Cambodia - Other Temples Day 2

These pictures are from our last day of temple viewing and climbing with our guide.  We went to some temples that were a little out of the ways and off the beaten path.  It was interesting to drive through the Cambodian countryside on the way there.

The last thing we did was go up in this tethered balloon to see Angkor Wat at sunrise.  Very touristy and gimmicky but cool to see Angkor Wat from a different view.

Cambodia - Other Temples Day 1

We saw more temples than we could count in the 2 days that we had our guide. Ta Prohm with all the overgrown trees was our favorite, which you may recognize from the movie Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie.  These are the other temples besides Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom from our first day with our guide.

Cambodia - Angkor Thom

Angkor Thom was the capital of the Angkor empire and the location of several temples. Angkor Thom is enclosed by a giant wall and covers an area of 9 square kilometers.  We were lucky enough to visit in the early morning before the crowds arrived and it was so peaceful. 

This is a really cool site to see all the different temples in 3D: http://www.yellowpages-cambodia.com/images/maps/angkor-temples-3d-map.html
