Back on dry land after a day touring a floating village on the Tonle Sap, I tagged along with Naomi and Hed to the Angkor Temples. Although I have been to most so many times I’ve lost count, they always blow my mind. Here are some of the latest virtual tours of some of the temples.
The largest religious structure in the world and best known of all the Angkor Temples, Angkor Wat is a great example of the power and wealth of the ancient Khmers.

Some of the left over stones at Angkor Wat. There is constant work to reconstruct and study many of the Angkor Temples.
The Bayon, one of the more unique Angkor Temples with it’s 216 gigantic faces was built between the 12-13th centuries.
The Bayon is definitely a favorite for tourist.
Buddha sits quietly in outer west section of the Bayon.

Ta Prom, the infamous temple where they have left some of the trees to show how it looked when it was found.

Bantey Samre, possibly my favorite temple. It’s small, out of the way, but one of the most intact Angkor temples, guaranteed to only have 2-3 three other people there, instead of the thousands that other temples get.

I’m off on a bike trip around northern Cambodia and will get some more things posted when I return on New Years!
