Reply to comment by iMastari in Mass evictions at Angkor Wat leave 10,000 families facing uncertain future by zsreport

Honestly the vendors at Angkor wat (I was there earlier this year) are mostly on the roads leading to the site and are absent from the actual temples themselves.

I would normally agree that these are annoying but in the case of Angkor wat it actually made it feel more authentic because I imagine that vendors were everywhere back when the site was actually occupied as well.

Very solid point. If you were there during antiquity it would have been even 10x more hectic with merchants

Heck they always walk you around the market area of the ruins and say "now imagine this area full of vendors and merchants"..

OH you mean like on the path here?

So ya I'd agree it's borderline MORE authentic
