Baphuon Temple: A Local Guide to Angkor’s Temple Mountain
Baphuon is one of Angkor Thom’s most impressive temple mountains, with a long raised causeway, steep upper terraces and an enormous reclining Buddha. We recommend allowing time to climb and explore its remarkable architecture and restoration story.
Ta Prohm Temple Guide 2026
Ta Prohm is famous for its enormous trees growing through the ruins, but there is much more to explore beyond the best-known viewpoints. We recommend visiting early, when its corridors and courtyards are quieter and the temple is at its most atmospheric.
Bayon Temple Guide
Bayon is one of Angkor’s most remarkable temples, famous for its enormous stone faces and maze of carved galleries. We recommend visiting early, when the temple is quieter and the soft morning light brings the faces to life.
Banteay Kdei: A Local Guide to Angkor’s Buddhist Temple
We recommend Banteay Kdei for its atmospheric corridors, detailed carvings and quieter feel compared with nearby Ta Prohm. Visit early and you can often explore some of its most beautiful sections with very few other people around.
Ta Nei Temple Guide
One of our favourite smaller temples at Angkor, Ta Nei is peaceful, atmospheric and still receives relatively few visitors. We recommend it for travellers who want to step beyond the standard temple circuit.
Srah Srang: A Local Guide to Angkor’s Royal Bath
Srah Srang is one of our favourite places to start an early morning at Angkor, with beautiful sunrise views and far fewer people than Angkor Wat. It also pairs perfectly with an early visit to Banteay Kdei directly opposite.
