Ankor Wat

After a brief stop in Vientiane I was off to Siem Reap and Ankor Wat. Ankor Wat complex was really amazing. I would say this one is one you have to see for yourself, but there were so many tourist there it might almost be better in pictures.

Me with some carved reliefs..

Most people don’t realize how big the Ankor Complex is.  There are tons of temple sites and it takes at least 3 days to go them all. There are a ton more pictures on my flickr page:

Warning: Every cab driver is on the take in Siem Reap.  You have less than a 50% chance of going where you ask unless you tell them you have a reservation.  Good luck.
