Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom is not one temple. It is a walled royal city from the 12th century, built under King Jayavarman VII, with several headline stops inside one visit.
-
Your Angkor pass is needed for the Angkor park zone, including Angkor Thom.
-
The main stops are Bayon Temple, Baphuon, the Terrace of the Elephants, the Terrace of the Leper King, and the city gates.
-
A full Angkor day often gives Bayon 45 minutes and the royal terrace area 70 minutes, so Angkor Thom fits well into a well-planned morning.
-
Early starts help you stay ahead of heavier crowd flow and keep your photos cleaner.
ASEAN ANGKOR GUIDE plans Angkor Thom around your pace, your photo style, and how much temple time you want in one day. Bayon Temple feels very different when you hit it at the right hour.
-
Book our Angkor Wat sunrise group tour with breakfast if you want dawn at Angkor Wat, breakfast, then Angkor Thom later in the morning.
-
Choose our Angkor Wat sunrise tuk tuk tour with breakfast if you want open-air riding, slower photo stops, and entry through the South Gate into Angkor Thom.
-
Pick our Angkor highlight sunrise tour with Banteay Srei if you want Angkor Thom in a fuller day with breakfast and more temple stops.
Most guests reach Angkor Thom in two easy steps: arrive in Siem Reap, then head out from your hotel on tour day. Our private Siem Reap Airport Transfer from SAI to hotel gives you direct pickup from Siem Reap Angkor International Airport with hourly service from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Once you are in town, the easy move is hotel pickup on a temple tour. Our sunrise routes pass through Victory Gate or the South Gate before stops at Bayon, Baphuon, and the royal terraces inside Angkor Thom.
-
Arrive first, rest, then visit Angkor Thom the next morning.
-
Pick a sunrise route if you want Angkor Thom added to a smooth temple day.
For Angkor Thom, the best move is an early start. Our sunrise routes place Angkor Wat first, then Angkor Thom after breakfast, which helps you see Bayon Temple before the day feels crowded and hot.
If you want a calmer pace, put Angkor Thom near the front of your route, not at the very end. A 9 hour temple day already gives enough time for Bayon and the royal terrace zone when your stops are planned well.

Angkor Thom is the last great capital of the Khmer Empire, built as a fortified royal city in the 12th century under King Jayavarman VII.
You are not coming for one stop only, because Angkor Thom brings Bayon Temple, Baphuon, royal terraces, gates, and palace ground into one city visit.
That is why Angkor Thom gives you so much in one route.
The headline stops inside Angkor Thom are Bayon Temple, Baphuon, the Terrace of the Elephants, the Terrace of the Leper King, Phimeanakas, and the South Gate.

Yes. Bayon Temple sits at the geographical and spiritual center of Angkor Thom, and its 54 towers with 216 stone faces make it the stop most guests remember first.
Many well-planned temple days give Bayon 45 minutes and the royal terrace area 70 minutes, so Angkor Thom usually takes a good part of your morning rather than a rushed stop.
If you like slower walking and more photos, give Angkor Thom extra time.
You can expect hotel pickup, an early start, and a route that links Angkor Thom with other major temple stops.
You will pass one of the grand gates, then move into the city for Bayon Temple and other royal sites.
