Angkor Wat is one of the most beautiful and fascinating places on the planet. Made by the Khmer kings in a process that lasts almost 4 centuries, this magnificent area has been abandoned and hidden by the forest. Re-discovered by a French man about 150 years ago, Angkor Wat is ready to become one of the most visited archaeological and artistic sites on the planet.
This short exploration of Angkor Wat highlights the must-sees including Angkor Wat Temple, Angkor Thom Temple, Banteay Srei Temple and boat trip on the Tonle Sap.
