Strong disagreement. Angkor needs, IMO, 3 full days and is unmissable. One day for the small circuit, one for grand circuit, one for Banteay Srei and possibly Kbal Spean. Pace yourself though and get a good guide.
You can come back another time and find much less crowded sites such as Banteay Chhmar, Preah Vihear, or, farther afield, Wat Phu in Lao near Pakxe. In Thailand, there are the really exceptional Phnom Rung, Muang Tam, and Phimai.
