Detailed itinerary

The Royal Garden is popular with domestic and International Tourists. On the north of the garden is the largest colonial-style hotel built at the same time as the Royal garden during the French occupation (Raffles Grand d’Angkor Hotel). On the South of the Garden is the Royal Resident which located along the River bank.

The Preah Ang Chek Preah Ang Chorm shrine is a religious shrine. It is located within the compound of the Royal Residence where two statues referred to as Preah Ang Chek and Preah Ang Chorm are worshipped since 1982. The statues of Preah Ang Chek Preah Ang Chorm were both bronze statues rediscovered in 1950 in the forest around Angkor Thom by Angkor conservation officials. It is believed that the statue of Preah Ang Chek and Preah Ang Chorm were originally kept in the temple of Angkor Wat. According to the Institute of the Humanities and Social Sciences of the Royal Academy of Cambodia, Khmer king Ang Chan I or Chan Reachea who ascended the throne in the 16th century would have allowed the installation of the two bronze statues in Angkor Wat in honor of these two princesses, which were considered by then as bodhisattvas who received great honour and veneration. The statues were later lost as Angkor Wat was neglected.
