Charts
angkorguide.net now contains more than 100 pages. Let's clear it! Now there are three new charts:
Angkor Wat
Once more I've re-arranged 'Angkor Wat':
Now there are 14 pages + 4 photo albums + a download.
Angkor Wat - the crown of Angkor
Devata & Apsara
It is unbearable: Males, and most of the women too, can't stand it that females may have their own dignity, and drag them through the mud. This happens every time when a Devata (goddess or deity) is called an 'Apsara'. If a person is called an 'apsara' in Cambodia, 'she cannot be a good woman'!
I hope my page can help that more people know about this common mistake.

Feedback from Kent Davis
"A great new article and I appreciate your recognition of Trudy's research and my own. I especially like the chronological systematization of your inquiry in your new article. Also, as always, your photos give visitors the experience of being there so they can draw their own conclusions. More please! (-:"

About angkorguide.net
My work is based on my research in Angkor which started in 2000, and my experience both as an Angkor Tour Guideand as a Coach of Tour Guides in Angkor, Thailand and Burma (Myanmar). It contains the essence of A practical guide to ANGKOR, my book which is being published. It also takes into account all extensive titles about Angkor published within the last ten years.
The website wants to recover Angkor, its dignity, its treasures & its blessings.
- exploring Angkor by presenting the monuments
- paving the way to better understanding Angkor
Almost all we know about Angkor is what we see with our eyes: architecture, atrefacts, and inscriptions. Any other Angkorian sources have vanished. We have to get the details into a context. And we need some knowlwdge about history and mythology.
My concept is simple.
- Understanding by visiting,
- Explaining architecture, function, & patterns on the spot.
- Questions & insights will raise en route.
- For this background knowledge will be on offer.
Many thanks for to those who helped me to find this information. I will be grateful for any further experience & impression, hint, advice, reports, or even new pages, which can upgrade this website.
