Angkor Thom

You can't throw a rock in Angkor without hitting something old and made of rocks. Or hitting a monkey. They're all over the place, too, shaking down the tourists.

Angkor Thom shows up in National Geographic a lot--if you've seen the wats with the faces carved into the stone and wondered where that was, it's here.

The wats and causeways and statuary go on and on. And it must have been 37 degrees out with 90% humidity. But when's the next time you're going to get to see the place of the elephants and the platform of the leper king?
