By far your videos are the best I've seen on Angkor Wat. The hushed awe in your voices is a perfect addition to the awesomeness
Wow, thank you. That is a huge compliment as there are so many out there. We just wanted to bring everyone along instead of just giving the highlights. It's an adventure and not just a sight to see.
When you sense the greatness of the temple, it means you're spiritually connected with the builders from the past. Essentially, you're feeling their energy in that space...
Wow. That is a really powerful thought. We like that and definitely felt connected with a strong feeling of awe. Thank you!
To think those temples were carved only by hand and primitive tools is mind blowing. 😊
Piece by piece and sometimes hanging from steep edges. It blows our minds too.a can't believe we had this honor.
dedicated work. you got there early and got us shots without crowds in it, captured it so well, long enough pauses to enjoy the details but never lingering too long, your editing and filming is very captivating. makes it not vacation footage but a way higher level , this is a film. very well done ! A+
Wow, thank you so much. Our hope is for our vids to feel like an adventure without actually being there. That made us feel really good to hear. Thanks again!
Ankor Wat! What!?! at every turn. Like Charlie, I love photography. I used my old Minolta XLR camera until I could no longer find a place to develop. I haven't had the money for a digital. Someday. I will keep praying. The really nice thing about photographing places like Ankor Wat, is all the fine details you may not have seen initially. You cannot stand for hours looking at every little shadow or speck of light, eventually they will run you out. But a photograph allows you to see, even if it is years later. I almost missed the face in upper stage right of the doorway @ 11:48, looking down to the entrance. These people were amazing. Not only the workmanship, but the pride they took in their art. So very beautiful now, but can you imagine how magnificent the structures looked in the days they lived in the area. Thank you both for your continued sharing of these amazing places that I will most likely ever step foot near.
May God continue to bless you with peace in your journey, and peace in Jesus!
Thank you so much. Charlie started with a love of photography over a decade ago and now he forgets sometimes to pick up the "big camera" because we do so much filming now. Magic always happens when he does grab it though. So glad he did here. The details captured are just so fascinating to look at again and again. He says "thank you" too.
Great music. It fits the scenery. Another great piece.
Thank you. Charlie spends a lot of time choosing the right music for our vids. He has a good sense for it.
As one of the khmer people, I went to visit so many times. But I never got into detail like you guys had in this video. This is the best video I ever watch showing all in details. I need to go back and take my time to see all these temples. Thank you so much
Wow! Thank you for that very nice compliment. We want to go back again too. There is just so much to see. Another video is posting soon.
Wow...I don't have to be there to admire the awesomeness of our ancient temple. Thank you for your amazing video, and I am thankful that we have stll have milllions of tourist flock to visit these temples. Thank you.....
Thank you for watching. It is definitely an incredible place. Cambodia truly has something spectacular here.
I can imagine what it was like 900 years ago. The trees growing on the ruins & becoming a part of them shows life will always find a way. I wonder how long it took before people quit living there, I can imagine many moved to where they could find work etc. and maintaining this place got too much before it was abandoned. Thanks so much for this particular adventure!
It's all such a mystery. Wish the time machine would be invented soon. What the heck was it like? Where did they go? How did they do this?....
This is the best video yet. Well done 👍 Love watching it 🎉
Thank you so much. We just dropped another episode. Hope you like it!
Watch it, see it, pause, reflect, look at it again,...what a great video maker you are. Thank you both very much, you taught me how to appreciate the beauty of Angkor much more than before. Have a great stay full of joy in the kingdom Sir, Madame.
Thank you so much. We couldn't contain all the awe. The place is magical. Thank you for watching and being so kind.
❤❤❤ thank you for sharing your experiences. Looking forward to watching soon. 😊🎉🎉🎉
#3 is coming soon. Hope you feel like you're there with us. It was quite an experience we won't forget.
@@TheAdventureCloset I definitely felt like I was there. Just missing the smellavision. Incredible place and so magical
You guysssss this is my #1 bucket list spot! I just love love love that you get to travel and see these places! Big X's and O's.
We hope you make it there. We both agree it is the coolest place we have ever been. We feel really lucky and dumbfounded as to how we even got here. Thank you so much for watching.
Magical Indeed! Thank you for sharing the second part. I think your traveling videos capturing Angkor Wat is the best one so far. I hear Koh Rong Beach is an amazing and beautiful beach to explore. I just thought I mention it in case you guys are interested. You two are so adorable! Keep traveling and exploring. GOD Bless the both of you! 🥰
Awe! Thank you so much. We're already gone from the area, but we'll be back. We need to see more. Cambodia is a treasure.
Part two was every bit as good as part one. The detail on the carvings was absolutely amazing as were the crazy trees. Can you even imagine what it looked like when it was newly built? You made another excellent video of an extraordinary place.
The imagination just ran crazy here and the trees were something out of a fairytale. Wish we could have seen it brand new too. Just the statues that were pillaged must be the best of the best after seeing what was left behind. Thanks again. We are enjoying putting this series together. One more to go!
Love love what ya'll doing.😍🇰🇭🇺🇸 Thank you for sharing my homeland, the most magnificent temples on earth are in Cambodia 🇰🇭 😍 I'm going soon, I can't wait to explore my homeland. ❤️
We already want to go back. You come from a beautiful country and Angkor is the greatest place we have ever been. Enjoy your time at home. Thank you so much for watching. We have another episode coming in a few days.
Both of these videos are amazing. Looking forward to the third. Pro level tip: if you follow the drums near the ancient temple and find a board game remember…when you move your piece to the last square call out “ JUMANJI!” You’re welcome.
This is why we choose you in our zombie /jumanji apacolypse plan.
Thank you!
Isn’t it amazing how the jungle tries to reclaim the land? All of the trees growing around, on top and through the ruins was mind numbing…..can you imagine exploring this place with only a few people around? That’s how it was 12 years ago but now there are so many tourists visiting☹️…great video guys👍🏼
You got so lucky seeing it when you did. Still amazing though. We just dodged people and it led us to cool places. Amazing isn't even a good enough word to describe the place.
Amazing shots of all that beauty! ❤❤❤ I love the trees, especially the twisty ones, and the ones with roots covering temples!
I imagine you feel incredible awe being there. Even the chickens are extra beautiful.
And OMG, you HAVE to make a large sized photo out of that gorgeous shot Charlie took of that incredible tree on the temple reaching up into the clouds like that-that’s a prize winner right there. 🏆 Maybe you could sell prints?
You all are SO lucky to be there! (I love the slo motion effects added in to the videos! Such great filming!)
Thank you. Thinking some prints might have to happen when we get home. We appreciate the compliments on the filming too. Slow mo has been something we've been playing with more and more. So it is awesome you noticed. ❤️
This Angkor series is amazing, it look like you are on the time traveling back to the past xD… can’t wait to see next..
If only we had a time machine to see the place alive with Khmer people. This place is pure magic. Thanks for watching and enjoying the adventure. More to come!
OMG!!! Part 2! I've literally been on the edge of my seat for days, waiting for this! And it didn't disappoint! The beauty and the reverence and majesty of these temples are just so amazing! And those trees, growing up and over the buildings is just a hint at why this vast temple complex was hidden for so long! The jungle literally swallowed it up and you could have just flown right over it and never knew it was there! And that they left some of the old trees , who's root structure is the only thing that's holding whole sections together! So freaking cool! And Charlie, your photography of it is magnificent! I can understand the loss for words to explain the grandeur that is Angkor Wat! It really defies all expectations! I wish so bad I could have seen it when it was newly completed! My, but that must have been mind bogglingly beautiful! Other worldly! And I know it's hot and to even just walk around with a camera or even just your phone is daunting in that oppressive heat, but thank you from the bottom of my heart! I will never be able to visit it on my own I could never handle the amount of walking and steps up and down in each temple and can't do it in my walker or a wheelchair, so your intimate view of the magnificent buildings, is as close as I will ever get to seeing the phenomenal enormity that is Angkor Wat ❣️
Those elephant carvings in that skinny hallway were ginormous and so wonderful! Every single carving is a little bit different than the one next to it. They don't just repeat the figure like many civilizations in history did. No, their carvings are just a bit different, each one, from another carving there! It may just be the clothing the person is wearing, or an item they are holding that separates them from any other, but it's there! And when every single surface of every single building is carved, it really is just mind boggling! I'm in awe of the skill of the artistry and skill that the temple builders possessed! It would have been so easy to repeat figures throughout the temples and it probably would have been expected! With that amount of carving, who would blame them!?! But wow! I looked for repeats as you panned through the carved walls. And I saw many similarities but not a repeat of the exact same figure, did I see! Amazing!
This has been just mind blowing! All of it so far! I will never forget this! I'm just sure you won't either! Thank you so much Liz and Charlie ❣️😮💕🙏❤️🎉❣️
The creative freedom was so apparent there. We were doing the same too... just looking for all the differences. Next time we might get a guide to point out the theoretical meanings of some of the scenes, but coming up with our own was fun too. Nobody really knows for sure. It's just one big amazing mystery. Thank you for your infectious excitement. One more coming up! 🇰🇭❤️🇰🇭
@@TheAdventureCloset I can't wait! The whole series is being saved so I can watch it all together anytime! Thanks❣️
Wow! I wish it was quiet like that when I was there but it was crowded to the point I couldn’t even take a good picture or check out all the details. Sounds so peaceful and looks amazing! Thanks for sharing
We were doing our best to avoid the crowds. It was tough, but glad we had some success. The surrounding jungle and sounds were unreal. Hope you get to go again.
I didn’t know these places existed. Thanks for opening us to other places for our personal expansion.
You're so welcome. It was quite amazing exploring as much of it as we could. Wish we had seen more
Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks friend!
Wow very beautiful 💗
I like this video. Thanks you ❤
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. This was the most amazing place. We made 2 other videos here too.
Thank you for taking us along. Those trees were something else. It made me think of an octopus taking over the building. I know 😂😂
It’s amazing how they carve all those figures right into the stone. ❤️
So cool! It really was like that, but to think of all the time it took for them to grow too. Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it.
imagine being a king and queen in the 13 century and seeing the kingdom in the shape that you are in! the kingdom seeking for your love
Our imaginations were running wild here. So much had to of happened here that would have made great stories for the history books.
I love the elephants ❤️
Amazing. Such a massive complex of buildings and temples. There must have been some significant wealth to build all of these structures over the years the city was inhabited. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Mysteries abound here. Wish those walls could talk. Thank you so much for "coming along".
part 2 !!
Yeah buddy!
Speechless! wish I can travel back to see my ancestors civilization. Thank you for visiting ''The Kingdom of Wonder '' ❤HomeSweetHomeCambodia💝
Our pleasure! We are so glad we could honor your country with these videos. What a magical place! ❤️🇰🇭❤️
Thank you for the upload
Thank you for coming along for the adventure. Another is posting soon.
Beautiful video🥰🥰 travel back in time
Thank you so much. It felt like it for sure.
Wow those trees that grab onto the temple and go on up are way cool ! I actually watch videos of the monkeys in this part of the world. It is amazing to see how they survive and have their baby's. I can't even believe such a beautiful place like this exists. The work involved in the one with all the heads, crazy amazing ! All the arched doorways are so tall. I said this in the last video but I can't help to think the people back then were giants. Thank you for the awesome video !!
You know even in other areas of SE Asia we've encountered giant steps. These are small people that live here now. You got a good theory. Giants could do all that heavy lifting too. Lol! We love the story of the giants in the Lovelock cave in Nevada. Anything is possible and we won't know until someone makes a dang time machine.
This video is somehow better than the last video of Angkor Wat! I really liked how you switched the view at 36:00 and the music. It was edited so well! Just a great touch, Charlie! Can you imagine playing hide n seek there? At night! I loved seeing that epic tree coming out of the temple. The gate of the dead, how cool?!! I bet it really is much better having a temple to explore yourselves versus with so many other sightseers around. It's just so fascinating to see all the carvings and slightly different styles of carving. All we can do is imagine what it must have been like inside the legendary city. But, the carvings give us a little glimpse. The person hanging from the elephant tusk was just so neat! You two are doing such a fantastic job of taking us along and narrating and sharing some truly epic camera views. 👍👍 way up for both of you making this incredible Angkor Wat series 👏 🙌 🫶
Thanks Shawn. We really wish we could have spent even more time filming and even editing. This place is just impossible to do any justice. Keep it on your bucket list though. Hide and seek would be so epic there. LOL! Or a creepy ghost walk through at night with flashlights. The place gets your imagination going. Hope you like #3 too!
Welcome to my country!!! I was there a few weeks ago! Just got back to the states
Thank you. This place is imprinted on our hearts forever.
Amazing trees/pics.
Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Just wanted to add a note, after seeing the landmine survivors playing for everyone. If you haven't seen it yet, do a search on TH-cam about the giant Rats they train to sniff out the landmines. It is awesome. Safe for the Rats, which are loved by their handlers.
That sounds totally fascinating. We will look that up. Thanks!
❤loved your videos ❤ amazing Angkor temples
Glad you like them! Thank you for letting us know.
This series has been amazing to watch so far ( I know we are behind 🙃) The carvings of the people are incredible, Like snowflakes, they are all so different when you really look at them and all of their details. Just wow.
Thanks again guys. We are behind too. Traveling days have been crazy this week. Hope you guys are doing good and building excitement for the move.
@@TheAdventureCloset we are good and starting to pack up 🤗
Beautiful video🥰🥰
We appreciate that! Thanks again.
Fell like am watching a movie support from Seattle Washington
Hey there! Thank you. We are from Darrington, Washington.

20:47 The Fruit is called "Star Apple"
It not star apple
It was tasty!
traveling back to the 13 century
❤️🇰🇭
I've only watched your first video so far.
Hope you also visited Banteay Srei temple, for the most amazing stone carving ever.
That one is coming up in the next 12 hours. Hope you enjoy it. We were blown away. Thank you for watching.
Happy You got to see it. I've been there a couple of times, and will soon be back!
Ratanakiri province is a magical place as well. Loads of different ethnicities and cultures. Some of their cemeteries are mindboggling.
The fruit is call Milk Fruit in English
We haven't seen them since and they were great. Thank you!
Those are star apple fruit. Aka in khmer it is call (Plae-thuk-dos-koo)
Oh ok! They were delicious and so kind of the nice lady to let us experience that. Cambodians are so friendly and generous.
You are at an ancient Khmer Royal courtyard
How lucky we were to be able to see it too and be able to share. Thank you for watching.
Thats crazy the number of temples they have , they must have just built temples for thousands of years , what do you do im a temple builder oh me too , and those trees growing in them nuts , thanks
Right? And how long did just one block take to carve or even just place. Crazy business all around!
Bring out your Indiana Jones… great experience
We were feeling Indiana Jones vibes for sure! Haha! Such a cool place for the imagination to come alive.
It is called milk apple
Interesting. It was so delicious and generous of that Khmer lady to share. Thank you.
That last tree: looks like a bride.
The trees were some of the best parts of these ruins. Gotta scroll through to see if we can see it. Thanks for watching!
💚💚💚
🇰🇭❤️🇰🇭
It looks like an Indiana Jones set!
It felt like it too! Haha!
How long do u been there
At this point it was around 3 weeks.
Again, so many faces and each unique - just like you and I. You can’t help but assume they were of real people. What? The whole community?
You could really tell the artistry was done with such care. Almost like portraits of real people like you say. Yes, the whole community just disappeared and the ruins were discovered in the 1800s by a French guy.
