History
Angkor Wat was built in the early 12th century under King Suryavarman II and later adapted from Hindu to Buddhist uses; Angkor Thom and the Bayon reflect Jayavarman VII’s 12th–13th century urban and religious program.
Conservation
High visitor numbers stress fragile sandstone and root-covered masonry; follow guide instructions, avoid climbing on reliefs and carry out waste to minimize impact.

Buy an Angkor Pass ahead of time

Cambodia’s heat builds quickly; bring at least 1–2 liters per person and use provided water during the tour.
