We had an opportunity to spend a few days in Siem Reap (សៀមរាប) and spent one morning at Angkor Wat ( អង្គរវត្ ), an ancient Hindu Temple from the early 12th century, converted to a Buddhist Temple in the late 12th century. We arrived before sunrise and stayed until about noon. Fortunately this is the off season so it was not overrun… We walked through three different temples with a guide: Angkor Wat, the main temple, Ta Prohm, the temple that is overgrown with trees, and the Bayon temple, built as a Buddhist temple with lots of smiling faces.
