Temples of Angkor
A sightseeing must on any trip to Cambodia are the historical
Temples of Angkor, set in the heart of the ancient Khmer Empire.
Built between the 9th and 13th centuries, more than 100 temples
have been uncovered and stand testament to this ancient
civilisation and one of the biggest cities of its time. Angkor Wat
is the largest religious monument ever built, an impressive Hindu
temple surrounded by a moat, and acknowledged as one of the wonders
of the world. The walled Royal City of Angkor Thom is home to the
Bayon Temple and its huge stone faces, another fascinating
attraction.

Admission
Language
Khmer is the official language. French is also spoken,
but English is fast becoming popular with the younger
generation.
Money
Riel (KHR) is the official currency and is divided into 100 sen.
Foreign currency is difficult to exchange with the exception of US
Dollars. Most transactions require cash. US dollars and Thai Baht
are accepted, although smaller transactions are usually done in
riel. A torn US dollar note renders it useless. Credit cards are
only accepted in a limited number of tourist-orientated hotels and
restaurants in Phnom Penh and larger towns. There are a few ATMs in
Phnom Penh, but they shouldn't be relied upon as a source of money;
travellers cheques in US dollars or sterling can be cashed at a
limited number of banks and larger hotels, though travellers
cheques are not recommended due to limited acceptance.
