2- Ta Keo temple, it is our second best option and best for large group up to 300 pax or bigger on request. Ta keo temple consist of a single large block structure. What concerned most about Te Keo for event is the cost, the decoration and AV setup are double of other temples.
3- Kravan temple, it is the closest, easiest and cheapest temple to set up the temple dining event. In the good weather season, dining platform is not needed. Kravan temple structure is just like a stage backdrop neatly aligned.
4- Banteay Samre temple, it is the furthest around 25km. The impression and costings are similar to Kravan temple. Normally Banteay Samre is considered as the last choice when all other temples are already booked.

Then you can relax to work on the catering aspects like decorations, menus, drink list, performance but again all must strictly complied with the permission elements (check our past Angkor temple dinner permission letter here).
– On the event execution day, it is all in a rush, the requested temple are only allowed to start setting up from 12:00 noon only, therefore make sure to use only professional caterers and event company who understand well the processes and procedures.
