About 60 km south of Phnom Penh in Takeo province is a great looking temple area on a hill, its Phnom Chisor
The temples have been created in beautiful masonry work and some other just like Angkor with some inscriptions from the 11th.Century when the place was known as Suryagiri.
The whole look quite similar to the Pagodas and Temples in Bagan in central Myanmar. The panoramic view from the hill over the plains of Takeo province is a breathtaking experience. This sacred spot was created under King Suryavarman I who reigned for 47 years from 1002 on during that time 4 major temple were built in brick construction with sandstone lintels above the doorways and the wooden doors.

Temples at Tonle Bati
The temples at Tonle Bati about 2 hour south of Phnom Penh are similar to Angkor but smaller, they look beautiful and there are usually no tourists around. Only some kids and a old women to keep them clean do a good job.
This is a small temple cluster no match for Angkor but a beautiful sacred site in a tropical setting. The women who keep the place in order try quite a bit to squeeze out some money for it which makes some sense because it she wouldn't be there the temple and surrounding would be in a mess and nothing to see at all.
The structure is the usual sandstone
enhanced with a few Buddha statues in a great illuminated setting. To reach the place means either ask for a car and driver in the hotel, $ 50,- for the afternoon or take a motorbike, or get off the bus to the south have a look around and wait for another bus at the main road to Kampot, note that there are two routes to the south, it needs to take the eastern approach.
The best is to start around 10 am at Phnom Penh, for this you have plenty of school kids around there for great pictures.
