After completing our visit of Angkor Wat city, we visited Angkor Thom. Angkor Thom means 'great city' and it is about 10 square kilometers. It was once surrounded by a wall and 100 meter wide moat which was said to have contained ferocious crocodiles. 

Trip Advisor has recently released a list of the Top Landmarks. #1, beating out Machu Picchu, was Angkor Wat. I am glad we were able to add this to our list of sites visited.

We hired a driver to take us from Kampot to Siem Reap. We could have taken a bus, but it would have been a much longer day (about a nine hour ride) with many stops back in Phnom Penh picking up all sorts of folks. We weren't keen on another long bus ride and It was not a huge price difference considering there were four of us.
