The beauty of Angkor isn't just in the man-made temple creations. The incredible forest setting and nature's centuries-old efforts to reclaim the temples are essential to the uniqueness of the place. This shot was taken at Baphuon temple which has only recently reopened having been closed for restoration for most of the past two decades.
Rusty Compass listings are always independent. We list the places we think are worth knowing about. Our Featured Listings allow a small selection of businesses already recommended by us, to pay a fee for a place at the top of our list. That’s it. Featured Listings have no impact on reviews, or on the curation and independence of our lists.
