I will always remember Siem Reap, Cambodia for the wonderful tuk tuk ride through its tranquil, tree-lined avenues, where we rode past bikers, old timers, and laughing school children. Here, no building can be built higher than the Angkor Wat. Cars or tuk tuks have to give way to the occasional monkey crossing the road.
And you know, any place where temples are more important than buildings, and animals are the kings of the road, is my kind of place.
My friend and I did many wonderful things in and around the temples of Angkor, but several have stood out from the rest, and I highly recommend that you do not miss these.
