Starting in 2018, HelloAngkor.com is a self-funded and maintained site solely focused on Cambodia and its amazing ancient archeological sites, people and culture, natural wonders, and attractions.
Cambodia is home to the world’s largest religious complex, the UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat drawing visitors from across the world. Beyond Angkor Wat, the ancient city of Angkor offers a journey into an ancient empire that built the world’s largest pre-industrial city. The ancient Khmer Empire can be traced across the nation with spectacular and remote ancient sites, and even further beyond into neighboring countries. Diving even further back in time, it’s still possible to explore remains of ancient sites preceding the Khmer Empire dating back to the 7th century AD.
The country also hosts an amazing array of natural wonders including beaches, islands, mountains, waterfalls, and rare wildlife all waiting to be explored.
The wrapper to all of that is the amazing Cambodian culture which is a journey unto itself. It’s the hope and goal of HelloAngkor.com to bring all that together and share it with the world.

Notes regarding maps
– The site brief is that local/official guides are recommended and generally imperative for sites outside the tourist areas. For official guides see Khmer Angkor Tour Guide Association.
– It’s important to note that some remote sites may not be cleared of mines, may be generally unsafe, or may be located in sensitive areas. Again, a local guide is a must.
– The map will cluster markers which are annoying on small screens but without doing so it’s just an unusable sea of markers.
– You can also locate sites by district, commune, and village (based on the older French conventions and set to upgrade in the near future)
– Tag sets are still being added (such as temple groups, structure type eg Bridges etc).
– If you have updated info to share on a site, or find an error with any data, please reach out via the facebook page

Further Credits
Only possible with respect to all past conservators and researchers who made it so easy for us today (Parmentier, Marchal, Goloubew, Laur, Groslier, and many more). The early French conservator’s efforts in mapping and recording the empire in conjunction with the local Khmer are remarkable. Extending upon that was the amazing work of Bruno Bruguier and his team, the people of Cambodia themselves, and APSARA.
