– a guest approaches the front desk and tells you he wants to tour the Angkor Wat temples. You provide some usefull information to make his tour an enjoyable one.
Good morning! I’m happy to help you with your Angkor Wat tour.
Angkor Wat is the most famous temple in Cambodia. It is very big and very old. Many people visit it every day. The temple is a special place for Cambodian people.
Most tours start in the morning. You visit Angkor Wat first. Later, you go to other temples like Bayon and Ta Prohm. Each temple is different. Bayon has many faces on the towers. Ta Prohm has big trees growing on the walls.
You walk a lot during the tour, so please wear comfortable shoes. It is also a good idea to wear light clothes and bring a hat, sunglasses, and water.
You need a ticket for the temples. You can buy it before the tour starts. One-day, three-day, and seven-day tickets are available. You must keep your ticket with you during the tour.
Many people take a guide. A guide tells you about the temples and the history. You can take many photos, but please be respectful. Some temples are still holy.
If you have any questions or need help with your tour, we at the front desk are always happy to help you. Enjoy your visit!
