Angkor Thom Cambodia

Angkor Thom :  You’ll have to check out the entrance to the South Gate with 54 heads on each side.  Watch for the monkeys, as they will be looking for you, hoping to get a snack.  The East gate was recently used as a location on Tomb Raider.  .  Don’t miss the Banton, The Baphuon, and the Terrace of the Elephants, inside the walled enclosure.  The stairs aren’t as bad at Angkor Thom as they are at Angkor Wat.    I really get the feeling that the inhabitants were either 8 feet tall or had legs like tree stumps from all the stairs.  The stairs are taller than they are deep so you really get a good work out!
