Preah Ang Thom is an 8 meters (26 ft) tall statue of the reclining Buddh reaching nirvana. The statue is carved into a huge natural sandstone boulder to which a modern staircase has been added along with a shelter over the Buddha. It is a very sacred and special site for all Cambodians and there are always patrons visiting the site and at times becoming quite busy.

I had a wonderful private tour to Kulen mountain with Tann. My original booking was for Kbal Spean but Tann convinced me to visit Kulen mountain instead and assured me that we could do it within my time constraints and without a significant increase in cost. I am SO glad that I took his advice! We saw amazing viewpoints, waterfalls and the 1000 lingas. Tann took me to great spots for photos and even took great pictures of me. He was thoughtful, charming and full of interesting information. He even provided water and local fruits and snacks. I truly had an enjoyable day and felt secure and entertained without being overly rushed. I highly recommend this tour to other travelers.
Great trip. Lots of things to see. Lots of great views, you can fill your photo album. Sopheat Rath was very helpful and accommodating. Great lunch place (not included) too!
Mr Tann was a fantastic guide, and showed real passion about Cambodia. It was great to get out of Siem Reap and see the countryside and the waterfall. A must do when staying in Siem Reap
Great trip to several interesting places with excellent guide Tann. At the end we enjoyed refreshing swim under the waterfall. Recomended!
Very pleasant and eventful day visiting amazing cliffs, reclining Buddha and gorgeous waterfalls. Our guide Tann was so resourceful and helpful with taking excellent photos. I would recommend thi tour to everyone.
It was amazing day visiting beautiful places with a wonderful tour guide Tann and driver Pan. We really enjoyed the time spent together. Tann was very considerate and helpful and offered to take a tons of beautiful photos. Highly recommend tour.
Tann Sopheap is a very kind, polite, and most importantly, professional tourist guide. He arranged the tour perfectly for us. We saw two more temples far from the city. One of the temple was beautiful with its well preserved carvings and inscriptions. The other one was impressive because it remains how it was when people found it in the first place. No restoration. Every building was clad in green with trees as their guardians. They are both beautiful and impressive. The best thing is there was few people coming. So the whole trip was peaceful and quiet. We can appreciate everything in slow fashion. No rush at all. The waterfall and one thousand linga river are impressive as well. Worthy to visit! Highly recommended!
Wonderful tour with guide Tann and our driver Pan. We went to the most beautiful look out point, reclining Buddha and 1000 linga, where we got some fantastic pics of the area. Kulen waterfall was flowing strongly due to the recent rains which also made for some good pictures as well as the option to swim and cool down. Tann was very knowledgable, not only of the area but also shared information on Cambodia in general. Stopped for a great lunch to end off this wonderful enjoyable day. Thank you.
This whole experience with Tann as the tour guide and Pan as the driver was beyond excellent. Pan drove us to each spot carefully and efficiently. Tann provided very good explanation and education of the sites; he made sure all our needs were met and was patient and kind. This tour more than met our expectations and were could not have had a better day. It was perfect:)
Had a great day, learned a lot and experienced real Cambodian culture. Saw some amazing views and ate lovely food. Highly recommend this tour
Tann was an excellent tour guide. Thank you for the lovely photos as well. His suggestions were also good. The driver Mann was so good as well. The cool swabs were amazing
The tour was excellent and exceeded expectations! Our tour guide Tann was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. I highly recommend this tour.
Today was an amazing day, thanks to our knowledgeable and wonderful tour guide, Tann, who gave us the information and historical facts about the things we were seeing. I most especially enjoyed our bamboo trai ride, the bats, and the duck eggs. Tann is a very pleasant guy with good command of English. I will definitely recommend him and your company to our friends.
I had the most incredible experience on The Kulen Mountain Waterfall tour! The tour guide was exceptionally helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we visited all the highlights, including the Big Buddha, the reclining Vishnu at The 1000 Linga river, and even the top hill. The atmosphere was peaceful and the scenery was simply breathtaking. This tour truly made my day and will remain a cherished memory for year to come. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!
It was an amazing experience together with our great guide Mr Tann. The drive up to Kulen Mountains was beautiful and stopped along the way at each key vantage point. We had a wonderful view over the valley and some of the rock mountains before continuing our journey onto the beautiful river with the 1,000-year-old Buddhist engraving located under the water. After the wonderful landscapes, we drove further into the park and found an outstanding version of a lying Buddha at a very culturally important site. It was great to spend some time there, and appreciate the history of what was built nearly 500 years ago. Next stop was the great waterfalls, which we saw many people bathing. At each point of the way, Mr Tann gave us great information and history about the area, as well as a continuing dialogue of information which was very helpful to us. We stopped at a great rest for lunch on the way back and that was also fantastic. Overall an amazing experience, and we really appreciate what Mr Tann did for us. It’s our first time in Cambodia, but we will be back again, and will send many friends to see Mr Tann as we want to experience more sites and interesting parts about the amazing Cambodian Khemer culture.
This tour is the best. We visited three places at that park like great Budha, 1000 linga river and waterfall. This tour is make my trip unforgettable experience with my friends. Pick up and drop off overall is good and good price. Strongly recommended to anyone who wants to visit this place!
This was my 2nd tour this week with Pheap from Angkor Buddy Tour. He did not disappoint as he took us to many beautiful spots for pictures. The view of the cliffs were breathtaking. The waterfall was beautiful but I happen to choose a day that was quite crowded. I got enough pictures to say I saw the waterfall of the sacred mountain of Kulen. This was a private tour, so Pheap extended his support to ask me what else I would like to do and for lunch I requested a real Cambodian cuisine in the village. My heart was happy to be able to enjoy and experience our lunch together. Once again, Angkor Buddy Tours surpass a mediocre tour and provided excellent service.
The 1000 Linga River Tour was so educational! Tann shared his knowledge on the history and symbolism of the statues. The tour was concluded by the Kulen Waterfall. The waterfall was beautiful and refreshing. Pan drove our 15 passenger bus up the Kulen mountain with ease. I felt very safe with Pan behind the wheel.
Wow, just amazing! This is my second trip to Cambodia. The first time was about 20 years ago. This time we decided to hire Angkor Buddy Tour as our guide. I traveled with a large group of people and our tour guide was patient and flexible to accommodate our schedule. Our guide at Kulen Mountain gave us some suggestions on how to follow the local customs. The waterfall was incredible. The Angkor Buddy Tour was the perfect choice for us and will recommend this company to my friends and colleagues when visiting Cambodia.
The Kulen National Park is beautiful and it was so cool to see the ancient carvings of Vishnu and the 1000 linga beneath the crystal clear water of the river. Swimming in the waterfall was very refreshing after a hot day on the mountain, and our tour guide even knew a shortcut to get to the waterfall! The walk to the waterfall was pretty easy but the stairs leading down to it are quite steep, so bring some non-slippery shoes for the climb.
Angkor Buddy tours was the best experience. The Tour was extremely knowledgeable & friendly. The sites were amazing. I highly recommend Angkor Buddy tours the adventurous soles.
Another beautiful tour! The scenery and views on the way up the mountain are stunning, Our guide, Tann, took photos for us. He is a brilliant photographer! If you are interested in photography ask for Tann when you book the tour. The waterfall was beautiful but the most amazing thinks is the carved creek bed that leads to the waterfall. Excellent tour and tour guide!
Amazing trip with perfect English speaking guide. What amazing time . thanks for all ❤️ Highly recommend ❤️
This is the 2nd tour I've done with Tanm on this trip. Like other reviews he is incredibly knowledgeable and has so many stories to share. Also he takes you to places and allows you to experience wonderful local culture. Brilliant photograper too. Highly recommended
We had a wonderful, beautiful and interesting day with our guide Tann. Punctually at 7:40 we started. Even the trip overland was great and very appealing. First we drove to the viewpoint Pongh Tag Kho. Simply incredible: what a view of the green mountains. Then we went to the river with the sacred stone reliefs - wonderful. We continued to the temple and the highlight was certainly the waterfall with picnic and swimming. The picnic was a dream with many typical local treats. Tann is a highly educated connoisseur of culture and speaks perfect English. We learned a lot about the culture and history. We can only highly recommend him Brigitte & Berni L. from Germany
Must-see excursion to Siem reap! Many thanks to the guide Mr sopheaprath for his very clear explanations and to Mr Pat for his very safe driving! I recommend +++
