It's a bit tricky now to remember each temple they do start to melt into one, I think it was Takeo which was huge just a sprawling mess of impressive ruins with a small area under reconstruction.
Another notable one today was a long wide wall called the terrace of Elephants it had great carvings of elephants & monkeys.
Angkor Wat is a stunner, the edge was taken off it a bit for us since we'd seen so many over the last few days but it's big with the famous tall towers the shape of a lotus flower soaring high and a long wide path to cater for masses of people. It does make obvious the missing link between times of these intelligent people including the Egyptians, Mayans etc & us of the technology era still discovering things they had learnt thousands of years back.
Angkor Wat also had the front area under the covers of reconstruction so our photos do have a green tarp in them, still well worth the visit.
