Best tour guide in Cambodia
When we first arrived at the airport in Siem Riep it was so nice to be greeted by Mr Sam Ol. We instantly fell at home when we saw his friendly smile. We were impressed by his great English and knowledge of the temples. On the tour to the temples Sam took care of us every step of the way. He took awesome pictures of us. It felt like we were on a tour given by our brother who is also a professional photographer. Also, we appreciate his humor as well as the fact he had an answer for every question we had. I give Sam 5 stars, best tour guide ever :) MoreLen S, Feb 2023

Great tour guide Charity at Siem Reap
Our experience in Siem Reap could not have been any better thanks to our outstanding and cheerful guide, Charity. Her very good English speaking made it so easy to learn so much from her. She understood and answers all of our questions.She was relaxed and very knowledgeable. She went out out her way to help us make amazing pano photos of the cotton trees at Siem Reap and on our sunset cruise. She also advised us on Chanrey Tree restaurant—what we found to be the very best vegan restaurant on our first three weeks of our Asia tour. So glad to have vegan meals with very little oil!!! We are not supposed to have oil and is very hard to find vegan with no oil. Went went back the next night. MoreBarbara Cornyn, Jan 2023

Things to Do
Due to high temperatures at midday and the increasing rainfall in June, the beauty of the landscape may be affected; so outdoor activities should be arranged carefully, in accordance with the actual weather conditions.
We recommend visiting some well-known indoor scenic spots, such as Nyaung U market, as well as enjoying shopping in Bagan.
Explore Shwezigon Pagoda – the Oldest Temple in Bagan
Located on the eastern bank of the Irrawaddy River, Shwezigon Pagoda is a beautiful pagoda begun by King Anawrahta during the mid 11th century and completed by his son King Kyanzittha in the late 11th century.
The pagoda is one of the oldest and most impressive monuments in Bagan. Its architecture, with a solid cylindrical structure, became the inspiration for later pagodas and was copied down through the centuries.
Shwezigon PagodaShwezigon Pagoda is also famous for its 37 pre-Buddhist nat statues. Before Buddhism was introduced to Bagan, nat spirit worship was prevalent and nat worship is still a great attraction for tourists in modern-day Myanmar.
From the outside, the huge gold-plated pagoda dominates the area, glimmering in the sun. The legend goes that one worshipful visit to Shwezigon Pagoda can bring prosperity and luck. With this legend, the pagoda attracts thousands of tourists every day.
Visit Thatbyinnyu Pagoda – the Tallest Temple in Bagan
The special feature of this temple is captured in its name "Thatbyinnyu", which in the language of Myanmar means "omniscience". Omniscience is further described in contemporary inscriptions as "knowing thoroughly and seeing widely".
It is grey and aged, as distinct from most other pagodas which are red.
Thatbyinnyu PagodaThatbyinnyu Pagoda was built in 1144 A.D by King Alaungsithu, the grandson of Kyansittha. At a height of 61 meters, Thatbyinnyu is the tallest pagoda in Bagan.
Thatbyinnyu Pagoda was a transitional temple. It was one of the first temples with a two-storey structure, unlike previous temples built with only one storey. The two-storey structure became the architectural norm for later temples.
Thatbyinnyu incorporates seven terraces. The top terrace is the perfect place for enjoying a great view of Bagan, not to mention views of the spectacular sunrises and sunsets.
Sadly, however, in order to preserve the ancient pagoda, tourists are no longer at liberty to climb to the top. We can, however, still pause at the bottom and admire the magnificent building.
