In a statement on February 17, the ANA said that in addition to preventing damage to the ancient structure, the decision will facilitate repair work on Angkor Thom’s Ta Kav (West) Gate being carried out by Cambodian experts.
“It is forbidden to ride motorbikes on Angkor Thom’s rampart, except with explicit permission from the ANA. Permission to travel on Angkor Thom’s rampart is reserved for pedestrians and cyclists,” it said.
