Khmer Galleries

Angkor Wat : Made famous by the first Tomb Raider movie, Angkor Wat is a sprawling collection of ancient Khmer-style temples in Angkor, Cambodia, built for king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century. Though I tried to be especially thorough with my old Canon, I'm not sure I effectively captured the amazing size and grandeur of the many, many temples that actually comprise Angkor Wat. If you are planning a visit, I don't think it is possible to see it all and appreciate it in less than a week. Check the nearby town of Siem Reap Check out another Khmer-styled temple in Phi Mai, Thailand

Phi Mai Temple : Years before I got a chance to visit Angkor Wat in Cambodia, a friendly co-worker of mine in a bank in Bangkok invited me on a trip to see his home city near Phi Mai. Always up for an adventure, I took him up on his offer. What I didn't know is that the trip would take us to this beautiful, virtually unknown (outside of Thailand) Khmer temple. Check out some pictures of the trip there in my Phi Mai architectural footnote gallery. Don't miss Angkor Wat, the most famous Khmer temple in the world.
