Cambodian Cultural Village — Attraction in Siem Reap

Review: Cambodian Green Angkor Garden or Phum Wapator

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Cambodian Green Angkor Garden, also known as Phum Wapator, and I must say it was a delightful experience. This hidden gem nestled in the heart of Cambodia offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Upon entering the garden, I was immediately captivated by the lush greenery and vibrant colors that surrounded me. The attention to detail and the meticulous maintenance of the garden were evident in every corner. The pathways were well-maintained, making it easy to explore the various sections of the garden.

One of the highlights of my visit was the diverse collection of plants and flowers. The garden boasts a wide array of local flora, showcasing the natural beauty of Cambodia. From tropical palms to exotic orchids, the plant selection was both impressive and educational. Each plant was labeled with its scientific name and a brief description, which added an educational element to the visit.

The garden also features several thematic sections, each with its own unique charm. Whether it was the serene lotus pond or the aromatic herb garden, every area had its own distinct ambiance. I particularly enjoyed the traditional Khmer architecture incorporated into the design, which added an authentic touch to the overall experience.

I also tried on Cambodian costumes which is called Sbai. Dress up gracefully with my friends and sightseeing the place while wearing the Sbai Khmer.

The staff at Cambodian Green Angkor Garden were friendly and knowledgeable. They were always ready to answer any questions and provide insightful information about the garden and its surroundings. Their passion for the environment and their commitment to preserving the natural beauty of Cambodia was truly inspiring.

In addition to the garden itself, Cambodian Green Angkor Garden offers various amenities to enhance visitors' experience. There is a cozy café where you can relax and enjoy a refreshing beverage while taking in the picturesque views. The gift shop offers a range of souvenirs and locally-made crafts, providing an opportunity to support local artisans.

Overall, my visit to Cambodian Green Angkor Garden was a memorable one. It's a place that offers a perfect blend of serenity, natural beauty, and cultural immersion. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a photography lover, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, I highly recommend taking the time to explore this hidden oasis...

The name of this place used to be called “Cambodian Cultural Village”, whereas now it is known as “Angkor Green Gardens”. The new name, too, makes a huge sense as you enter the premise, you will feel as though you’re in the Angkor jungle/forest.

Unfortunately, the premise needs a huge investment as so many places inside need renovations. Due to unprecedented conditions (pandemics), Angkor Green Gardens left unattended and closed until recently.

When we went in there, the tickets were free. However, to be able to see the museum and the waxed-statues, you need to buy the ticket for an affordable price (5.000 riel altogether).

The premise still preserved its original spirit and vibe. It would have been awesome to see those sketches and plays in particular stations. I hope once it becomes populated, the owners of this place reconsider bringing all the talents back in this premise.

You don’t have to worry about stations to rest as there many stations for you to grab cold drinks or eat food.

Next to this beautiful place is the Angkor Eye! The ideal time to visit this place would be to see the sunset. The ride is around 18 minutes and it costs $12 for adults, $6 for kids (free for kids under three). The ticket fare for local people is $5 for adults and $2.5 for kids (free for kids under three). For more information about the Angkor eye, please visit their website and read the reviews online.

We wish you to have a fun trip...

A must visit.

Priced at 5$ for locals n 15$ for foreigners but if a local brings u than he/she can bring your entry ticket back to the guard to sign than return to the ticket booth to get 5$ commission.

It's worth the price.

They have lots of shows (2pm onwards) and a massive show at 7pm every Saturday and Sunday that gives you a big picture of the Angkor timea background. Not to be missed

Make sure to do this place before your visit to the Angkor temples.

It a really big park-like place so make sure you are well rested. U can rent a twin bicycle.

The park is really beautiful. I might suggest that u go there at 9am till 8am if without kids so u can first visit the cultural parts and than have lunch in the restaurant and rest a bit than go for the shows from 2.35pm onwards.

If with kids who are young than go at 2pm and definitely bring a prem/stroller or rollerblades or something.

If been here before than Skipp the shows and make it a picnic. Bring some snack or finger food some board games, a mat and sun lotion.

It's really beautiful. Most if not all the national landmarks and miniatured are displayed, a few nice gardens, a mini mini Zoo is hidden at the side near he Kongfu Panda statue, houses on stills n on the lake and many many more.

Don't miss it.

I've been to Siem Reap loads of times and don't really visit Angkor temples anymore (25$ an now 37$ is a lot of money after visiting a few times) but cultural village is just awesome. After seeing the shows once or twice and being asked to act 2 times I just enjoy the park. It's worth paying for the...
