Following this mesmerizing experience, delve further into the exploration of the Angkor Wat complex. Subsequently, return to the hotel for a hearty breakfast before continuing your excursion to explore the UNESCO World Heritage site of the ancient Angkor city.

Angkor Thom, the capital city of the Khmer Empire, stands as a remarkable testament to extraordinary genius. This city, a grand materialization of Buddhist cosmology and it was built in the 12th century under the reign of the greatest Khmer King Jayavarman 7th and it is surrounded by a wall which is 3 kilometer each side and five big gates.

Known as South Gate of Angkor Thom and it’s the main gate to enter the Angkor Thom City, built in the late 12th-century in Bayon style, this is the most famous and best preserved of the major city gates into the Angkor Thom from Angkor Wat Temple and it is very popular with most visitor to stop taking pictures before entering the city.

The Bayon temple, constructed about 100 years after Angkor Wat, has an uncertain early history as part of a royal city. Initially resembling a temple-mountain representing Mount Meru, it underwent expansions in subsequent phases. Today's Bayon, in its final phase, showcases grandeur through architectural scale and composition. Over 200 large faces with slightly smiling lips and downcast eyes, believed to depict Avalokitesvara and symbolize the king's omnipresence, adorn the 54 towers, defining the temple's majestic character. This iconic Smile of Angkor is characterized by broad foreheads, downcast eyes, flared nostrils, and subtly upturned lips.

Ta Prohm is the undisputed capital of the kingdom of the Trees. It has been left untouched by archaeologists except for the clearing of a path for visitors and structural strengthening to stave of further deterioration. Because of its natural state, it is possible to experience at this temple the wonder of the early explorers when they came upon these monuments in the middle of the nineteenth century. Shrouded in dense jungle the temple of Ta Prohm is ethereal in aspect and conjures up a romantic aura. Fig, banyan and kapok trees spread their gigantic roots over stones, probing walls and terraces apart, as their branches and leaves intertwine to form a roof over the structures. Trunks of trees twist amongst stone pillars. The strange, haunted charm of the place entwines itself about you as you go, as inescapably as the roots have wound themselves about the walls and towers.

After the tour, we will transfer you to Pattaya in Thailand via the Poipet border. Please note that you must have a valid Thai visa for those nation who required. Cross the border independently, and our team will pick you up on the Thai side to take you to your hotel in Pattaya, Thailand.
