It's hard to pick and choose among the temple trips - they're all interesting in different ways. You certainly don't want to miss Angkor Wat. I personally found Bayon very atmospheric - There were very few people there, and we got caught in a thunderstorm, which made it even more photogenic. You'll probably want to do the "Temple in the Jungle" trip, which takes you to the ruins of Prohm.
Can I ask if the hotels contacted you to ask what your interests were and what you wanted to do? Or did you take the initiative yourself?
Thanks for your comments.
I got in touch with the hotel first in connection with the booking. They sent me their activity programme as part of this first contact and we agreed that I would come back to the booking of activities closer to the stay. I contacted them again yesterday saying a little bit about our preferences and asked them for a proposal which I got today. The proposal has taken our preferences into consideration but I am still not sure if we should do everything that they suggest which is why I ask for input from you and other fellow FT-ers experience. All the activities sounds good, but I am sure there are some highlights.
