WE WENT TO ANGKOR WAT (it's worth the hype)

[@davesivirn2283]

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.

[@d.c.3534]

👏👏👏 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.

[@OnePackWanderers]

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.

[@asvd_2200]

Well-said!

[@jomontanee]

Angkor Wat looks so MAGICAL!! The ancient places always have the spiritual energy. 9:18 That monkey’s sit is EPIC!! Cute.

[@metchawininthichai5093]

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.

[@OnePackWanderers]

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.

[@samofficialkh]

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.

Loved in Cambodia for 11 years, been to Angkor Wat many times, great place!

[@pgsanta]

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.

[@OnePackWanderers]

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 😂

[@Rightbyme]

Chinese tourists are very annoying, loud, no manners, they spit regularly and constantly take selfies

[@stephenworthington-white8294]

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.

[@ReanPhysicsMath3121]

I am really happy to see you guys having amazing trip to this ancient city. 🇰🇭❤️

[@actuallyvidding]

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

[@OnePackWanderers]

Agreed with everything you said. Angkor Wat should be be as famous as Egypt's Pyramids, but it somehow isn't.

[@sadethlee9309]

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!

Did you guys check out the bas reliefs carving along the walls at Angkor Wat? It's the major highlight there. Very amazing and impressive . I was there in the late 90s, there were no rails and modern stairs leading up to the top back then. It wase quite steep. It was in its original state. Well, enjoy the rest of the trip. Oh, don't forget to check out the beaches in the southern part near the Sihanouville. Koh Rong Samloeum. Beautiful white sand and clear water. Not overcrowded and spoiled yet. Etc...

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. 🥵

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...

[@coreana.aesthetics]

The editorial, presentation and vibe are on point.

[@kccasey6847]

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, KZbin 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.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Hey there! Thank you for taking the time to write this out. KZbin 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.
