3 and a half days in Siem Reap makes for a really nice long weekend. I've seen many kinds of ancient architecture and ruins, but still, the temples of Angkor are nothing short of spectacular. Moreover, while the architectural styles bear certain similiarities, they are all uniquely different in some ways - the smiling faces at the Bayon in Angkor Thom, the iconic towers of Angkor Wat, the forest-engulfed 'Tomb Raider' temples of Ta Phrom, the mountain temple of Phnom Bakheng, the splendid and intricately carved motifs in Bantay Srei, and the amazing waterfalls and river-bed carvings at Kabal Spean - Everyone will find their favourite! We(My wife & I, and for the first time, my brother Scott and her girlfriend) also went to Tonle Sap and the village of Kampong Khleang, but seriously, the temples are the highlight!
