Angkor
The Khmer civilisation at Angkor must have been a spectacular sight in its heyday, 1000 years ago.
The kingdom extended over much of southeast Asia until its rapid decline by the 15th century. The temples near the present-day city of Siem Reap are spectacular in their different states of disrepair.
The most interesting of the temples for me was Beng Melea, a 2-hour drive east of Siem Reap on a dusty, pot-holed road. It has only recently been cleared of landmines and has not undergone restoration as yet.
Angkor is a great place to go - thoroughly recommended.
