Angkor Wat - Siem Reap
We know you saw this one coming- but no listicle would be complete without the mention of Angkor Wat. The ancient temple has what feels like endless photo opportunities. Your biggest struggle will be choosing which one to post!
Pro tip: Head to the temple at sunrise or sunset during the rainy season to avoid crowds and capture the classic reflective pic.

Ta Prohm- Siem Reap
The tree roots that wind in and out of Ta Prohm’s stone walls give the temple a magical and mysterious vibe that feels straight out of a movie. Perhaps that’s why this place was chosen as the iconic set for ‘Lara Croft: Tomb Raider’.

Lotus Farm - Siem Reap
Upon first glance, this Cambodian lotus farm looks like a fairytale. Tiny straw huts speckle the bright pink and green landscape. Who knew these pretty flowers had so many uses, from food to fabric to the perfect Insta pic.
