This section as intended as a guide for visiting the monuments at Angkor.
It can be either read in advance of a visit or afterwards to reinforce the experience, or used at the sites to enable the visitor to be an active spectator.
Historical quotes from early visitors to Angkor are included where appropriate to try to capture the spirit of its past glory.
Legends and symbolism are also included whenever feasible to give the visitor additional background for a better appreciation of Angkor.

AIR links between Brunei and Siem Reap are set to start, a report from Cambodia’s Phnom Penh Post newspaper reported yesterday.
In its website, the newspaper quoted ranking officials from Cambodia’s Ministry of Tourism as saying international flights will also link Siem Reap with Indonesia to boost tourism.

Siem Reap, Cambodia
Lesson of the day
Don’t always believe what you are told from Thai/ Cambodian travel advisers. Be strong and challenge agents (not passport control, they won’t care) and be wary of their corrupt cartel of agents, boarder control, restaurants and tuc tuc drivers.
The trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia
It was an early start for me and the team. We got packed, had breakfast and jumped aboard our mini-bus which would take us to our first stop, the boarder town of Aranyaprahet. Our driver was supposed to rock up at 9am, but got in at a leisurely 9.30. He was a pretty grumpy sod as well. Dumping our bags in the back without any care, he made such a haphazard job of it that the bags nearly tumbled onto Elena as we set off!
On the way to the ferry, we picked up three further tourists also heading to Siem Reap. That’s right; they were Scandinavians (Norwegians in fact). The bus was so packed by this point that their bags had to be put down the isles, blocking off all exits to us sitting in the back.
As we approached the ferry, we all witnessed our first motorbike accident. Motorbikes are the common form of travel over here and you always hear stories of horrific crashes. They aren’t big on safety helmets over here, so it was quite remarkable that both involved were conscious as we drove by.
