Angkor Wat

    Angkor Wat is one of the biggest temple in Cambodia that is local in Siem reap province. Angkor Wat was building in the early 12 century, during the reign of the king suryavarman II (ruled 1113-1150) this temple was build as the king state temple and capital city of Cambodia. After the dead of king suryavarman II the building of Angkor Wat seem to have ended shortly leaving some of the bas-relief decoration unfinished (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angkor_wat). But in the 13 century Angkor Wat temple was finished by king suryavarman VII and changed form Hindu to Buddhist until today. So now a day Angkor Wat has became one of the best spot for the tourists to visit every year.
