History
Ayutthaya served as Siam’s capital between the 14th and 18th centuries and its prang towers reflect cosmological and royal symbolism; Angkor was the Khmer Empire’s heart in the 12th–13th centuries, later adapted by varying religious traditions.
Conservation
Angkor faces conservation demands from heavy visitor traffic and natural vegetation; support local guides and follow site rules to limit impact, and avoid single-use plastics to reduce waste.
