Good show that showcases the Khmer history and dancing. Some gymnastic/ acrobatic acts were quite dangerous so bravo to the performers who train and do such risky moves to entertain the audience. You can really feel that the performers are going all out to please the audience. I wish that there was some safety measures for them but still, kudos to them.
There is actually no reservation for seat B. Everyone sits in A, most of them are tour groups. The driver picks up and returns to the performance venue on time around 1845 and leaves the show in 1930.
The special effects are quite shocking. I sincerely admire the performers’ wonderful performances and have a deeper understanding of Angkor culture.
Very touching and wonderful performance, and finally you can take photos with the performers
The actor is very dedicated, but many special effects are really not good, and the visual beauty needs to be strengthened. The most foolish thing is that the curtain part is really unnecessary.
nice show, pick-up on time around 6.15pm. surrounded by mainland tour group. location limited with tuk tuk service, lucky get the last tuk tuk with cost USD 4
If you’re going to Angkor Wat, you must go to see this drama. It’s so cool and all actors are playing great. But there are so many Mainlander over your side.... and they are so dam* noise!!!!
Good to visit if you have some time and kids can enjoy but content of the show is not clear and misleading

The performance is very good. I can understand the Angkor dynasty from the performance, but it is best not to wear shorts and other clothing. It seems to be not very clean. I have always seen that I have always felt something biting and itchy.
Professional performance, good 3D effect, the actors are very serious, the venue is a bit old, and I look forward to a new and bright performance hall in the future. Through the performance, you can get a preliminary understanding of the evolution history of the Angkor Dynasty.
