Country
Angkor Wat, the Bayon and the forest that embraces the Khmer temples
Destination guide
At Angkor Thom, the towers of the Bayon carry huge stone faces that smile through the morning mist. A little further on, Angkor Wat, built in the twelfth century, is reflected in the lotus ponds as the sky turns pink.
At Ta Prohm, the roots of giant trees embrace the ruins and the light filters through green. At Banteay Srei, the pink sandstone is carved in fine detail. On Tonlé Sap lake, houses stand on stilts and follow the level of the water.
The Khmer Empire flourished here for centuries, and visits start early, before the heat. In the countryside, sugar palms dot the rice fields, and in Siem Reap you will try amok, fish in coconut cream steamed in a banana leaf.
