traditional, and royal
events; the Festival of
the 12th month, or Tat. |
|
|
|
Wat Si Saket |
|
Wat Si Saket is nestled
within a lush tropical
plantation. It is not
the oldest Buddhist
place as many temples
were destroyed during
the wars in the 19th
century. This large
temple (wat) displaying
a strong Thai influence
with some fine, but
fading Buddhist murals,
is home to over 6,000
Buddhas of different
sizes and styles. |

Patuxai (Victory
Monument) |
|
Patuxai (Anousavary) -
Victory Monument is
situated at the north
end of Lane Xang Avenue

de Triomphe - as it is
sometimes known. During

can be climbed and makes
an excellent vantage
point of the city |

Wat Xieng Khouang
(Buddah Park) |
|
Wat Xieng Khouang
(Buddah Park) is
situated about 25

and Hindu Philosophies. |

Wat Xieng Thong |
|
This is considered to be
the most magnificent
temple in Luang Prabang
-- the "Golden City" or
"Golden Tree Monastery."
This is saying something
since standards of
breathtaking beauty and
serenity in temple
building in Luang
Prabang are very high.
Xieng Thong is situated
on an embankment above
the Mekong near the
point where it joins the
Nam Khan River and it
often served as the
gateway to the town. |
|
|
|
Royal Palace Museum
or "Haw Kham" |
|
This palace was
originally built for
King Sisavang Vong after
the original building
was destroyed by Chinese
Haw invaders in 1887.
Started in 1904, it was
completed in 1909. It is
also called Haw Kham
which means golden hall.
The architecture of the
building is a
combination of
traditional Lao styles
with French
neoclassical. |

Cambodia
|
|
Angkor Wat |
|
Angkor, the former capital of the ancient Khmer Empire, is one of the greatest and most spectacular Hindu religious sites in the world. Construction of this elaborate temple complex - built in honour of the god Vishnu - began in AD 879 during the reign of King Suryavarman II and was completed in 1191. It lay concealed for many years, however, until the site was discovered by Frenchman Henri Mahout in 1860. |
|
|
|
Angkor Thom |
|
Angkor Thom was built by Cambodia's greatest builder, Jayavarman VII. This ten square kilometer city is enclosed by an eight meter high wall and encircled by a hundred meter moat said to have been inhabited by fierce crocodiles. Access is via causeways over the moat that are flanked by the statues of fifty four Gods on the left and fifty four devils on the right, all seemingly engaged in a game of tug of war. |
|
|
|
Bayon |
|
Bayon is located in the geographical heart of Angkor Thom. The fifty four tower temple is a quite remarkable sight. Initially the temple seems to be a shapeless mass of grey and brown stone but as one approaches one realizes that each of the towers is in fact carved and there are over two hundred huge enigmatic faces of Avalokitesharva bearing down on you wherever you turn. |
|
|
|
Great Lake Tonle Sap |
|
The recently refurbished riverfront park is the focal point for the Phnom Penh residents' leisure activities. Early risers can see the many locals welcoming the new day with Tai Chi and other exercises while the sun rises majestically over the river. |

Ta Phrom |
|
Ta Phrom was built in the late 12th century by Jayavarman VII as a shrine to his mother. As a monastery there were nearly three thousand priests here including eighteen high priests. Ta Prohm is unforgettable due to the massive trees that were left here intentionally by the archeologists working on the site. Many of the trees have grown around and through the remains, and soar high above the temple. |
|
|
|
Roluos Group |
|
Roluos Group was the capital of Indravarman I (877 to 889). These were the first temples built to last and are made of brick with some carved plaster reliefs. The group is made up of the three temples of Preah Ko, Bakong, and Lolei. Many of the later temples in the Angkor group are based on these earlier temples though rather then brick. |
|
|
|
Phnom Bakheng |
|
Phnom Bakheng served as the temple mountain of the first city of Angkor as opposed to the previous center of Roluos. The capital built on a lone hill offers panoramic views of Angkor Wat. Angkor Thom and the surrounding areas. It is best visited in the late afternoon for a spectacular sunset or in the early morning for sunrise over Angkor Wat. |
|
|
|
Silver Pagoda |
|
Silver Pagoda (or the temple of the Emerald Buddha), formerly a wooden building, was rebuilt in 1962 in concrete and marble. The pagoda is floored with over 5000 silver tiles each weighing 1 kilo. It is famous for its 90 kg solid gold Buddha made in 1907 and an emerald Buddha said to be made of baccarant crystal. Sharing the pagoda are many other interesting artifacts and jewels and was one of the few temples to remain intact during the Khmer Rouge regime. |

Small and Grand Circuits |
The Small Circuit takes in several of the major and minor temples in the area. Beginning at Angkor Wat and running for seventeen kilometers the circuit takes in the major elements of Angkor Thom, Ta Phrohm, and Banteay Kdei, and some of the minor but interesting temples such as the Baphoun, The Terrace of the Leper King, The Terrace of the Elephants, the Twelve Prasats, Spean Thma and Sras Srang before returning to Angkor Wat.
The twenty-six kilometer Grand Circuit is an extension on the little circuit but taking in Preah Khan, Preah Neak Pean to the Eastern Mebon and the various monuments like Ta Som, Preah Rup, before returnin to Angkor Wat and is highly recommended for anyone spending three or more days in the complex. The Big Circuit encompasses a good representation of the rich variety of architecture here. |
