You’ll walk along the entrance causeway, over the great moat, and enter into the outer enclosure of Angkor Wat. Here, you’ll marvel in the size of the buildings and the complex around you.

When we’ve finished exploring Angkor Wat, it’s time to head towards the South Gate of Angkor Thom. Here, you’ll see the giant smiling face looking down on you from the entrance to the vast city of Angkor Thom.
The entrance is very ornate with beautiful carvings to view. The causeway over the moat is just as fascinating. There are 54 gods on one side and 54 devils on the other side. You can tell the two apart because the gods will be smiling at you and the evil spirits will have a grimacing expression.
