Light & Sound Extravaganza at Angkor Wat!

A new attraction will be added to Cambodia’s famous World Heritage site Angkor Wat: a light & Sound extravaganza.

The grand show, dubbed “The Legend of Angkor Wat: When History Comes to Life“, will feature over 150 stage performers, a 12×30-metre waterscreen and a variety of special effects. Designed to give audience a more vivid picture of the past glory of the ancient Khmer Kingdom as well as the beliefs and lifestyles of its people, the show will take place daily from November 24 to January 20, 2008, on the lawns behind Angkor Wat (its east side).According to Bayon CM Organizer, a Cambodian-Thai joint venture that runs the show, there will be no use of explosives for special effects as that can harm the World Heritage site. The performance, both its content and operation, has reportedly been approved by Apsara Authority, the agency that oversees the protection and management of Angkor and other historical sites in Siem Reap. Tickets for the one-hour show are priced at US$ 60.00 and US$ 80.00 - the latter, if it’s not for the front-row seats, will include an international buffet dinner at 7pm, an hour before the show starts.  Fo
