Originally published 19 Jun 2014 On Friday, I departed Cambodia after a two week work trip there. During the intervening weekend we visited the temples of Siem Reap located about 200 miles north of Phnom Penh. The temple of Angkor Wat was the most fabulous, but there are many remarkable temples in the area that were built from the 9th to the 15th centuries. The temples are in various states of disrepair from the forces of the jungle and the damage done by the Khmer Rouge.
