AngKor Temple Guides - San Park - Trang village, slakram commune, SiemReap - Rated 4.9 based on 33 Reviews "If you need a guide/driver in SiemReap
We have just spent 2 days being shown many of the famous temples around Siem Reap, Cambodia, by wonderful San Park. Of course Angkor Wat was the highlight. But Park was able to share his first hand family knowledge of life during the Khmer Rouge atrocities of the 1970s. His knowledge of 1200 years of his country's history was fascinating. Friendly and very professional. I thoroughly recommend Park as a guide.
Dianne Guille O'Neill — 1 starPark was knowledgeable, patient and lots of fun. Thank you for 2 great days, an experience we will never forget!

San Park tour guide &driver, Siem Reap”
Reviewed 29 May 2015
My wife & I spent five very fully daysvisiting to Angkor Temples aroud Siem Reap with San Park our guide &driver. Mr San ( in Cambodian & Chinese the surname comes first), proved tobe very good value in cost for his services as driver & guide. He was alsovery flexible & easy in accommodating to our needs in terms of sights wewished to see & / or time we wished to spend walking the numerous templesites which can be hot & very humid in forested areas.
A big plus for Mr San is that he will enable 3 non consecutive days of templetour around the Ankor area, whereas most other guides will only take 3consecutive days which limits your choice in time to experience other aspectsof Siem Reap & other places of interest. We had a wonderful time beingguided by Mr San who had good knowledge of all the temples & places wevisited. He is good at dodging the crowds & advising on the best places toget good photo shots from. This includes his advice on dawn & sunset photoshots. He is also knowledge in bringing you to lunchtime places to eat whichare reasonable in price & give good & tasteful dishes. We had afantastic & enjoyable time in Seam Reap thanks to Mr San who is not only agood guide & safe driver. He has a good sense of humour which comes outduring his guide of the temples. But you have to be there to experience that!!
So go & meet Mr San & enjoy Ankor in the comfort of air conditionedcar, free bottled water & wonderful company.
Thank you Mr San, we wish you & your family good health, happiness &prosperity.

Day 4 temple tripping, Sunday. We were taken to the border of Thailand by our guide Park San and then up a mountain on the back of a ute, driving up 'dancing' roads to Prasat Preah Vihear where we has some spectacular views of Cambodia. Next we went jungle to Beng Melea which would be my fave temple I think! Excellent day!
Thank you for the tour today Park San, both Gabriela Frohlich and I had a wonderful time exploring Prasat Preah Vihear & Beng Malea. You're knowledge of the temples along with your sense of humour made the trip even better! I'll be sure to pass on your details if I know of anyone coming to Siem Reap. Best of luck smile emoticon

Dear Park San,
Just a quick message to say thank you for guiding me around Siam Reap and the temples.
And for anyone thinking of hiring a guide whilst in Siam Reap I can thoroughly recommend Park San. Not only does he have a good level of English and the ability to explain the history and meaning of the different temples in the Angkor area but he can also tell you a lot about Cambodia's recent history and what life for Cambodians is like today.
Many thanks

Went up to Prasat Preah Vihar today. It's an amazing much disputed temple on the border of Thailand and Cambodia. Perched on a high mountain overlooking both countries with views over to Laos. Amazing. Now belonging to Cambodia. Got driven there and shown around by the wonderful Park San. I can thoroughly recommend him as a guide if you ever come to Siem Reap.

One of the must-see ruins inCambodia and already became our favorite! Still a lesser known place, PreahVihear is a UNESCO World Heritage Listed temple built on a mountain at morethan 600m above sea level and is located approx 3 hours away from Siem Reap. Wetook a day tour to Preah Vihear and travelled to Koh Ker on our way back. Alittle tiring but its all worth it! The best part? You can explore and enjoy inpeace. No crowds, no queue, no wait and entrance is FREE! (Except that you willneed to pay for the transport to reach the top)
However, not many travel agents are doing this tour due to its location. Ifyou're looking for a day (or two!) tour to this beautiful place, look for SanPark! With more than 20 years of experiences, he not only knows off the beatenpath attractions, he knows where to bring you for good and affordable localfood too! You'll definitely enjoy his services :)

I highly recommended him for a very good service. Next time I will visit Cambodia, I want to take him again as my tour guide.
When the tuktuk driver did not show this morning for the sunrise at Angkor Wat, Tholrithy arrived at the hotel at 4:00 in the morning and he took me to Angkor Wat using his personal motorcycle. I was able to watch the sunrise at Angkor Wat and collect more than hundred beautiful photos of the sunrise.

Our trip toPreah Vihear was amazing! Especially our tour guide Mr. San (012 788 354) turned it into a verysmooth and enjoyable experience. The ride to the border is fairly long, like 3hours, and the scene is odd at times - you experience a mix of militarypersonnel, monks and local visitors - and it all makes one curious to discoverevery corner of the temple site. The ornaments of the Hindu temple, which isdevoted to deity Shiva, are great to view and you see for instance the Churningof the Ocean of Milk. I highly recommend a tour guide like Mr. San who is veryknowledgable to explain each every level. Surely you will enjoy the stunningviews from the top towards Thailand's Surin state and Cambodia's Preah Vihearprovince. An expperience not to be missed!

Having seen many, many temples prior to Preah Vihear, it's not the best, although some parts and carvings are well preserved.
I went with San Park, who has grotten good reviews by other travellers, and I was also happy with him. It turned out that two other people has booked him for the same day, so I ended up paying only USD 55, + 5 for the motoride up to the entrance to the Temple.
If you take a car, it's USD 25, but there's really no need, as the road is absolutely fine asphalt all the way,but for about 10 meters or something like that. The moto waits for you, so it's USD 5 / return.
Bring your passport, otherwise they will not allow you to buy a ticket. I don't recall the price.

Reviewed 15 July 2014NEW Preah Vihearr is about a 3hr drive from Siem Reap and well worth the effort to get there. The drive is very pleasant as you pass through some gorgeous countryside on the way. We went with San Park who is a very safe driver, reliable, knowledgeable, has a good sense of humour and speaks good English. He can be contacted on: sanpark.angkor@googlemail.com. I would highly recommend him.
Take your passport with you as there is no charge for foreigners (at the moment anyhow) to visit the temple. The return cost to go up to the temple is either $5 each on the back of the moto or $25 per group per ute. We were so glad we took the ute option as it allowed us to take wonderful photos as we wound up (and later down) the hill. I think on the back of a bike I would have been hanging on for dear life!
You are also encouraged (by the driver of the ute) to buy a carton of cigarettes to hand out to the army guards on the way up the hill. This is a very strange thing to do but we decided to go with the flow and the soldiers were very friendly as they collected them.
We spent 2 hours at the temple. I am not a huge historic temple person but this one is well worth the visit. Make sure you go to the very last level as just past this there is a brilliant view out into the valley and Thailand. The temple is spread over several levels and is long and narrow (nearly 800mtrs long). There are also quite a few lovely shady spots to sit down and have a cool drink (sold by several vendors there) if you need.

Apr 12, 2013, 12:39 AM
In January 2013, I visited Siem Reap. Through the recommendation of a friend, I requested the services of San Park to take me to Angkor Wat and other places of interest. I had only two days to visit, so was limited on the number of places to go. San Park customized my itinerary to cover the most important aspects of the region. I can honestly say that San Park is the BEST guide anyone could hire!
From the moment San Park greeted me at my hotel, he was friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable. With his extensive background of the sites, he knew exactly where to take me to see highlights of Angkor Wat and the various temples. I am an avid photographer and very much appreciated San Park's suggestions on the best place to take photos. We also traveled to Tonle Sap, the Floating Village, where I was fascinated by the houses on stilts, the floating homes on the river and the culture and everyday life of the people. Needless to say, I was snapping photos left and right. During a meal, he introduced me to local dishes that were fabulous. Looking at the photos bring back many great memories of my stay in Siem Reap.
I have recommended San Park to many of my friends, one from Paris who subsequently hired him and raved of his services. I could not have asked for a better guide. His website is www.angkor-temple-guides.com/home.aspx.

This was one of the things I knew I reallywanted to see when I was in Cambodia and I was not disappointed. In advance ihired a guide (Kheng Yon) and car/driver and did a 2 day trip (stopped to seeBeng Mealea and Koh Ker temples along the way as well as eating in villages andstaying overnight in a town near Preah Vihear Temple). We went to Preah Vihearfirst thing in the morning and we took the first truck up the mountain, so Iwas the only tourist there! (another truck was coming up when I was leaving).
The road up is very nicely paved, but is extremely steep!!! The 4-wheel drivetrucks up have seats in the back where you ride and hang on! The have a big binof cigarettes so you can buy a carton to toss to the soldiers along the road. Iam not big on cigarettes, but it seems this is kind of expected, so that'sfine.
When we arrived at Preah Vihear Temple, my guide, Yon, let me know that hewould not be allowed to talk to me while we were there, but he would fill me inat the end of the tour. The people at Preah Vihear assigned me a local guideinstead, but they did not have any English speaking guides! Yon let me knowlater that they do this to keep the money local and because they believe thatlocal people know and understand the local history better. I did tip my localguide at the end even though i could not understand a word he said. None ofthis detracted from my experience though (if anything it was just kind ofcomical and let me really explore the temple on my own, which i prefer anyway).My guess is that with the huge increase in tourism there, eventually they willwork out how to better serve foreign tourists, but I kind of like it the way itis right now anyway.
The big differences between this temple and others is
1. the layout & location--it was built by multiple kings over centuries andstretches along the mountain top. The views are just beautiful. There is justsomething about a temple on a mountaintop that you can't beat. I forget whatthe Cambodians were always saying...something about it being the real home forthe gods or something like that.
2. the Military presence and history of conflict. There are soldiers and theirfamilies everywhere all over this temple. I wish i had brought more small bills($1) with me for tips, as i ran out pretty quickly and it is pretty expected totip. I didn't realize that a big part of the reason for this is that they makevery little salary from the government and life can be pretty difficult there.There are also people selling treats that you can buy to give them. Some of thesoldiers spoke some English and were friendly and asked where I was from.Overall, it gives the place a bit of a weird vibe, but I liked it and I neverfelt unsafe there.
A couple of tips:
Guide: I have read on here that it is completely necessary to have a guide forthis trip. I disagree, I think you could hire just a car/driver, especially ifthey spoke English (if they didn't, you will have some communication problemsalong the way, but if you are adventurous, i think you could do it), BUT Ireally loved my guide and definitely think my experience was more full havinghim there. It was the only time on my trip that i hired a guide and so heanswered a lot of my questions about Cambodia in general and about othertemples and whatnot too. Yon was friendly and extremely smart and his Englishwas PERFECT and because we both are teachers, we had some great conversationsabout education in our two countries. I let him know i wanted to try all kindsof foods that I could, so when we were at restaurants (usually where no onespoke english), he would order me interesting things to try, which was great. Icould probably have managed on my own, but it would have been a littledifficult sometimes.
Hire a guide way in advance and keep checking back to make sure you are stillbooked. My first guide I reserved ended up double booking, but refered me toYon, who was AWESOME and his price was really reasonable. If you want hiscontact info, feel free to private message me.

“Beautiful carvings, wonderful countryside journey”
Reviewed December 15, 2012
The Hindu carvings at the temple were wonderfully well-preserved, similar in detail to Bantrey Samre. The views from the top of the temple were also fantastic.
While the temple itself was great, I think I enjoyed the 3.5 hr car drive to the temple even more. It was great taking a quiet drive through the lush Cambodian countryside, especially after navigating the crush of tourists at Angkor Thom the day before. When you arrive at the base of the mountain, you have the option of taking a moto (for $5) or a pickup (for $25). I'd recommend taking the pickup as there are some parts of the mountain that are super steep (though quite thrilling!).
Based on the suggestion of another Tripadvisor reviewer, I booked the day trip from Siem Reap to Preah Vihear Temple through San Park at www.angkor-temple-guides.com. He did an excellent job explaining the mythology in the carvings and also has a wealth of knowledge about Cambodian culture.
Due to the remote location, the soldiers and families stationed here are very appreciative of any gifts. I'd suggest bringing some small gifts like granola bars or nice pens for the children.
