An Elephant ride at the Temples of Angkor in Siem Reap, Cambodia is a great way to soak up the atmosphere under the shade of the huge trees and also offers a different view on the temples. The first elephant ride starts in the morning at 08:00 from the South Gate of Angkor Thom to the Bayon Temple.

(a great way to see Bayon from a different perspective)

The elephants then are stationed next to the Bayon Temple for rides around Bayon temple. The last elephant ride is at 10:30 from Bayon back to the South Gate.

In the afternoon from 16:00 onwards the elephants move to the entrance of Phnom Bakeng from where they transport passengers up the hill for sunset.

There are about 10 elephants available for 2 to 3 passengers per elephant. The elephant rides takes about 20 minutes and can be booked on spot directly.
