This temple is about 25 kilometers from Pre Rup and is worth the ride. It's another of the temples at the angkor ruins and one might as well see all that he can see while there. It's the fartherest one out that we visited. more

Most of the decorative structures were original and very little eroded by the elements. Our guide told us this temple was remarkably preserved as the whole complex was covered by an ant hill when discovered. It's a small by comparison but the quality of the carvings preserved the epic tales very well and allows for as much time if not... more

This is another beautifully preserved temple dating to around 967AD The Citadel of Women has intricate carvings that will take your breath away. The ruins are minature compared to Angkor Wat, but this little gem hidden in the jungle about 20 miles from Angkor, is worth the visit. Go first thing in the morning before it is too hot and... more

Benteay Srei, Citadel of Women, will remain my favorite in Siem Reap. A temple dedicated to Shiva. It is totally managable as an afternoon excursion because of its intimate size. It has tons of delicate cravings of women sitting on lotus and stories from Ramayana, The lavishly decorated libraries are must-sees. I went in the late afternoon and stayed till... more
