In the previous leg of Superchilled Race Around the World we took you to the inside of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, as correctly guessed by Monsieur Le Monty, not the entry for our new home in Stanwell Park as suggested by the ever grandiose Craig, prizes will be coming your ways.Location 10, photographed above, is the next stage in our tour around the world. Have you been here? Know where it is? I want specifics. Again if you have a photo with yourself here - bonus points - email it and I'll post it. Be creative and you too can be in the running, and Craig, no it isn't the garden for the new Palace De L'Stanwell Parc.
The race begins NOW.

Is it Ankhor Watt? (not sure of spelling?)
I agree with Brenton...looks like Angkor Wat...the bit where Lara Croft had all her adventures in the first movie...OR it could be the Jardin di Pallazzo Stanwell! :-)
Sorry, I'm late... but you posted this while I was asleep!
I think it's NOT Angkor Wat! Since that place is totally free of scrubs [now]. It's a bit obvious you had a post with Lara Croft a few days earlier.
My first guess was the folly in the garden of the new Palace De L'Stanwell Parc, but since you said it had nothing to do with that... I've a blanc mind. [That's a change!] ;-)
The temple in question is none other then Angkor Wat which is regarded as the supreme masterpiece of Khmer architecture, it is a huge pyramid temple built by Suryavarman II between 1113 and 1150. It is surrounded by a moat 570 feet wide and about four miles long. The mass of bas-relief carving is of the highest quality and the most beautifully executed in Angkor.
I will e-mail you a pic of me at the ruins in question......lol
I think it would make a lovely rockery at the Palace De L'Stanwell Parc. A small Jamie Durie style waterfall bubbling over some ancient rocks into the spa pool ... perfect...
The topless blonde german pool boys (a la Chaise Mooty) bringing us flamboyant cocktails with little umbrella's in them, cubed cheese, little red and green cocktail onions and devils on horseback sounds like a perfectly pleasant way to whittle away the hours while we sit around admiring your Lara Croft rockery featurette.
I have to think I am building you a rather splendid home by the sea....
Love, Craig x
Gentlemen
Sorry to have missed out on the last round...I am back though with another glamour photo of myself in front of said object. Yes this one more truly reflects my current (transformed) svelt self after since that embarrassing pic from Bucharest (Trev please no comments about my breasts this time as you will make me blush!)...

Geoff, you've shaved!
My clitoris is getting all hard, you're one foxy lady!!!
Okay boys and girls, you're all getting very close, but no-one has got it correct yet. It is close to Angkor Wat and is in the main temple complex... but this isn't the main temple... Angelina Jolie does in fact make up one of the clues Mr Pierre d'Amsterdam, and Geoff, you're kissing the wrong temple, but thanks for the glamour shot anyway! (I like what you've done with your breasts). Keep at it everyone - I can sense a winner coming on soon...
Is it the Ta Prohm Temple? The one with the moat around the outside of it?
It is the Ta Prohm Temple, roots of a silk cotton tree running along the gallery of the second enclosure.
Built in the Bayon style largely in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Located approximately one kilometre east of Angkor Thom and on the southern edge of the East Baray near Tonle Bati, it was built by King Jayavarman VII as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university.
Unlike most of the other Angkor temples, Ta Prohm has been left in much the same condition in which it was found: the photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors.
It's the entrance/exit to the Hall of the Dancers.
These dancers were young virile men and their dance was what we would call nowadays 'foreplay', the real act was done with the priests... Missionairy style was invented here and later it conquered the world! :-)
First of all thanks for noticing 'Gigi'!
I would like to redeem myself for falling into the trap of pashing the wrong temple complex in my last entry by submitting a pic of a cute young man visiting the correct said complex in one of his blog entries:
