Cambodia — Around Siem Reap
The Ruins and the People
by Keith Stanley (copyright 2006)

The town of Siem Reap, Cambodia is the stopping off point for tourists interested in seeing the magnificent ruins of the ancient Khmer Empire close by. The most well-known (and largest) of the ruined ancient temples is that of Angkor Wat, but there are many others that merit closer attention, such as Angkor Thom, the Bayon, Ta Prohm, and Banteay Srei. In fact, when tourists say they have visited Angkor Wat, they quite likely are referring not only to Angkor Wat proper, but to other ruins as well .

(some of which are as well or better preserved and deserving of historical and artistic recognition). The subject of this page is some of these other ruins, as well as the native peoples who live in the region.
