Sanctuary: The Temples of Angkor - by Steve McCurry
The temples of Angkor are one the world's most impressive archaeological treasures. The extensive network of ancient temples in Cambodia - a magical world of carved gods, weathered masonry, tangled vegetation and orange-robed monks, so long off-limits to Western visitors - are evocatively presented in Steve McCurry's unique style. An introduction by John Guy - an authority on the cultural history of Southeast Asia - provides an informative introduction to the history and architecture of the site and also explains its religious history and modern usage. Designated a World Heritage site, the temples of Angkor are a great attraction to tourists and archaeologists alike, and are a popular pilgrimage destination for the faithful. McCurry shows these many facets in grand panoramas of the architecture, intimate portraits of the life of the monks and studies of wonderful sculptures (which are displayed in separate sections of the book on textured paper).
Hardcover 128 pages (April 2002); Publisher: Phaidon Press

 Battambang - second largest city
Believed to be the kingdom's second largest city, Battambang is set in fertile alluvial soil that provides the country's highest quality rice crops. In fact, as a province, Battambang produces enough rice for the entire country. With such agricultural wealth and the existence of both rubies and emeralds within the provincial border, Battambang has grown through trade; a fact that has undoubtedly been abetted by the city's relative proximity to Bangkok.
 Kampong Cham is at a crossroad. It is the gateway to exotic Mondulkiri Province through Kratie, and a port city on the mighty Mekong. The province is Cambodia's most populous, and the people make their living from fishing, rice farming and producing a rich array of fruits in fertile orchards, including durian, rambutans and lychees.

Culturally rich monuments like the temples of Angkor Wat near Siem Reap in Cambodia are considered to be one of man's greatest architectural achievements. The capital - Phnom Penh is typically modern day Cambodia with a blend of French Colonial Buildings and royal palaces. Laos is the least developed destination in South -East Asia with lifestyles unchanged in generations. The capital city of Vientiane is possibly the most advanced area whilst the northern sister city of Luang Prabang sits in a mountain valley along the famous Mekong Delta.
