There are thousands of ancient temples sites, mostly unknown, I have been hunting them down & have a video catalogue you may find helpful.

I have been discovering only those temples really visited, if at all, as there is so much more than Angkor Wat, After spending countless hours researching & travel I now have a catalogue of ten min videos each showing you temples that you may like to visit. if you fancy a lovely day out with a hint of adventure, then have a look at the catalogue & pick one, it really does make for a great day.

My YouTube channel is called, "FORGOTTEN TEMPLES CAMBODIA" at current I have about 40+ videos up, with two new temple videos going up every week, on Wednesdays & Sundays. I have a backlog of videos & have videos scheduled for release all the way to December, so plenty more ideas for temples to visit to come. I also have a huge list of temples yet to visit, so there will be many more.

I am not an expert, only an enthusiast, but I thought it may be useful to you to give a new avenue of entertainment rather than the usual, it really is a great day out exploring in the countryside & finding something ancient that is largely ignored.

Hmmm, is this another one of your diabolical techie schemes to improve SEO rankings?

Do we need 'Temple Passes' to visit these sites? A while ago I went down to Wat Athvea. Nobody there, off the beaten track, a bit tricky riding in because the road was just loose sand. I seemed to be the only person around for miles. So I started to wander around the old ruins, suddenly a guy with a badge comes out of nowhere and asks if I have a ticket. I said no, but I am happy to buy one now. Oh no, apparently I have to go back to Siem Reap, back to the Angkor ticket office, buy a ticket and then come all the way back. So I said, forget it mate, I've seen enough anyway, and I left. I appreciate the ticket price pays for maintenance of the sites, but Wat Athvea didnt look like anyone was doing any maintenance, like a lot of the sites in your videos - all the money probably just goes to Angkor. Or somewhere else.

Thank you for these amazing videos. I’ve been trying to find a list of sites, but there are so many. I do so wish there were resources to create a database or gazetteer of these sites, but it is too big a task for an individual

You don't need a pass. There's a good site in French which has a list of all of them with gps coordinates. I'll try to dig it up when I get home. There are thousands of temples though, only the ones around Angkor and a few other major ones require tickets of any kind. All the others are "show up".

Did you find the list? I have tried to find it but no luck. Cheers

Don't know if this is what you are looking for, but once you get the hang of using this map it is a trove of info (use + and - signs at bottom left) . Includes locations of 80 temples. Created by a Malaysian traveller: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewe ... 707151&z=9
