Upon arrival at Siem Reap International Airport, your Angkor Wat tours begin. Customs formalities and visa issuance will be processed.
Siem Reap is a city in Cambodia, as well as the capital of the province of the same name. The city is located between the ruins of the ancient city of Angkor Wat and the great Lake Tonle Sap, in the northwestern part of the country.
You will be welcomed by our guide and transferred to the hotel. After check-in, you will be picked up by a Tuk Tuk—a small open taxi very popular in Cambodia—to go to Preah Ang Chek Preah Ang Chom, a sacred site where Cambodians gather for worship on every important religious day of their lives. Continue to Wat Bo, a large pagoda founded in the 18th century. Like the Silver Pagoda in Phnom Penh, the Vihear of Wat Bo contains unique wall paintings. The area is interesting for its scenes of daily market life and also for the large collection of Buddha statues located behind the main Buddha. Here, a blessing ceremony will take place where you will be blessed by monks wishing you happiness, prosperity, and safety for your holiday.
