Amazing Angkor Wat, Cambodia

" Wow! Wow! Wow! Amazing..." that's my first impression when i saw Angkor Wat.


Angkor Wat was built in the first half of the 12th century (113-5BC). Estimated construction time of the temple is 30 years by King Suryavarman II. Entry and exit to Angkor Wat can only be access from its west gate. Angkor Wat, the largest monument with its perfection in composition, balance, proportions, relief's and sculpture make it one of the finest monuments in the world.

We took an elephant ride to reach the hill top before sunset. The sunlights will cover the whole Angkor Wat building with gold and yellow colour. It seems like Angkor Wat is growing in gold. It's simply amazing! The entrance fee is USD20/adult. Thats was in year 2004!
