via Khmer Times, 18 August 2022: Temples off the beaten track featured in this article are Beng Mealea, Bakong and Phnom Bok.
However, unlike the temples in Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, many of these temples remain unknown as they are located away from Siem Reap city and also due to a lack of marketing campaigns to promote them.
“Many travel agencies include trips to Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom because these are well-known internationally,” said Kong Ros, a tour guide in Siem Reap city.
“Tour guides like us can bring tourists to lesser-known temples, which are very both beautiful and fascinating, but they usually miss the opportunity because most of them are hard to reach and costlier.”
However, for enthusiastic travellers and Indiana Jones wannabes, some architectural gems in Siem Reap have gained popularity in recent years.
