Banteay Srei is my favourite temple. Love the delicate carvings and all the stories on the walls.

I loved Ta Prohm - well worth doing after sunrise at Angkor Wat when its more or less your own to enjoy at your leisure! Gillybob greetings

What wonderful antiquities! I've read about them, but never envisioned seeing them in person. The cultural show must have been quite instructive, too. Thanks for the tips and great pics!

Great pictures and interesting tips. Khett Siem Reab is on my dream list. Perhaps I'll manage to visit it in 2008, during my planned trip to Vietnam. How did you travel - independently or with a tour operator?
