Temple Of The Sun

After visiting Angkor Wat and the Temple of Trees in the morning, we visited a few more temples in the afternoon and finished the day with a view of the sunset from atop the Temple of the Sun.

These stone soldiers lined the sides of the bridge that led into Angkor City. Apparently, over a million people once lived there - back in 1300 AD.

Here are some of the stone statues that you may be more familiar with courtesy of Lara Croft - Tomb Raider.

Once again, every free space was filled with carvings. This one told the story of the battle between Cambodia and Vietnam circa. a long time ago.


Although Cambodia has its own currency, the preferred form of payment is US dollars - even the Buddha prefers a greenback.

Tourists gathered atop the Temple of the Sun to watch the sunset.
