Siem Reap, Cambodia: A place to see
Last June my husband and I finally took our first trip to Cambodia, after many years of planning. We began our journey with a connecting flight from Bangkok to Siem Reap. Siem Reap is a major town in Northwest Cambodia and the gateway to the famous Angkor temples. Angkor means city or capital - it was once the ancient capital of Cambodia and was the center of the Khmer empire. This empire produced a great regime that built many temples all over Cambodia. These temples were in honor of the Hindu gods -- Siva, Vishnu, and Brahma.
