Bayon Temple: Visit The Angkor Temples.

Boy oh boy have I seen some temples during my world travels! Particularly through my extended wanderings across China, India, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. But in terms of grandeur and scale, nothing compares to The Angkor Temples in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

The temples of Angkor are epic in proportion, intricate in detail and sublime in symmetry. These incredible structures are the result of Cambodia’s ancient rulers battling to outdo each other with each ambitious creation. If you’re new to the whole Asian temple thing, you could easily spend an entire week here ticking them all off.

Srah Srang Lake: Visit The Angkor Temples.

I’ve been lucky enough to chalk off a bunch of these amazing temples over two separate visits. My first experience came way back in 2015 when I concentrated on the so-called big 3, including a dramatic sunset arrival at Angkor Wat.

In early 2020 I dove deeper, exploring a number of lesser known ruins. This included an incredible trip out to the more isolated temple of Banteay Srei.
