Awesome Angkor! *Nostalgic Chapter*

Ta Prohm, one of the major temples of Jayavarman VII gives a romantic atmosphere with a lot of large silk-cotton trees and strangler fig intertwined among the ruins.





Similar to Ta Prohm, Preah Khan is much more than a temple. It was a Buddhist university and a city itself...

 

 


 

 

As usual, jump when ever, where ever I can...
  
Have enough of temple?! Well, the next stop we hit to Tonle Sap Lake to see Chong Khneas, a floating village at the edge of the lake closest of Siem Reap. It is an interesting but over-tourist spot. Our “sleeping” boatman “occasionally” point out the differing Khmer and Vietnamese floating households and the floating markets, clinics, schools and other boatloads of tourists... 



 


 

 

Alright, that’s more or less the gist of our excursion in Siem Reap. Is time to do what we always done well in the town... i.e. shopping, eating, and massaging... Ciao...
