Angkor Wat Small Circuit Tour

PRASAT ANGKOR WAT is the largest and most famous Khmer temple, built in the 12th century, between 1113 -1150, during the reign of Suryavarman II. Standing 65 meters high, the temple is surrounded by a large moat [Ko Tek]. The exterior and interior walls are covered with amazing base-reliefs.

PRASAT BAYON or ANGKOR THOM is a Buddhist style temple built in late 12th/early 13th century by Jayavarnam VII. Bayon has 54 towers representing the 54 provinces before and during the Khmer empire. There are over 200 smiling faces carved on the 54 towers. Bayon was a thriving capital but unfortunately was damaged in 1811 by Cham invaders.

Chau Say Tevoda is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia. It is just east of Angkor Thom, directly south of  Thommanon across the Victory Way. Built in the mid-12th century, it is a Hindu temple in the Angkor Wat period. It is dedicated to Shiva and Vishnu with unique types of female sculptures of devatas enshrined in it.

PRASAT TA PROMH, built in late 12th century by Jayavarman VII was dedicated in 1186 to his mother. Originally this temple had a Buddhist background but later was converted to Hindu so some Buddhist galleries were destroyed and replaced by Hindu symbols such as Yoni and Lingam. Its location is 1.5kms from Bayon through the Victory Gate. Ta Promh is famous for the trees (called “Spung”) growing strongly up, on and over the sandstone block walls.

After finishing, head to a local restaurant.  You can tell your guide whether you prefer a local or western style restaurant. From the restaurant, head back to your hotel to relax after your busy day exploring the temples.
