Travel destinations: Siem Reap, Cambodia

by genzo

Siam Reap is truly a place which is rich in culture and history. It houses the most famous " Ang Kor Wat", which used to be the castle for the ancient kings. It is a magnificient sight to behold and to gain access to the top of the castle, you need to climb up almost 30m or equivalent to around 7-8 storeys high of steps. There are also many historical artifacts and statues, which are in the process of being reconstructed so that the Ang Kor Wat can be seen in its full entirety again.

Upon getting to the top, you can see the vast view of Ang Kor Wat. In there, there are Buddha statues for both locals and tourists to pray. In addiition, on the walls of Ang Kor Wat, you can find the history of Cambodia and how the legends of gods and goddess, good vs evil were being told.

The entry to Ang Kor Wat is around US$20. It is a small price to pay in exchange for the experience you get in return. No amount of words can truly describe that feeling until you have experienced it for yourself.

Getting to that is easy as well. Just book yourself on a flight on SilkAir or JetStar and you will soon find yourself in a whole new different culture,one which is so simple and yet enriching. SO why wait, do your research on Siam Reap and book yourself the flight to a whole new experience in Siam Reap.
