the world famous angkor wat

 

 

 

The world's largest religious monument. A total area of almost 200 hectares with a 190m-wide moat surrounding it. It's Gallery of Bas-Reliefs is unbelievable, the carved area is 600m in length and 2m high, documenting legendary stories on the wall. Having visited Angkor Thom before Angkor Wat, you are somehow left with a disappointed feeling, expecting Angkor Wat to be as massive as Angkor Thom. Unfortunately scaffolding was present on the main centre tower during our visit.
