Amazing place, and some great B roll. Been there three times and always magical. First time in 2001 and it was really in a "raw" state, and very few visitors. The was pre tomb raider days and it was not yet part of the tourist circuit. Its great to see that over the years they are taking steps to protect and preserve this valuable piece of history and culture. The people of Cambodia are benefiting greatly from it and paying a decent fee is supporting not only the history but also providing economic benefit. Think for a minute that people pay way more than that to go to disneyland, to see fake stuff. LOL.
👏👏👏 great analogy to put things into perspective. I’ve heard more people complain about the ticket fees to the Angkor archeological park than to Disney world. It takes a village to maintain the temples.
That's a really great comparison you made to Disneyland. Phrased that way, it really makes amusement parks (that are much more popular than Angkor Wat) seem so silly and frivolous.
I've been there once and it is truly worth visiting. Those are huge and amazing. Couldn't imagine how people at that time could build these kinds of structures.
Ah man, it's funny you mention this. We went to buy a drone the other day and couldn't find the one we want anywhere! It is definitely o the agenda, we just need to be in the right place at the right time.
I would strongly suggest foreign visitors to have a tourist guide licensed by the Ministry of Tourism to tour them around and elaborate the rich history of the temples as you visit them.
Thanks for sharing your experience, and big thank for your respect to our cultural heritage! Kudo to you both for calling out on those nasty carvings and markings by those inconsiderate people. Have an awesome time in Cambodia!
Ahhh!! such a refreshing vid!! Thank you for showcasing this amazing heritage that somehow for whatever ridiculous reason is still highly, annoyingly underrated. Even as a local who basically visited, lived, learned, and basically memorized all the fascinating facts for the national exam. I still am once in a while in a daze of just how majestic Angkor Wat is. It's one thing realizing that it is very cool and another level of mental stimulation when you actually sit down and try to grasp the image of how it came about. Truly one of my proudest things as a Cambodian
I’m glad you like the temples in Cambodia. I recommend you hire a tour guide, he/she knows where to take you and explain the history of the Cambodian culture. Inside Angkor wat, there’s an area where you can see four of you when you take a picture. I don’t remember where it is. But they know. There’s a lot more temples for you to see, that’s not all we have. I really enjoyed your videos of Cambodia. Be safe and have fun! Thank you for visiting the kingdom of Cambodia!
Fantastic!! We just came back from Ayutthaya and will be in Angkor Wat hopefully in 2 months. Looks amazing and is number 1 on my bucket list for the last 5 years.
The temples looks amazing! Angkor Wat is surely the most iconic one but the others are awesome too! I don't know if I could have gotten up at 3.30 am for the sunrise though 😂
Angkor is what started my love affair with SE Asia, and kicked off my travels through the region. It's a truly magical place. The crowd you experienced was actually tiny; it's usually way, way more crowded (especially with large Chinese tour buses, picture the typical throng as 5-6 times larger). You guys should definitely feel blessed! I cannot wait until I get to go back.
This is very true! We looked at some pre-Covid videos of Angkor Wat and it was packed! Thousands of people at sunrise. Makes that tiny little crowd of 50 people seem so insignificant 😂
I am from Canada Montréal living about 44 years here ,about 2 years more i will take my retire of my job .so i mise too much of my country and see u soon my lovely srockhmer
Great toure! Even me as Cambodian guy I went there many times,but I still megically get lost there.You know,thousands of amasing temples hiding there to discover.Hope you guy someday come to visit a land of wonder.They're waiting to see you.Let's adventure with your love one,you will not regret the moment spent here.
Cheveyo really wants to bring his dad here. It’s a beautiful complex of temples and buildings, one of the most impressive in the world. It deserves to be on the same level as the Pyramids of Egypt.
Very early in Angkor, its so amazing to watch the sun is up..."Ta Prohm", better than Angkor and Bayon... I have another suggestion to you guys that you must visit "Borobudur". But you must wake up around 04:00 am to visit there like many other touristic places...
Cambodia is a magnificent country i will say and i am ashamed i used to be embarrassed about being here, i agree it is very hot here and i absolutely cannot stand the heat in the countryside, though somehow i still manage to wear only sweatshirts and hoodies. Angkor Wat is very nice and i would love to visit it again, but i'm pretty sure i will hate it once i get there because of the heat, because i am in-fact a city boy🧍🏽♀️(i barely even know the language 😭) thanks for visiting though and i'm glad you enjoyed it here! kudos to you for appreciating the beauty of Angkor Wat and not hating it there because of the heat like me 😕💕 i can see that you're having fun while also being respectful :)
Hi Tia and Cheveyo, For supposedly amateurs, you two are doing an amazing job with shooting and editing. I wrote this in a reply. Did you do this? Tia and Cheveyo could have gone back after lunch or, at the very least, in late afternoon, gone to the top of Phnom Bakheng to see the sun set over Angkor Wat. Great experience. This was probably not part of the tuk tuk package they bought at the hotel. They could have rented bicycles or a scooter and explored on their own, with the ability to go back and forth between the temples and the city. Heat and Humidity are intense from now till the start of the rainy season in late May and June. FOR SOME REASON, TH-cam WOULD NOT PUBLISH MY REPLY YO SOMEONE'S COMMENT ABOUT $37 BEING EXPENSIVE. SO, I AM EDITING THIS POST TO INCLUDE IT. It's true that $37 per person is not cheap BUT... $37 is for the one-day pass for the whole Angkor Complex ( 72 major temples within an area of 390 square miles) It is not just the ticket price to see Angkor Wat. Of course, because of the heat and the fatigue, to see the sun rise over Angkor Wat, followed by Bayon, then , in the afternoon, Ta Phrom then the Elephant Terrace in the afternoon and then at 4:45 p.m. climb to the top of Phnom Bakheng to see the sun set over Angkor would be manageable and fairly good value for money, IMHO.
Hey there! Thank you for taking the time to write this out. TH-cam is very wonky with comments at times, sorry yours was deleted. Everything you said about Angkor Wat is spot on. We wholly agree that the cost is worth it. There are a huge number of temples to see. We spent a little under 10 hours exploring them and still only saw a fraction. Next time, we'll likely get the three day pass because going into it, we had no idea it was such a massive complex.
Thanks for your value times visiting our country and also thanks for capture those amazing kind of things during your visiting share to people around the world via TH-cam videos, Hope you enjoy your trip and stay safe.
Agreed. One of the great achievements of the ancient world and... someone thought carving their name into it was a good idea. What could possibly be going through that person's head?
I love videos like this. I'm Cambodian American, born & raised in California. I've never been to Cambodia. My dad just got back from Siem Reap. He goes back & forth. I need to visit 🇰🇭 ❤️
I see why that last temple inspired the Tomb Raider movies, I'd love to see it! I can't believe you were already that hot at Angkor Wat in the morning, when you're used to Thailand weather. I looked it up online and the humidity in the Siem Reap area is ~10% higher than Chiang Mai, so that must be the difference. 🥵
Angkor Wat is totally amazing and it’s way more larger than you think. You guys are lucky that the tourists hasn’t returned in force yet. Enjoy! However, Phnom Penh will disappoint you for sure!
Thank for visiting our country. You guys are such the best vlogger ever. By the way, she’s so beautiful tho. Her smile is everything. Kinda jealous of this guy.
Rouge throughout the country. Comment by Elmira Favela The ancient Khmer people were slaves of Siam(Thai) throughout the 400-year period under the rule of Siam. And fully received the culture from Siam and another thing, the current Khmer people including the Khmer scholars themselves will rewrite their own history. Because most knowledgeable Khmer people, 99% in the country, have all been killed since the Khmer Rouge era, genocide. There were more than 3 million deaths in that era being killed If those people were alive today they should be about 40 years old or older, so the new generation and the current Khmer people don't know the history of their own nation well enough. And it will also refer to the Cambodian educational system that is not well developed. Because knowledgeable Khmer people have been killed by the Khmer Rouge throughout the country.
Thank you! Ultimately we decided against the bamboo train because, looking at pictures and reading about it, it seems likely that it would end up causing unneeded strain on Tia back. Looks like the beer has dodged inflation! 😂🤣

Well-said!
The best couple ever, They're both happy together and having a good time at Angkor Wat, Thanks! you guy for sharing this VD
🙂😊
Thank you for your coming to visit Angkor Wat.
I've been there once and it is truly worth visiting. Those are huge and amazing. Couldn't imagine how people at that time could build these kinds of structures.
Agreed. It's on the same level as the Pyramids of Giza, I think. Just incredible to think how people built them with no modern machinery at all.
Excellent informative video. Cathy and Kevs x
Thank you both 🙂🙏🏼
Tia and Cheveyo
Got recommended this video today, loved it. Love Angkor Wat. Amazing video!
Enjoy your vids 😁 thanks for visit Angkor Wat 🇰🇭
i think you guys need to invest in a drone to capture all the amazing places that you guys have visted
Ah man, it's funny you mention this. We went to buy a drone the other day and couldn't find the one we want anywhere! It is definitely o the agenda, we just need to be in the right place at the right time.
You should hire a tour guide!!
I would strongly suggest foreign visitors to have a tourist guide licensed by the Ministry of Tourism to tour them around and elaborate the rich history of the temples as you visit them.
Indeed, I'm sure this would've been beneficial.
Nice video😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Angkor Wat looks so MAGICAL!! The ancient places always have the spiritual energy.
9:18 That monkey’s sit is EPIC!! Cute.
I am really happy to see you guys having amazing trip to this ancient city. 🇰🇭❤️
It's really beautiful😍😍
It's Khmer New Year here and this video just came on my recommendation 🙏😩 (should try to visit during festivals as it will not be quite 😉)
I have been to 40 countries and the ruins in Angkor are the most interesting I have seen anywhere imho!!! Happy Travels
Me too, I feel the same.
Oh definitely up there for us as well. Probably tied with the Acropolis in Athens.
2:05 to 2:11 is beautiful and amazing
I'm Cambodian and also living in Siem Reap, but I amazed every time I visit Angkor Wat. I always feeling fresh when I was there.
im in phnom penh
Im also cambodian
Ok I'm in Kandal
Thanks for sharing your experience, and big thank for your respect to our cultural heritage! Kudo to you both for calling out on those nasty carvings and markings by those inconsiderate people. Have an awesome time in Cambodia!
Loved in Cambodia for 11 years, been to Angkor Wat many times, great place!

Truly one of my proudest things as a Cambodian
Agreed with everything you said. Angkor Wat should be be as famous as Egypt's Pyramids, but it somehow isn't.
You guys are there at the wrong time of month. Should be there now 4/14-4/16 our Cambodian New Year! Think you would love it.
I'm so delighted after watching your vdo. Thanks. My Hometown, Cambodia❤🇰🇭
I'm Cambodian myself and has never been to Angkor Wat, thank you for this beautiful video
me too 😅
Be careful when shopping in my country, I may have sellers who sell more expensive items than the general public 👉💡
It is an amazing place on earth; I always got goosebump on my skin every time I see this magnificence temple.
I’m glad you like the temples in Cambodia. I recommend you hire a tour guide, he/she knows where to take you and explain the history of the Cambodian culture.

Fantastic!! We just came back from Ayutthaya and will be in Angkor Wat hopefully in 2 months. Looks amazing and is number 1 on my bucket list for the last 5 years.
You won't regret it! Angkor Wat has a very different vibe and style compared to Ayutthaya.
@@OnePackWanderers awesome thank you so much for the reply!!
Welcome To Cambodia Angkor Wat Temple😍😍😍
Welcome to Cambodia 🇰🇭❤️
Glad that you chose the right time to visit Angkor Wat. Hope you had a great time in Cambodia 🇰🇭
It's takes a whole week to explore everything in Angkor wat.
The temples looks amazing! Angkor Wat is surely the most iconic one but the others are awesome too! I don't know if I could have gotten up at 3.30 am for the sunrise though 😂
Yes not only Angkor wat temple in our country have a lot of temple
Hello guys.I am Cambodian .Thank you for your visiting my country and ancient temples in Siem Reap province
You have an absolutely beautiful country 😊
@@OnePackWanderers Yeah,I hope next time you would come again with a lot of more friends .
Amazing really love it, love your videos, it’s amazing, incredible.

Chinese tourists are very annoying, loud, no manners, they spit regularly and constantly take selfies
Welcome to Cambodia, thank you for visiting my country

Cheveyo really wants to bring his dad here. It’s a beautiful complex of temples and buildings, one of the most impressive in the world. It deserves to be on the same level as the Pyramids of Egypt.
Wow what an amazing place, your movie catches how special the place is. Thank you so much 😀

Before my dad passed away. I always had a plan for family trip to Angkor Wat. But now hmm i got to promise to my dad, i will take my mom there asap
I’m sure that would mean a lot to your mom 😊

@@OnePackWanderers i very much agree ! :)
Warmly welcome to Cambodia. Thanks for the great video sharing with us.

Amazing ancient building, I love Angkor wat
Angkor is the best place ever
Watch your video, I'm so proud that u have good advice what should do or not cause it human heritage side of the world 💖
Yea, defacing priceless pieces of human history like that is just shameful. We don't really get angry over much but doing that isn't cool.
CAMBODIA ANGKOR WAT , Welcome For The World People! Thanks!
I hate some of these people that wrote their name on Angkor wat temple they just .... Ugh
Agreed. One of the great achievements of the ancient world and... someone thought carving their name into it was a good idea. What could possibly be going through that person's head?
Great to have you guys in our country, enjoy your stay ❤️
Wow wonderful place , I wanna visit once in my life

It is an incredible place! It deserves the same kind of fame that the Pyramids of Egypt have.
@@OnePackWanderers built by tamilans
Of course it's worth the hype. Nothing like it in the world. It's heaven on earth.
Wonderful place
DO NOT MISS THE PHARE CIRCUS!!!! They were one of the best highlights of our trip besides the temples. =)
Thank you for the tip 🙂
Great video of your great trip! 👍
I see why that last temple inspired the Tomb Raider movies, I'd love to see it! I can't believe you were already that hot at Angkor Wat in the morning, when you're used to Thailand weather. I looked it up online and the humidity in the Siem Reap area is ~10% higher than Chiang Mai, so that must be the difference. 🥵
It certainly seemed to make a difference! We were sweating before the sun came up.
Also there was no wind at all.
I must say it’s worth it 😉
Angkor Wat is totally amazing and it’s way more larger than you think. You guys are lucky that the tourists hasn’t returned in force yet. Enjoy! However, Phnom Penh will disappoint you for sure!
Very fortunate to visit during this time, when so many of the temples are empty.
Hopefully Phnom Penh is good to us 🙏🏼
Wow 🤩 very very wonderful Vlog ! Your Camera is so clear !! Welcome to Angkor wat 😊
Best temples !! We so loved going there
Thank for visiting our country. You guys are such the best vlogger ever.
By the way, she’s so beautiful tho. Her smile is everything. Kinda jealous of this guy.
Incredible temple tour!
Great job guys, love your touring video of Cambodia Angkor Temples ✍️👍🇰🇭
It's such an amazing place to visit. Been once but will return again. Great video...😁😁😁
It is a special place, no doubt about it 🙂

Are you planning on riding on a bamboo train?
Oh and the beer was 50 cents 13 years ago 😀
