, and keep posting! 😜
hi can I ask for your route as I just have 1 day in Siem Reap ^^ thank you
Good comments. I first went to Angkor in 2010. I was with a Thai mate, and, unfortunately , we only did 5 temples in three days. I have been back on a number of occasions, but, travel on my own.. I will go back in 2020, but, for 5 or 6 days. Back in 2011, I did a day trip to Beng Mealea. That's an amazing place. I went there by tuk tuk as well.
Yes, it's a good idea to visit the temples in reverse from what other people do.
Thanks you so much for share Angkor wat to another people konw.អរគុណ
Thanks for watching!
Thank q for visit my country 🙏🙏
Going there this end of the month, this really helps!
Whoa! I was there in 2003, and we virtually had the temples to ourselves. So much gratitude for having that opportunity before the tourist explosion. Great video.
Was there in 1996 - even the main walkway to Angkor Wat was empty at 2pm in the afternoon. Virtually nobody anywhere back then.
Social media attracts tons of people there.
We've been to Siem Reap 3 times and can honestly say these are truly excellent tips. Refreshing to get good information out of a youtube vlog.
This vid. gives great advice, especially about being respectful. I lived in SR for 12 years and it has changed a lot. In July 2001, when I first went to Angkor, there were 5 people in the temple. It's very difficult to have that kind of experience now, so advice like Simen's is invaluable.
Thanks for your comment. Glad you liked it!
Planning my one-day visit to Angkor Wat (can't afford 3 days) and this video was really helpful. I'll try to explore the Angkor Wat while people are looking at the sunset, then Bayon, then some of the temples to the north. Thanks a lot!
Welcome to Kingdom of Cambodia
And Thank you for your coming
Thanks for this...we took your advice and managed to do the tour in reverse. We had Ta Phrom virtually to ourselves. Incredible experience.
Awesome! Happy to hear that
Hey I from Cambodia I love your video❤ 🇰🇭🙏🏻
Thank for visiting Cambodia i hope you enjoy your day.
From Cambodia...❤❤
Welcome to Cambodia🇰🇭🇰🇭
Thanks brother
This is the best cambodia travel tip video I've seen so far
Thank you 🙏🙏
Simen, thank you so much. Your tips were SPOT ON!!!
My wife and I went to Siem Reap in the beginning of January. It was amazing. I made a 3 day temple plan based on Simen's recommendations. We deviated from the plan on day 2 and hired a guide and went for the sunrise photo at Ankgor Wat. That day was not fun! Our guide was terrible, the crowds were thick, but we got some good pictures. The biggest let down was that when we went into Ankgor the crowds were already there.
The best time to take pictures for us was early morning and late afternoon. The lighting was incredible. Mid-morning to mid-afternoon the light was too harsh.
We did not rent a motorbike. We paid a tuktuk driver $20 for the day and he took us around. I would have preferred to rent a bike, but we heard varying stories that they don't allow it and if you do, you have to leave your passport with the rental agency.
Follow Simen's suggestions...you won't regret it! Visit the Women's Temple...it was one of our favorites!
Wow, that's amazing to hear!! So happy to hear you had a great time. I agree with you, the light in the morning was absolutely incredible.
Thanks lot for your comment!
Thank you for your tips too 💐

Amazing and helpful tips! Thanks so much. I have my motorcycle license in my country yet I never even considered the idea of renting a bike and mapping your own path. I know the complex is MASSIVE! So this idea appeals to me more than tuk tuk or hired car. Thank you!
Awesome! Hope you had a great trip!
OMG,you just saved me a whole lot of time and money!!
Heading to Siam Reap tomorrow and this is the exact video I've been needing to see, so thanks for taking the time to do this mate, got yourself another subscriber :)
thank you so much, i can't wait to go!
These tips sound great! Grateful to Simen for these thoughtful pointers as I prep for my trip!
Very good and clear description ,thanks mike, keep up the good work
Great tips, thank you. We are here at the moment and our best tip is to go to Ta Phrom around lunch time. It will still be busy, but a lot of tour bus crowds leave at noon so you get a more enjoyable experience if you are there at about 11:45 am. :)
So nice of you to do this! Thank you!!
I miss this amazing place 😍😍😍 Wanna visit again someday and explore the other temples that I have not visited
Thank you from Cambodia
