Siem Reap

by chatterley - last update: Jun 13, 2008

Bayon Temple @ Angkor Thom
After reading so much about all the sights in Siem Reap (especially Angkor Wat), it's always been one of my dream destinations, and I was able to get a 5-day break to visit this beautiful place with my hubby. I was not disappointed - Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Banteay Srei, Ta Prohm etc are truly magnificent examples of great Khmer architecture which had withstand the test of time, and they are all so beautiful!
Angkor Wat & its reflection in the moat
Besides spending our time marveling at the temples and their intricate carvings, we also enjoyed eating the local food.

The attractions and temples we visited during these 5-days include:
Angkor Wat,
Angkor Thom,
Banteay Srei,
Ta Prohm,
Prasat Kravan,
Pre Rup,
Lolei,
Preah Kho,
Bakhong,
and Tonle Sap (the largest fresh water lake in SE Asia)
devata @ Ta Prohm
We loved taking photos of the carvings of apsaras and devatas, the female spirits in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. Apsaras are female spirits who are depicted to be dancing; and devatas are guardians of the temples. They sport different postures, garments and even hairstyles or headdresses. We saw a few with really funky hairstyles at Angkor Wat, and we were thinking: "even the celestial beings have their bad hair days!"

Pros:"All the famous temples!"
Cons:"dusty roads (if you're taking tuk-tuks)"
In A Nutshell:"Angkor Wat is a "must-see"!"
