Angkor is one of the most important archaeological sites in South-East Asia. Stretching over some 400 sq. km, including forested area, the
Angkor Archaeological Park contains the magnificent remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th century. These include the famous Temple of Angkor Wat and, at Angkor Thom, the Bayon Temple with its countless sculptural decorations. UNESCO has set up a wide-ranging programme to safeguard this symbolic site and its surroundings.
I was there last week and just back yesterday. The month of April, Siem Reap is roasting hot. I had a tough time coping with the heat and dust, dirt roads. Nevertheless, it was a great trip and an inspiring one.
I have taken lots lots of pictures. I think I will probably be writing about Angkor for the next two months.
