King's
Road Angkor when entering king's road Angkor, visually you are struck by the
architecture. It's a beautiful, enclosed courtyard-style village on two levels.
The outlets are set in individually designed, traditional Khmer wooden houses. The
upper levels stand impressively on wooden stilts, with balconies and terraces over-looking
the courtyard. Comprising of 15 restaurants, cafes and a dozen boutiques for
shopping, it provides entertainment and nightlife in elegant surrounds, and is
an ideal location by day to unwind from the temples only a stride from the
bustle of the city.

Constructed in 12th-13th, Ta Prohm is
another popular temple with its most distinguishing features being flora and
trees sprawling across the temple site, their roots snaking across stones and
probing walls. Featured in the film, “Tamb Raider,” Ta Prohm was once a wealthy
monastery and is well worth an extended exploration of its dark corridors and
jungle-infested plazas.
However, there’s much more to Angkor than just these main sights.
The site is vast, covering an area of some 400 square kilometers, and diverse,
with buildings ranging in scale from early, tiny brick towers like Prasat
Kravan to the massive and stark sandstone edifice of Ta Keo. If you are tired,
the floating villages of Tonle Sap, the massive freshwater lake that dominates
central Cambodia, are worth exploring. The land south of Siem Reap is part of
the lake’s flood plain and is inundated from June to November.
