After the Temple with Many Faces, our next stop in Angkor Thom was Baphuon, also known as the golden mountain. It is a three-tiered temple made to resemble a small mountain. Originally dedicated to Shiva, it now serves as a Buddhist temple.
Siem Reap
The city in Cambodia closest to Angkor Wat.
The Temple with Many Faces
After exploring Angkor Wat our day was far from over. The ancient temple is only a small part of a huge ancient city that stretched over the land and I wanted to explore more of it.
I Finally Made it to Angkor Wat
Ever since I was a small child I had wanted to explore the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat. During my travels around South East Asia I was finally able to live that dream. I found myself a guide in Siem Reap, and he took me around the ancient site.
The Angkor National Museum
After spending some time in Phnom Penh, it was time to move onto Siem Reap. Here I hoped to achieve a lifelong dream and visit Angkor Wat. But before that I had to prepare myself by visiting the Angkor National Museum.
