Banteay Samre, Siem Reap
Definitely my favorite temple
This is not a favorite among the tourists that’s why when we got there, we were able to freely roam around without the usual hassle of bumping into other people. There were less than 10 people, including my friends and I.
The place is very solemn. According to a guard (who was pleasant enough to take us around), the temple serves as a burial ground, which until know is regularly frequented by locals (there were incense inside). It is also undergoing restoration but the temples are not in ruins, as compared to others… You can still appreciate its angkor wat architecture and artistry.
Banteay Samre is about 30kms from Siem Reap. Take a side trip to discover this splendid temple when you go to the more popular Banteay Srey.
