If there was one place on this trip that I would convince all travelers to visit, this would be it, Angkor Wat. Think the 'Pyramids of Egypt', the rise and fall of the 'Roman Empire'. This is the home to the Khmer dynasty. And what a mystical place. Our pictures will attempt to show where we went and what we saw. But check out the videos and additional info to prepare plans for a visit yourself.
Angkor Wat and the additional Khmer temples are located next to the city of Siem Riep. A very affordable place to stay for weeks once you arrive. And with flights through Bangkok, Thailand, you could make an excursion to some of the worlds best beaches. Next year toss aside Mexico and make your way for South East Asia!!
Listen to Ian Wright introduce Angkor to get an understanding of the size of this place. I have a video that is intended to listen to the noises at sunset, the most mystical time. And if you are so intrigued an hour long documentary from the BBC, this is excellent.
enjoyed the documentary :-)
ReplyDeleteI love that place. Spiritual, calming and gigantically huge. Brings back memories.
