Siem Reap Temples
The reason most people go to Cambodia is to visit the temples around Siem Reap. The most famous of these is Angkor Wat, although there are hundreds of temples in the area. Many have had extensive damage inflicted on them as a result of war, looting, and the natural encroachment of the jungle.
The following are some images from the temples of Angkor Wat and the surrounding area.
