"Angkor Wat: Our Own Personal Tuk Tuk " a Angkor Wat Travel Page by richiecdisc

Angkor Wat has all the ingredients of an iconic wonder of the world that everyone must clamor to see. Misty and mysterious, full of a colorful ancient past, it draws in fully the minds of would be visitors far before they set foot in its foreboding country of residence. All too often, archeological sights disappoint those that court them as being merely a jumble of decaying ruins held together only by their own imaginations. But when the mix of history, vision and concrete visual input is just right, it can prove intoxicating. The well-preserved ruins of Angkor are just that. Rarely can something so over-hyped live up to its press releases, but Cambodia’s crown jewel is up to the task. Fast becoming the Eiffel Tower of Southeast Asia, Angkor Wat will ultimately be relegated to the exclusive company of the Pyramids, Great Wall and Machu Picchu as foremost definers of their nations. Still in its infancy at drawing the masses, with a little planning, you can still enjoy this magnificent attraction in relative seclusion. However, hurry, this luxury will not last long. Angkor Wat cannot be denied its rightful spot amongst the wonders of the world much longer.
