Angkor Thom was an impressive complex of temples. Literally meaning great city, this complex built in the late 12th century covers an area of 9 km². The pictures below are of the five different sites within Angkor Thom.
When we first thought of coming to the Angkor temples, I thought, now would be a great time before it gets too touristy. There were more tourists there than I would have ever imagined. Not too many Americans or Europeans, but the Koreans and Chinese came by the bus loads. Our tour guide was funny and said they call the Koreans locusts because they are so loud. The temples are still nice, bus it sure would have been nicer if we didn’t have to compete with throngs of other tourists!
