Siem Reap, Cambodia | Hello965

Siem Reap, a resort town in northwestern Cambodia, is the gateway to the ruins of Angkor, the seat of the Khmer kingdom from the 9th–15th centuries. Angkor’s vast complex of intricate stone buildings includes preserved Angkor Wat, the main temple, which is pictured on Cambodia’s flag. Giant, mysterious faces are carved into the Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom. – Wikipedia

Things to do in Siem Reap Cambodia:
The most important thing and the whole reason why I considered Cambodia to begin with: Angkor Wat Temple & Angkor Wat City. We did a sunrise at the Angkor war and continued exploring early in the morning. If you’re not a big fan of sunrises and sunsets, then don’t go early in the morning! (departure time 4:30 AM)
See Bayon Temple and it’s ancient ruins.
See Ta Prohm temple where Tomb Raider was shot! #LaraCraft #AllTheWay
I did not do this, but I would’ve done it If my tours and activities weren’t pre-planned and booked for me: Angkor Sunrise Discovery Bike Tour
