Preah Khan Temple

Siem Reap delivers ancient vibes and jungle feels, but here’s the real gem: Preah Khan Temple during the rainy season 🌳🌦️ Imagine wandering through mossy stone gates that look even more magical with the fresh greenery and mist – it’s like stepping into a lost world IRL. Top Spot to Visit: Preah Khan Temple (Krong Siem Reap, Cambodia) —Open daily, 7:30 AM–5:30 PM Explore early for fewer crowds and that perfect golden sunlight through the trees. The temple’s crumbling gates and intricate carvings peek out from lush jungle, making it an unreal spot for nature-lovers and history buffs. Pro tip: Rainy season adds extra drama to the scenery and fewer tourists, but pack a light rain jacket and waterproof shoes so you can enjoy those mysterious vibes without getting drenched! Getting Around: Tuk-tuks are the best way to bounce between temples and the city center. Negotiate your fare up front for smoother rides. Reach Preah Khan via a quick tuk-tuk from Siem Reap – about 20 mins. Food Recs: Fuel up with fresh fruit from the market before temple adventures, then try a local eatery for amok curry and iced coffee post-exploring. Grab snacks since there aren’t many shops inside the temple grounds. Essential Tips: Bring cash (USD or Cambodian Riel), stay hydrated, and wear light clothes. Siem Reap is super hot and humid year-round! Rainy months (May–October) mean cooler temps and vivid landscapes – perfect for dreamy pics. #SiemReapSecrets #TempleRun #CambodiaTravel #RainforestVibes #tripdotcom
