"Recommended Angkor Wat Attractions" Hot Air Balloon Takes Off: Overlooking the Sky View of Angkor

The opportunity to go to Angkor Wat came from the travel agency's eagerness to clear the group. This group of Angkor Wat was only two people short of the group. A few days before the departure, the travel agency sent a special package for clearing the group through our advertising business. Wendy and I I have long wanted to go to Angkor Wat to explore the monuments, so I immediately confirmed the itinerary and set off. From decision to departure... less than 72 hours.But the only thing I worry about is the hot air balloon trip, alas...

I am a true fear of heights!Basically, the height of the chair has already made me very frustrated, let alone such a height. @@

You guys shared that the hot air balloons in Angkor Wat are operated by the Sokha Hotel Group. When you take a hot air balloon, you don’t want to take it. It is mainly for safety reasons. It is usually provided during the windless season. Let’s go The season is February, which coincides with the dry season of Angkor Wat, so after running the itinerary of the Sword Pagoda in the morning, the tour guide took us to the hot air balloon in the afternoon.

Each hot air balloon can carry 15-20 tourists, so they will be boarded in batches; in addition, there are signs outside the lounge stating which famous buildings and scenery of Angkor Wat can be overlooked after the hot air balloon is lifted off. Including Little Angkor Town, the temples on the Bakken Mountain, and West Baray Lake (the largest artificial lake in the country), so I suggest you take a look while you wait, take a hot air balloon later, and take pictures at the right time!

This hot air balloon is a bit different. It does not rely on hot or cold air to control its ascent or descend. The yellow balloon itself is already filled with hydrogen and so on, and then uses a steel cable to control its height.When the balloon was lifted to a height of about 180 meters, it was possible to see the scenery 20 kilometers away. Because Ben Lun’s fear of heights broke out after leaving the ground, he only noticed Little Angkor Town.Fortunately, Wendy helped me to take a lot of photos. The bare land is not as green as the rice fields in the rainy season, but at least there will be more opportunities for clear skies, and it's worth it!

Travel agencies will often pack hot air balloons in the itinerary. For those who are traveling alone, the ticket price is 15 yuan per adult, which is provided for your reference.
