“Le musée des mines n’est pas intéressant car il est très mal tenu, on le dirait abandonné. Prix d’entrée totalement injustifié. La promenade en forêt pour voir les sculptures dans la rivière est sympa sans plus. Le seul intérêt est le temple de Banteay Srei qui est exceptionnel. À lui seul il justifie l’activité. C’est magnifique !”
