[Angkor Thom Ruins] Recommended small ruins in Cambodia

When touring the Angkor Thom ruins, there are many ruins that you just pass by in a tuk-tuk. One of the small ruins that you should definitely stop and see. - Terrace of the Leper King - This is a uniquely shaped ruin that is said to have been built by Jayavarman VII in the 12th century. When this ruin, which was covered with trees, was discovered, it was covered in moss and looked like leprosy, which is where the name comes from. Going through the narrow passages, which are like a maze, lined with reliefs depicting Hindu tales, is an exciting experience even if you don't know the story☺️ This is apparently a place where gladiators fought and the king watched elephant events. It's strange how the scenery is completely different on the high ground and the low ground with the reliefs✨ 📍Location: CVX5+2HG, Krong Siem Reap 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: No shade under the blazing sun☀️         Parasol, hat and sunglasses are a must☝️ 💞Reasons why we recommend it: The Elephant Terrace next door is quite a distance away, but this one is right after you get off the ride, so you can see it in about 10 minutes👌 #100TravelStyles #FamilyTrip #SoloTrip #CoupleTrip #GirlsTrip #AngkorWatTourism #SiemReapTourism #CambodiaTrip
