About Tour Guide Thom S.
I was born in a small village in Cambodia. I had to work hard to support his family, even as a child. I worked as a fish handler in Thailand, then as a dishwasher and receptionist in Siem Reap. I was able to get a scholarship to study at university, where I graduated with a degree in TESOL. I used to volunteered with Journeys Within Organization Community, the National Federation of UNESCO Association and World Vision International in Cambodia. I have started a tour guide since 2018 and a social enterprise named Travel to Inspire to help support poor students in rural areas. I believe that education is the key to changing people's lives. As tour guide i have leaded over 1000 groups of tourists come to visit Angkor Wat temple as the world heritage site. I know about Cambodia history, temple history, temple architecture, place to eat Cambodian food and great spot to take photos. I am confident that I can provide you with the best tours that are customized to your interests. I would be delighted to help you enjoy your stay in Cambodia. Please let me be your guide!

“Thom was an amazing person!”
Thom was very communicative, shared his contact details, came to the airport on time, and offered me food/coffee while on the way to the hotel. I felt I was in safe hands throughout my journey. Thom also has an excellent command of English which made my communication really easy as well. Overall, I highly recommend everyone heading to Cambodia to go to none other than Thom for a safe, memorable, and peaceful trip to cherish.

Sarak N.
Hello everyone! My name is Sarak. I am an English speaking tour guide in Siem Reap, Angkor Wat, Cambodia. I've been doing my job for 15 years, taking people visit to Angkor Wat and other interesting places around Cambodia. I do explain about the local history, culture, religion. People say that I have good eyes for photo taking. Please contact me for your holiday in Cambodia. Thank you very much. Here are the reviews from my past guests: Guest1: Sarak was recommended to us by someone who had travelled to Siem Reap pre-pandemic and we're so grateful for the recommendation. He's very patient and knowledgeable and we learnt such a great deal from him about the country's rich history (most of our own had been confined to the late twentieth- and twenty-first century). We had experienced some trouble with purchasing tickets online and Sarak drove us to the ticket office to pick them up and the process was seamless. We did a one-day tour with Sarak, which included the Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, Bayon, and more. Sarak speaks excellent English and is really knowledgeable about the cultural and religious history of the various places we visited. The trip was comfortable and pleasant, and it was great not to have to worry about transport. Definitely recommending him to others who intend to visit Siem Reap. Date of experience: November 2022 Guest2: I spent 2 wonderful days with Sarak. He showed me in a private tour all the importante temples around Siem Reap. 1st day: Angkor Wat, Bayon Temple, Chau Say Tevoda, Ta Nei, Ta Prohm and on 2nd day: Preah Khan, Neak Poan, East Mebon, Banteay Samre and Banteay Srei. He knows all the historical details and history and all legends and stories with Hinduism & Buddhism gods and religion. He is a really good storyteller and it isn't boring to hear all the details. He linked the stories with the different temples and the appropriate rock carvings. The driver drove us safely from temple to temple. Back in the vehicle he was waiting for us with water and refreshing towels. We had Lunch in local Restaurants. The food was delicious! I am happy and satisfied that I could do the two tours with Sarak. I am very happy to recommend him! Date of experience: February 2023
