Cambodia Roundtrip Via Kampong Chhnang & Battambang
Angkor Thom – meaning “great city” – is shielded by a moat and an imposing 8m-high wall, which protected its many monuments. Its central temple, the Bayon, celebrates all the religions of the Angkor kingdom, including Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam. Ascend to the terraces to get a bird’s eye view of the epic layout – this complex is far more expansive than nearby Angkor Wat.
