Siem Reap

Most guide books will tell you a 3- or 4-day visit to the ancient city of Angkor will suffice, but don't  be fooled by their recommendation.  I thought 4 full days of exploring Angkor would be enough but I was wrong.  I really needed a week to fully explore and soak in all the splendors of Angkor (and not get 'over-templed' out).  My goal was to see more than just Angkor Wat, and to visit some of the smaller (and less crowded) temples beyond Angkor...I barely got to do this.  This is truly an amazing place and spending a week (even two) around Angkor and Siem Reap would be ideal.
