Visiting Angkor, a few kilometers outside Sieam Reap is a highlight for most visitors to Cambodia, and Southeast Asia.
The complex covers a vast area, however there are three main temples everyone visits: Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Ta Prohm.

Great pics. I have many from some of the exact same areas, and it really takes me back. I hope to visit again one day. Even though we spent three whole days exploring, we still missed a good portion of it. That's the one thing that really surprised me about Angkor; I honestly had no clue at the ridiculous size of it all. We could have spent a week there with relative ease.
Beautiful pics Dave. I'm considering a trip to Cambodia in the coming months and these pictures might get me there sooner.
Amazing!! I'm planning to go Ankor in Sep. Had ticket already. I've heard so many great things about Ankor but so much horrifying stories about Siemreap too. But this pictures are just making me forget all bad things. :)
Nice pics!
Matt – I had a great time in Cambodia, and Angkor wasn't the main reason! My favorite experiences involved riding around on the back of motos through rurual villages, and seeing the countryside.
This is really cool. I am usually not one for ancient ruins but can't imagine skipping this.
Ta Prohm (Tomb Raider temple) was my favorite in Angkor, but overall, I had a greater sense of awe at Tikal in Guatemala for some reason. Maybe because there were less people, and the main complex of temples weren't spread so far apart. There weren't any pestering kids either.
@Matthew Kyhnn Wow your planning a trip to Cambodia? you might want to check out http://siemreap.info/ well it would give you more info about the famous Angkor WAT and some accommodations and dining during your stay in the beautiful country
Great pictures of the temples. It’s such a lovely place and being there feels otherworldly at times.
