Angkor Wat 3-Day Tour from Bangkok

2.Angkor Wat 3-Day Tour from Bangkok

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 58 reviews · from $490

Travel privately from Bangkok, Pattaya, or Koh Chang to Siem Reap for Tonle Sap, Angkor Wat, Bayon, Ta Prohm, and Preah Khan. A Cambodian guide such as Sothy, Bun, or Sava leads the temple day, with two hotel nights and breakfast included.

“The hotel and Angkor Wat temples were amazing. Way better than we expected. Taking 3-days tour is way better than 2-day. WE had extra chance to enjoy the hotel, massage and evening in the city. Transportation and crossing the border was very smooth. The only minus was on the way back when we hit a huge traffic on the border and it took us 3 hours to line-up on the way to Thailand. The reason was beginning of the Chinese New Year. But the local staff knows those holidays and they could advise us about the traffic, so we would leave maybe a day before late evening and the trip…”

“Our tour with Ms. Phanne was the absolute highlight of our entire trip to Cambodia. The 3 days were each really engaging, and gave us such a great exposure to the major temples at Angkor Wat, as well as the Tonle Sap river. Ms Phanne was a warm, engaging, and wonderful guide to the history and culture, and we also loved hearing about her life and perspective on Cambodia overall. She was always gracious and thoughtful with her answers, and we came away with a real appreciation for this country and for her as a guide—in fact, we wished we could have taken her with us to Phnom Penh! ;)…”

“Worthwhile having a driver that knows the country. Certainly a time-saver. This itinerary covered places we (as a group) wanted to see: Corinth Canal, Olympia archaeological site, Delphi archeological site, Meteora monasteries. Online itinerary was accurate. Van had a mechanical issue that made significant noise and vibration in the passenger compartment (felt like bad wheel bearings or broken / bad wheel or bad tire). Very difficult to hear what the driver said for passengers in the third row. I wore ear plugs entire time in the van. Made the entire three-day trip relatively uncomfortable. Itinerary was very uneven. 12 hours of driving and touring on the first day. Might have…”

“Terrific. Moni was an excellent guide. We spent three days together and he was a font of information. He loves his job and you can tell. Our driver, Tria, (spelling), was always right there for us when we finished whatever activity we were doing. Doors were always opened for us, cold water was always available, and Moni took care to check if we needed to take a break. Our first day was almost a disaster. We were late getting to the hotel lobby. My sister’s name was used to book the hotel, but I booked the tour. So Moni was hitting every Temple hotel to find us. Then, we had…”
