Angkor Wat Photos

Angkor Wat (constructed the 11th and 12th centuries) covers over 154 square miles and has more than 100 temples. Included in the complex are Angkor Thom, Phnom Bakheng, and Ta Prohm which is unrestored with huge trees growing on top of or through many of the buildings. It is an amazing complex considering the time it was constructed and should be on the short list of places to visit. Angkor Wat is very close to the Siem Reap, a surprisingly modern city built to accomodate the rapidly increasing number of tourists now that the horrific times under the Khmer Rouge are over.
