ANGKOR WAT - Is it worth it? - Guide to Angkor Wat, Cambodia 🇰🇭

[@louml6233]

After the war ended, I moved to Siemp Reap. Back then, Angkor Wat was deserted, barely anyone there. I was there alone someday, I could almost do whatever I want back then because no one took charge of the building. At noon time, I took a nap inside Angkor Wat because it was cooler. I could smell bat, smell the building. I was lucky and unlucky the same time. I had a chance to explore the entire Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom. There was a deep hole in the middle of Angkor Wat. I wish I could have a flashlight to see how deep and to see what was in there. I am now in America and never went back since I left the country. I have a lot of stories about Siem Reap and Angkor Wat which I don't want to share.

[@sroymoeun]

OMG I am a siem reaper and I have never heard of that hole. Interesting 🤔 I am trying to learn the history and the real stories behind these temple and your story is very unique.

[@MJWINNER_Sketchbook999]

Wow I live in England UK and something is drawing me to go there. I have had spiritual experiences nobody will believe. I am glad I didn't do a PHD because I may let a few secrets and go missing.

[@Kosalsom]

Great sharing, love from Cambodia 🇰🇭

[@CambodiaNomadTips]

Angkor Wat is definitely the best place to visit in Cambodia. If you live here for two years, it's FREE! Wonder where you are now, as you mentioned that it was two days before Valentine's Day. Safe travels 😎😎

[@sineadryan4424]

Note to self: Get tuk tuk between temples for breeze 4 temples = 6hrs Angkor watt at sunrise - get there early Ta Prohm Temple - tree in middle, tomb raider

[@suayhughes8103]

Amazing. Another great video!

[@Joelfriend]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ahmedsidique4089]

Great video! I really enjoyed your tour and commentary of the sites. If I could make one critique, the clips of the sites/buildings are too short. You showed the "landscape" shot of the buildings only for one or two seconds. This is my first time seeing these places and it would be appreciated to have a few more seconds to "drink in" the scenery that you are experiencing. Otherwise, I enjoyed this video. I wish you the best on your travels together. I will be watching more. Thank you.

[@TravellingNowhereFast]

I love the video guys, we were there yesterday and we will be there tomorrow, seem like we are doing a very similar trip 😂

[@ryankeo9481]

[@maritesvlogs96]

If you head to Battambang you can visit the Baha'i House of Worship.

[@ជួងសុវណ្ណគីរីរាជ្យ]

Thanks for coming to my country

[@jamestaylor3189]

Did you guys get a driver for the day to take you around the temples or just sort of hopped in one once you were done wherever you were?

[@Joelfriend]

We had a tuktuk driver for the day cost it $25 from sunrise to 1pm

[@LoyBerlina]

Thanks dear friend I am Dareth from Cambodia

[@Jibzzzz123]

Hey mate, did you book the Tuk tuk in advance? Same one for day and how much?

[@kheankimhong]

Yeah it’s really good 👍

[@xiaoan5226]

The steps are steep not because human’s feet back then were small and anything. The reason is just because the temple is dedicated to god, so they made it hard to climb to represent the devinity of gods.

[@bdaralan]

The temple’s steps are steep by design. Angkor Wat was where the King lived; so if there were to be an enemy invasion or infiltration, they won’t be able to maneuver up the temple very easily.

[@cecilschmid7167]

Sorry, but that's just wrong. No Khmer king ever lived inside Angkor Wat, as it was a temple, not a palace. The steps are steep partly by design, in order to make it more challenging to ascend towards heaven and the realm of the gods (of which Angkor Wat is a representation), and partly due to 850 yeara of erosion.

[@theanyuch7917]

Love your video 🤩

[@brianstephen2581]

Wish i was back there. The beer is nicer out the can.

[@ranjansamarakone6101]

Did you guys pay in US$$ or Cambodian currency for the meals? Do I need to have Cambodian currency in hand?

[@piotrchwalek6925]

Thats us in few hours!

[@sweetchills-ky9mg]

Sir I like your all the videos and sir do you have any other channel if can you let me know the other channel name please because I would like listen different talks by you and I like your this videos too. Thank you very much.

[@sunbunthoeun8991]

That’s so cool

[@BonanzaRoad]

This was a fascinating, wonderful video! What is the temple made of? Brick? Stone? A form of concrete? You guys are the best!

[@starmorning6197]

It was made from muddy stones.

[@cecilschmid7167]

It was not made from "muddy stones" - the older temples in Angkor are mostly brick constructions, while the "newer" ones (like Angkor Wat itself) are mostly made out of sandstone.

[@MJWINNER_Sketchbook999]

Thankyou.

[@Joelfriend]

Welcome!

[@deweycoffman]

What was the "hot" temperature? and humidity?

[@kelvinsmith6854]

Why dont you carry a bottle of water when walking around if you are hot ? ...you also need a white hat ( white reflects the sun)

[@Allen667sjja]

Kinda debating doing the rpg thing there

[@heyha-asean1184]

Too much nationalism. We want tourists and archaeologists to learn the true history of what they saw or traveled thousands of miles to see. You don't just come to see it because of its beauty or amazingness. But you should also be aware of the true history. Not here to be tricked into believing. It should not be acceptable the distortion of history just so that the Khmer rulers can create nationalism for political purposes among the people and be able to influence them. Easier to govern.

[@garybee858]

Oh good two foreigner given people advice about angkor wat,, freaking you tube people are a pain in the ass
