The temples of Angkor, near the Cambodian city of Siem Reap, are the legacy of the great Khmer Empire, who ruled current Cambodia and Laos, plus parts of Thailand and Vietnam from the 9th century to the 15th.

It takes several days to see them all. Most visitors concentrate on the stars of the vast complex: Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Bayon and Ta Phrom.
