Wonders of the world

The most famous temples in all of Cambodia are the temples at Angkor, they are even considered to be at the very heart of Cambodian identity. The Khmer Empire was founded by King Jayavarman II in 802 AD and he chose the city of Angkor to be one of its capitals. The Kingdom lasted for about 700 years and once included Thailand, Laos and parts of Vietnam. The jewel among the temples is Angkor Vat which is considered to be the actual metropolis as well as the site of the royal palace. It stands outside the wall of Angkor Thom and it is together with this temple as well as additional temples that it constitutes the Angkor Archaeological Park. Be careful of “temple fatigue” but make sure to at least, in addition to Angkor Vat, also visit the temple of Phnom Bakheing. The temples at Angkor are well deserving of their status as some of the most important religious symbols in the world and it is easy to get lost in the sheer magnificence of it all. A visit to the temples will become one of your most lasting memories.
