Temples at Angkor

There are two ways to get to Siem Reap from the capital, bus or a boat up the Tonlé Sap. Siem Reap is a home base for those exploring the Angkor Temples. Angkor Wat is the largest and most recognizable of the temples. The Bayon is a temple with faces on towers and Ta Prohm was kept as it was 'discovered' by the French. I got to explore Ta Prohm mostly on my own as other left to go watch the sunset over Angkor Wat. At Angkor you can see architectural wonders and play Indiana Jones at the other ruin sites.

There are a lot of photos from Angkor. I apologize in advance.

Monkeys!



Look as I masterfully cover up the green tarp on the front of the wat with a palm tree!



Taking photos from the back of a moto is an important skill in Southeast Asia.
