There's nothing like gawking at one person's personal backyard obsession. Think Watts Towers and Coral Castle. Siem Reap can proudly boast a similar work, created by Dy Proeung. He's taken it upon himself to re-create in his backyard many of the area's famous temples. Not enough room for life-sized, time to get small.
Folk art-like detail. Another amazing creation, Banteay Srei. That's a lot of patina.
So how does he do it? This ain't no Lego set. He's got piles of detailed plans, put out by a French survey in 1969. He's still working, partially-finished projects spread around the yard.
Angkor Wat, no drone needed for a bird's-eye view.

While James and Sarah were visiting, the rains came. Almost as impressive as the mini temples.
