Angkor Wat Off The Beaten Path Tips by Snipernurse

Hang with the locals

If you have a chance to interact with the locals, take advantage of that opportunity. They are kind, charming and interesting. We happened across a pool game in action and asked if we could join. Definately a good time

Don't settle for just the main temples

What amazed me while I wandered the temple complexes was that Angkor wat and Bayan were busy, but there are approx. 10 other temples around Angkor Thom to be explored and for 2 or 3 hours my friend and I walked around and climbed and explored these temples all by ourselves! Don't be a lame-O, run through Bayan and leave Angkor Thom, that place has much to offer, wander around until you've seen every corner there are tons of interesting buildings to be seen.
