A lot bigger than expected. Gates in all 4 directions are good to check out too. Bought some beautifully coloured temple carvings etchings in there. I reckon you could easily bargain them down to around $2 - $3, depending on rice paper size. These etchings are also available elsewhere.

You can see big roots from the trees on top of the temple. unfortunately these roots are destroying the temples. Some of the trees were already cut. This temple is under reconstruction , most of the structures are not there.

Smaller than Angkor Wat but just as beautiful and well preserved. Make this one of the 3 or 4 temples you visit in this area.

can we believe that it used to be a city? build by end of 12th century and our generation still can see, touch and feel it :)

This is another in the series of temples in the Angkor Watt complex of structures. Plan for a full day of viewing. Early morning is best for this site because it gets shot and muggy in the afternoons.

I loved this area, especially Bayon with the faces, just amazing. We were there in may and it was incredibly hot but I meant that it wasn't so busy ( though I can't compare, but we didn't find it busy). We decided against a guide because after watching others we thought in the tremendous heat we just might get "over"... More
