"The many faces of Angkor Wat" a Cambodia Travel Page by Groverdean

Angkor Wat is the most important monument of the southeast Asian Khmer Empire. It is so imressive in size and clearly is the largest sacred temple in the world. It was built at the beginning of the 12th century. There are some amazingly intricate and ornamental detail to the building. As you can see from my pictures it's beauty is trully unique.

Around Angkor Wat there are many temples which have been taken over by the jungle. Although smaller, they are still fascinating to visit, and should be a part of your trip here.
The kid in this photo kept wanting to hit me, needless to say he did. I seem to have that effect on children! Funny thing was he wasnt even after any money or selling anything, just a cute kid.

The Elephant Terrace is held up by a wall 300 metres long with sculptures of elephants in profile view. One of the stairways to the terrace is decorated with three-headed elephants, whose trunks act as pillars - an art object as well as a structural member.
