Photos - Angkor Wat and Bagan

   

Angkor Wat is one of the larger temple complexes at Siem Reap in Cambodia. It is actually just one of many structures and the site itself stretches over several square miles and includes many temple complexes.

You can (and I did) spend a full week exploring the main and several satellite areas from Siem Reap. I was able to rent a moped and drive myself around. This is a true opportunity to see a place before it's overrun by tourists and with little supervision from authorities.
