Angkor Thom is BREATHTAKING! Here’s Why You MUST VISIT!

Angkor Wat gets all the hype, but Angkor Thom is where the real magic happens. This ancient city is filled with towering stone faces, hidden passageways, and jaw-dropping ruins that feel straight out of a lost civilization.

Angkor Thom was the last great capital of the Khmer Empire and remains one of the most fascinating sites within the Angkor Archaeological Park. Surrounded by impressive stone walls and a wide moat, the ancient city was built in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. Visitors enter through monumental gates adorned with giant stone faces, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and ambition of the Khmer civilization. Many travelers recommend an ultimate travel action camera like this for capturing stunning photos and videos of the spectacular entrances.

At the heart of Angkor Thom lies the famous Bayon temple, known for its towering stone faces that appear to watch over the city from every direction. For travelers who want high-quality photos and videos of Bayon temple, a lightweight mirrorless camera like this one is a popular choice among content creators and travel photographers. Beyond Bayon, the complex is home to impressive sites such as the Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King, each showcasing intricate carvings and remarkable craftsmanship. To see it all with a guide, you can book an Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Ta Prohm day tour.

Exploring Angkor Thom provides a deeper understanding of Cambodia’s rich history and offers a captivating journey through one of the most significant archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. Some travelers memorialize their experience at Angkor Thom with a keepsake journal like this one thoughtfully designed for travelers who love capturing memories, documenting adventures, and preserving the fun of every trip.

Our Travel Must-Haves

Universal Charging Adapter

A friend of ours told us about this universal adapter when we were in Greece, and our lives were forever changed. We used to have to carry multiple adapters but now only carry this one as it has an adapter for every country and supports wall and USB chargers!

On The Go Phone Charger

We purchased two of these because we loved it so much. We are constantly using our phones, taking photos and videos while we travel, and never want to run out of charge. These portable chargers keep our phones fully charged at all times!

Disposable Hotel Slippers

We love hotel slippers, and some hotels give them and some do not, so we like to be prepared. Plus, the best part is, we can throw them out when we leave the hotel and make our suitcase lighter instead of carrying traditional bedroom slippers that we use at home.

Travel Packing Bags

We love these compression cubes! We are notorious over-packers, and these packing cubes help us keep our suitcase organized and underweight!
