Visiting the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh on a cloudy day offered a unique and serene experience. The overcast sky softened the golden hues of the palace's ornate spires, casting a gentle light over the meticulously maintained gardens and intricate Khmer architecture. The subdued lighting highlighted the palace's details, allowing for a more contemplative appreciation of its grandeur. Inside the Silver Pagoda, the absence of harsh sunlight enhanced the sacred atmosphere. The silver-tiled floor gleamed subtly, and the Emerald Buddha, along with the diamond-encrusted gold Buddha, exuded a mystical aura under the diffused light. The Throne Hall, with its high ceilings and historical significance, felt even more majestic against the muted backdrop. A local guide shared insights into the palace's symbolic architecture and its role in Khmer heritage. The blend of traditional Khmer design with French colonial influences was particularly striking, reflecting Cambodia's rich and complex history. The cloudy weather brought fewer crowds, allowing for a peaceful exploration and deeper connection with the site's cultural significance. As the day progressed, the clouds added a dramatic flair to the palace's silhouette, making the visit not just a sightseeing tour but a profound journey into Cambodia's royal legacy. #RoyalPalacePhnomPenh #CambodiaTravel #CulturalHeritage #travelfreak

Wandering through the enigmatic ruins of Bayon Temple in Angkor Thom was like stepping into a forgotten world. As I entered through the ancient gates, the towering stone faces greeted me with serene, knowing smiles—each one unique, yet strangely unified. The sky was overcast, casting a soft, diffused light over the intricately carved bas-reliefs, which depicted vivid scenes of daily life, battle, and mythology. Walking among the crumbling corridors, I could feel the presence of history echoing in the quiet stillness. What struck me most was the contrast between grandeur and decay—how roots crept over stone, and time had weathered even the most majestic carvings, yet the spirit of the Khmer Empire remained alive in every corner. Climbing to the upper terraces, I stood eye-to-eye with the mysterious faces, feeling both humbled and awed by their silent gaze. The view from the top, with jungle stretching to the horizon, gave a glimpse of what this ancient city once oversaw. Bayon wasn’t just a temple—it was a living gallery, a spiritual puzzle, and a timeless witness to Cambodia’s glorious past. Leaving its moss-covered stones behind, I carried with me a deep reverence for the artistry, mystery, and endurance carved into its walls. #BayonTemple #AngkorThom #CambodiaTravel #unescoheritage #travelfreak

📍 Samdach Sothearos Blvd (3), Phnom Penh, Cambodia 💰 Entrance fee: $10 Built in 1866, the palace is a building that showcases traditional Cambodian architecture.

I spent a half-day to explore Angkor Park, Siem Rap Cambodia, where I was immersed by the wonderful ancient wanders. Here are the temples worthy of visit according to my experiences and what you need to remember when pay a visit: 1. Please bear in mind, Angkor is a big park with many temples. You can choose what temples you want to visit. For me, these three temples are worthy: Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple, and Ta Prohm Temple are the must to visit. Angkor Wat is famous for being part of the world’s wonder. At Bayon Temple, you can find unique statue with four faces, while Ta Prohm Temple having old and giant trees on its walls. You can explore the site where Angelina Jolie was filmed for Tomb Raider in this temple, too. 2. Always remember to respect all temples as a sacred place. Wearing clothes that cover your all bodies and keep your voice down are good things to perform. 3. The entrance ticket is not available at the temple’s gates. You need to purchase it in advance in the city, and you can choose to have a one-day pass, two-days pass, etc. I chose one-day pass and it costs USD.39. 4. If you come alone or with a friend, renting tuk-tuk, a local vehicle is good choice. You can enjoy a nice views and the breeze along the way to the temples. The tuk-tuk costs USD 20 for a day. #travel #naturalwonders #holiday #cambodia #cambodiatravel

Angkor Wat, the most famous tourist attraction in Cambodia, was originally a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu, but it has since become a Buddhist temple. Therefore, there is a Buddha Day every week. On Buddha Day, the third level, the Divine Realm, is not accessible, so please keep this in mind when planning your visit. Before the 11th century, Angkor Wat was composed of five levels: 1st level: World of Serpents 2nd level: World of Birds 3rd level: World of Humans 4th level: World of Demons 5th level: World of Gods However, after the 11th century, it was changed to a three-level structure: 1st level: World of Creatures 2nd level: World of Humans 3rd level: Divine Realm

Angkor Wat is pure magic, especially at sunrise. Just a short ride from Siem Reap, I arrived in the early morning to catch the first light hitting the temple’s iconic towers—and it was absolutely worth it. Watching the sun slowly rise behind the ancient stone, reflected in the still water below, was breathtaking. As I wandered through the sprawling temple complex, every corner revealed something new: intricate carvings, towering pillars, and hidden courtyards. The sheer size of Angkor Wat blew me away—it’s easy to get lost in the beauty and history here. From the detailed bas-reliefs to the sacred atmosphere, Angkor Wat is an unforgettable experience. If you’re in Cambodia, don’t miss this bucket-list destination. Get there early, take your time, and soak in the ancient wonders—it’s a moment you’ll never forget! #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #mytripvlog #cambodia #cambodiatravel #siemreap #angkorwat

A 15-foot high wall, surrounded by a wide moat, protected the city, the temple and residents from invasion, and much of that fortification is still standing. A sandstone causeway served as the main access point for the temple. Angkor Wat is located in Siem Reap, Cambodia. This serves nowadays a location for shooting movies because of its unique design and reminds us a historic story behind this place. #summervacation #hiking #cambodiatravel #ancientlandmark #historicculture

When it comes to traveling, I think our preferred places, are mainly Thailand, Japan, South Korea. If I suggest you go to Cambodia, what's the fun in going to such a mountainous place, I believe someone will say it without saying anything? In fact, when talking about Cambodia, some people will talk about Angkor Wat, but in fact the capital is Phnom Penh (car, is known 😩). Phnom Penh actually has no special fun places, but like to visit temples, understand the culture of friends will be inexplicably excited, because Phnom Penh has many different types of temples, see can see all day! When it comes to eating, of course there is a night market, selling authentic delicacies, of course, to challenge alternative foods are available, such as fried scorpions😵 I dare not eat Give a little more information 1. Local charged dollars 2. The security is relatively poor at night, beware of pickpockets 3. There are not many local hotels, to think carefully about where to stay, I stayed in Rosewood last time, the side of the temple will hear the evening drums and morning bells 🤣🤣 #cambodia #cambodiatravel #temple #triplocal #tripinspired

Located in Preaek Pnov just outside central Phnom Penh, Hanuman Shooting Range is one of the city’s top-rated firing ranges. If you’re seeking an exciting, heart-racing experience with a strong emphasis on safety and professionalism, this is the place to go. What makes it stand out: • Guided by English- and Khmer-speaking staff, visitors can safely try out a wide variety of firearms—ranging from pistols and rifles like the AK-47 and M16, to heavier weapons like machine guns and even RPGs (available in certain outdoor setups). • The facilities are well-maintained and purpose-built, offering indoor lanes and a more structured environment than some of the makeshift rural ranges. • Packages often include pickup service, return transport, and even video recording of your session. Visitors highlight the friendly and professional staff, modern weapons, and the thrill of firing rare and powerful firearms. Many note the experience felt surprisingly safe and well-managed. Tips: • The range is about 30 to 90 minutes from central Phnom Penh, depending on traffic and transport arrangements. • Expect to spend between USD $60 to $300 depending on your weapon choices and add-ons. • Suitable for tourists of all experience levels. Some families and groups report participating together. Verdict: Hanuman Shooting Range is a must-visit for thrill seekers in Phnom Penh. With strong safety protocols, helpful staff, and a vast arsenal of weapons to try, it offers a one-of-a-kind experience that’s both exhilarating and well-organized. #summervacay #HanumanShootingRange #PhnomPenhAdventure #CambodiaTravel #GunRangeExperience #AdrenalineRush #AK47 #RPGExperience #CambodiaTourism #BucketListExperience #FirearmsCambodia #phnompenh #Phnompenhtrip #cambodia #cambodiatrip

Located near the iconic Independence Monument, សួនវិមានឯករាជ្យខាងកើត (East Independence Park) is a beautifully landscaped public space in the city center. Surrounded by bustling boulevards, the park offers a quiet escape amidst the traffic, and is a popular spot for locals to jog, stroll, or relax in the evenings. The Independence Monument itself is a stunning lotus-shaped stupa, designed by Vann Molyvann to commemorate Cambodia’s independence from France. The park is especially picturesque at night when the monument is lit up in the colors of the national flag. Though smaller and more formal than other parks, East Independence Park stands out for its cultural significance and well-maintained grounds. During national holidays like Independence Day or Constitution Day, the area becomes a focal point for parades and ceremonies. If you’re in Phnom Penh, this is a great spot to pause, reflect, or take photos of one of Cambodia’s most meaningful landmarks. #summervacay #PhnomPenhLandmarks #IndependenceMonument #CambodiaHistory #CityParks #PhnomPenhViews #VannMolyvann #CambodianCulture #EveningWalks #MonumentPark #CambodiaTravel #phnompenh #Phnompenhtrip #cambodia #cambodiatrip

#springitinerary Bayon Temple felt to me like stepping into a perfectly crafted game environment! Although smaller compared to some other temples, it’s incredibly exquisite and full of charm. Located at the very heart of Angkor Thom, Bayon is most famous for its towering stone faces — over 200 giant smiling faces carved on the temple’s many towers, earning it the nickname “The Smiling Faces of Khmer.” Built in the late 12th to early 13th century by King Jayavarman VII, Bayon was originally dedicated to Mahayana Buddhism. Each serene face exudes calm and mystery; some say these faces represent the king himself, while others believe they depict Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion. Walking through Bayon feels like navigating a labyrinth — the temple is a maze of corridors and terraces, adorned with intricate bas-reliefs illustrating historical battles, daily life scenes, and mythological tales. The rich carvings and the enigmatic smiles create a truly immersive glimpse into ancient Khmer culture and history. #AncientTempleArchitecture #AngkorWat #CambodiaTravel

Drift along peaceful waterways, watch fishermen cast their nets, and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of this incredible ecosystem.

Whether you visit from Phnom Penh or Siem Reap, experiencing Tonle Sap during the rainy season is a must for travelers seeking something truly authentic and mesmerizing. #CambodiaPhnomPenh #CambodiaTravel #TonleSapLake #CulturalJourney
