What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the gentle hum of the Angkor Eye as we stepped into the cool, air-conditioned cabin. It’s a bit surreal—one moment you’re on a dusty Siem Reap street dodging tuk-tuks, and the next you’re gliding up above it all. The ride itself lasts about 18 minutes, which is just enough time to spot Angkor Wat peeking through the trees (it’s about 4 km away, but you can see its towers if you squint), and to trace the lazy curve of the Siem Reap River below.

Our guide at the entrance gave us a quick tip: try to catch a sunset slot if you can. The light gets soft and golden, and you’ll see locals heading home on scooters, their laughter floating up faintly even from this height. You might even catch a whiff of grilled corn from one of the nearby street vendors if the wind’s right. The cabins fit four people max—cozy but not cramped—and there’s a little shelf for your phone or camera (trust me, you’ll want photos). If you’ve got bags, there’s a spot to leave them safely at the entrance office.
