Beng Mealea, Cambodia Beng Mealea was built as a Hindu temple, but some carvings depict Buddhist motifs. Its primary material is sandstone and it is largely unrestored, with trees and thick brush thriving amidst its towers and courtyards and many of its stones lying in great heaps. For years it was difficult to reach, but a road recently built to the temple complex of Koh Ker passes Beng Mealea and more visitors are coming to the site, as it is 77 km from Siem Reap by road.
The history of the temple is unknown and it can be dated only by its architectural style, identical to Angkor Wat, so scholars assumed it was built during the reign of king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century.[1] Smaller in size than Angkor Wat, the king's main monument, Beng Mealea nonetheless ranks among the Khmer empire's larger temples. 180 minutes
Lolei, Siem Reap, Cambodia Lolei (Khmer: ប្រាសាទលលៃ) is the northernmost temple of the Roluos group of three late 9th century Hindu temples at Angkor, Cambodia, the others members of which are Preah Ko and the Bakong. Lolei was the last of the three temples to be built as part of the city of Hariharalaya that once flourished at Roluos, and in 893 the Khmer king Yasovarman I dedicated it to Shiva and to members of the royal family. The name "Lolei" is thought to be a modern corruption of the ancient name "Hariharalaya,"[1]: 98, 112 which means "the city of Harihara." Once an island temple, Lolei was located on an island slightly north of centre in the now dry Indratataka baray,[2]: 60 construction of which had nearly been completed under Yasovarman's father and predecessor Indravarman I. Scholars believe that placing the temple on an island in the middle of a body of water served to identify it symbolically with Mount Meru, home of the gods, which in Hindu mythology is surrounded by the world oceans. 60 minutes
Prasat Bakong, Prasat Bakong, Cambodia Bakong (Khmer: បាគង [ɓaːkɔːŋ]) is the first Khmer temple mountain of sandstone constructed by rulers of the Khmer Empire at Angkor near modern Siem Reap in Cambodia. In the final decades of the 9th century AD, it served as the official state temple of King Indravarman I in the ancient city of Hariharalaya, located in an area that today is called Roluos.
The structure of Bakong took shape of stepped pyramid, popularly identified as temple mountain of early Khmer temple architecture. The striking similarity of the Bakong and Borobudur temple in Java, going into architectural details such as the gateways and stairs to the upper terraces, suggests strongly that Borobudur was served as the prototype of Bakong. Contact is inferred to have occurred between the Khmer kingdom and the Sailendra dynasty in Java, who would have transmitted to Cambodia not only ideas, but also technical and architectural details of Borobudur, including arched gateways in corbelling method. 60 minutes

Our tour guide was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed the visit to Beng Melea. This is a really spectacular temple, set in beautiful grounds. The trip also gives you the opportunity to see the Cambodian countryside and the activities in the villages. As for Kompong Pluk Floating Village, I would say that as a tourist attraction it is over-rated. Mildly interesting, but as a spectacle it can't compete with villages on stilts to be seen in Thailand or Vietnam.

We travelled to Cambodia on our honeymoon.
We like to explore but only have a few days so we booked this private tour.
Our driver picked us up at 8:30 from our hotel and drove us for 1 hour to Beng Mealea a wonderful ancient temple ruin. A local took a photo using our phone and charged us $2.
Our driver waited out the front with the car and let us go of and explore. He spoke some English.
After 1.5 hours we headed back where he then drove us to a village near Sap Lake. We left the car and took a boat ride around the village which was an amazing experience alto see how these people live. Quite extraordinary. Whilst out on the vast lake a woman came on a boat and parked next to ours where we bought some Pringles for $4USD quite expensive yes but she was on a boat, that’s a lot of effort on her behalf and these people have very little on the way of money.
Water was included. I wore converse which were fine and comfortable but the paths are like a red dirt so wear something you don’t mind getting a little dirty.
Our driver also stopped on a road side so I could try a traditional Cambodian food called Kralan which is a bamboo cane used to cook sticky rice with coconut milk, black beans (these don’t taste of anything) and sugar. Then you peel the bamboo back and eat it.
