In reply to eileen g. Eileen, We loved Angkor and the tuk tuk driver we had took us on a great route but didn't really guide us. It was a great visit.

I think Angkor is a place where it really is worth it to have a guide. it is big and sprawling. Our guide knew the most efficient order to see the temples based on where they are and what is more crowded when. They knew where to go to see a good sunset, and took us to some outlying temples you might miss, etc. and they could tell us what were looking at, too.

In reply to Anda. Anda, It's an amazing place. I love a site that has a lot going on, people living there still.

Lucky you, Corinne. I’ve never been to Angkor Wat, but I have it on my list (and the list is so long!)

In reply to Frank. Frank, I stayed at a hostel on the edge of Siem Riep. It was across from the huge hotel, a good location. I think most of the hostels are pretty nice. Good luck!

Hi Corinne – great photos! We’re off to SE Asia in a few weeks, for 6 months, and Angkor a place we want to spend some time in. Looks as amazing as everything we’ve heard! Any recommendations of where to stay?

In reply to Lani. Lani, I think getting templed out is a real possibility, especially if you follow a tour guide around and stop, listen, move on, and repeat. If you want a tour guide, I would schedule one for the first day as an overview and take the rest slowly and just soak it all in!

I haven’t been yet, but I hear it is amazing, and based on your photos I can see that it is true. I also heard to give yourself plenty of time. 3 sounds perfect, but I suppose it depends on how much you want to get into it all. Some folks might get burnt out, but since you feel like maybe it wasn’t enough, then I’m thinking 4 might be better!

I’ve never been to Angkor Wat so I would be delighted with 3 days there! It looks beautiful. It’s amazing to think that as a teacher, he was earning 10 dollars a month. Really puts things in perspective.
