How Early Megacities Emerged from the Jungles of Cambodia

I went to Angkor Wat. It is beautiful.

I also rented a motorbike and used Google Maps to locate other far less popular ruins. There is a ton of them that are easily located from the imagery.

It was a really fun set of adventures of driving a dumpy motorbike, by myself, down dirt roads in the middle of nowhere. Coming across ruins that no other tourists find.

I really miss travel...

My partner and I did the same thing 10 years ago on $1 per day bicycles. There are numerous large and impressive ruins scattered all over Siem Reap and you get then all to yourself.

I really miss travel too.

If you ever head back, check out 'Koh Andet Eco Resort'

After the Angkor Wat trip, I moved to Vietnam and then bought a motorbike and drove across the border, all over Cambodia. I found that resort also by zooming in on areas of google maps.

The whole resort is floating off a small island in the middle of a river. It is amazing.
