Day 2: Siem Reap
This morning, visit Angkor Wat, the largest temple in the world. Conceived by Suryavarman II, Angkor Wat took an estimated 30 years to build. Later visit the monumental magnificence of Angkor Thom, last capital of the Khmers with the 216 ‘faces’ of the Bayon at its heart, silent but with the famous half-smile playing on their lips. Enjoy a night at leisure or you can add on the optional Phare, Cambodian Circus. More than just a circus, Phare performers use theatre, music, dance and modern circus arts to tell uniquely Cambodian stories. (B)

Continue to Banteay Samre temple, built under Suryavarman II and Yasovarman II in the early 12th Century. Finally visit Ta Prohm, left largely in its natural state since its ‘re-discovery’.
