-home-photos-cambodia-n.thailand-phuket-malaysia1-singapore-malaysia2-indonesia
(day 1 to 4)
Day
1: Bangkok-Siem Reap
I arrived in Siem Reap. Met and greeted by the
representative touristguide.
Afternoon,we visited Angkor Wat Temple and watched the
sun set.The celebrated temples of Angkor are Cambodia's greatest tourist
attraction. The 100 or so temples are the sacred remains of what was once
a much larger administrative and religious centre, and were built between
the 9th and 13th centuries to glorify a succession of Khmer kings. Most of
Angkor was abandoned in the 15th century and the temples were gradually
cloaked by forest. The site became the source of scholarly interest in the
late 19th century after the publication of Voyage à Siam et dans le
Cambodge by French naturalist Henri Mouhot. Efforts were undertaken to
clear away the jungle vegetation that threatened to completely destroy the
monuments, and restoration continues today.
Apart from Angkor Wat, two other magnificent temples to visit are the
Bayon and Ta Prohm. Accommodation and food can be found in the town of
Siem Reap, only a few km from the temples.
