   SAIGON - SIEM REAPWelcome to Cambodia - Siem Reap, the treasures of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Transfer to have lunch (at your own cost) and check into the hotel. This afternoon, we visit Wat Bo, founded in the 18th century, a highly respected pagoda that contains very unique wall paintings of the Reamker (Ramayana) that are said to be from the late 19th century. Come back to visit the "Les Artisans d'Angkor – Chantiers Ecole," the Finest Authentic Khmer Arts and Crafts.  Overnight in Siem Reap. Please note: Standard check-in time is 14:00. Early check-in is subject to the availability of the hotel  
2. Day 02

   ANGKOR EXPLORATION (B)
   Breakfast at hotel, explore the South Gate of Angkor Thom, known as Big Angkor, a 3 km2 walled and moated royal city and was the last capital of the Angkorian Empire. The famous Bayon Temple was an architectural muddle, in part because it was constructed in a somewhat piecemeal fashion for over a century. Terrace of the Elephants is an impressive, two-and-a-half-meter-tall, 300-meter-long terrace wall adorned with carved elephants and a gradual slope that spans the heart of Angkor Thom in front of Baphuon, a huge temple mountain in the heart of Angkor Thom. Terrace of the Leper King is at the north end of the Terrace of the Elephants, a double terrace wall with deeply carved nagas, demons and other mythological beings. Our last stop this morning is Ta Prohm temple, one of the most famous temples in Angkor, the Ta Prohm is known for the huge trees and the massive roots growing out of its walls. The jungle temple also featured in the adventure movie “The Tomb Raider”; several shots were filmed in the Ta Prohm. Afternoon visit Angkor Wat temple, the founder of the temple was Suryavarman II, who reigned in Cambodia from 1113 to 1152 and built the five towers in the 12th century to dedicate to the Hindu God Vishnu. The plan of the pyramidal conception of the temple, combined with spaces, alleys, and ditches, is an ancient masterpiece of architectural design and construction. Enjoy your free time at bars and pubs at the Angkor night market.  Overnight in Siem Reap.  Note: During the visit to the Bakan tower of Angkor Wat temple, visitors are required to wear proper attire, covering shoulders and knees, as this temple is still considered a sacred site (no shorts, miniskirts or short trousers).   
3. Day 03

   TONLE SAP - AT LEISURE (B)
   Breakfast at hotel.  This morning, take a boat trip to visit the floating village at Kampong Khleang. It is located on the northern lake-edge about 35 km east of Siem Reap town, more remote and less touristic than Kampong Phluk. Visitors to Kampong Khleang during the dry season are universally awestruck by the forest of stilted houses rising to 10 meters in the air. In the wet season, the waters rise to within one or two meters of the buildings. Like Kampong Phluk, Kampong Khleang is a permanent community within the floodplain of the Lake, with an economy based on fishing and surrounded by flooded forest. But Kampong Khleang is significantly larger with near 10 times the population of Kampong Phluk, making it the largest community on the Lake.  Leisure in the afternoon.  Overnight in Siem Reap.   
4. Day 04

We will then be transferred to Siem Reap International Airport for our flight upwards.  Please note: Check-out time is at 12:00.  End of service!
