Angkor (Khmer) Temples and Sites with Coordinates

Here's a work in progress of a listing of Angkor era sites in spreadsheet format, including:
  • name
  • country
  • near (city/town/village)
  • latitude
  • longitude
  • Panoramio photo, if available
  • whether on Google Maps

  • Ancient Angkor by Michael Freeman and Claude Jacques, River Books, Bangkok, 1999. A 2009 revised edition is available.

Listing of Large Scale Mapping by Country
