An amazing destination!

Great photos! Always fascinating to me how trees find a way to grow and make space for themselves.

Incredible!

It's an amazing place, Mac. I've visited it four times and would go back the next time as well. Your photos do it great justice. They only thing they don't capture is the heat and humidity!

I've looked at your photos 10 separate times already and each time I look I'm more amazed!What a sight!

Well thank you, esteemed Gurus! It is just SO photogenic and almost surreal in its beauty and exotic creatures. A continual "trip" to experience. And how do you ever truly capture the "essence" of the temple.... Just keep trying I guess....

Sunset over the ancient temples is a popular draw at the Angkor temples, but there are other places to view it from.

Marilyn Jones visits a scene of great beauty and history, but one that will also be familiar to fans of Indiana Jones and Lara Croft, Tomb Raider.

In the final post of a series, Marilyn Jones visits the Citadel of Women, in a 10th-century complex that was originally Hindu.

Sunrise is an hour away as I make my way along the wide pathway to Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world located just north of Siem Reap. I am joined by 15 other Exodus Travels tourists and our guide Vanney. On the edge of a reflecting pool hundreds of other visitors jockey for position to get the best photo of the sun rising over the temple. Angkor Wat was built in the first half of the 12 th century. Estimated construction time is 30 years. Built by King Suryavarman II...

Gorgeous photography, Marilyn! What a spectacular destination. This one's on my short lists -- to be seen in the next few years. Thanks for sharing these.

Hi Paul. A fellow New Yorker has been in Hull, UK yesterday. Getting 3,200 people to paint themselves blue and pose naked in the name of Art. Have a word with him when he gets home. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-36754146

These ruins are what remain of a once magnificent temple in the jungles of Cambodia, but they still get plenty of attention today.

Jayita finds there is nothing small about the Siem Reap 'small circuit temple tour'

We travelers are very familiar with all of the great travel sights around the world and certainly the magnificent Angkor Wat temple is amongst the very best known. However, perhaps less appreciated is that this much photographed and visited Angkor Wat temple is only one temple (albeit the best!) in the vast Angkor Temple Complex.

Join Marilyn Jones for part 2 of her series of visits to the beautiful ancient temples of Cambodia.

Angkor Wat, built by the Khmer King Survavarman II in the early 12th century, is the largest religious monument in the world, and definitely one of the most stunning.

Amongst the most magnificent sights in Bangkok is the Wat Phra Kaew temple, or the Temple of the Jade Buddha. It is a riot of gilded and colorful figures in a very concentrated area within the grounds of the King's Grand Palace in Bangkok.
