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...

Awesome Angkor! *Colorful chapter*

It’s so beautiful… I finally make it to Siem Reap where the ancient Angkor Wat is. Me, YY & BH have a good time there… over 6days in Siem Reap, we eat, we drink, we massage, we blar blar… and the most important is, we sweat together! It was a very hot season and we just can’t stop sweating even though we are just sitting there and no moving. But good thing is, me & YY have a very good excuse to buy more shirts, haha… we end up buying a lot of colorful shirts, hats & scarves so that we can wear it, then pose in front of these ancient ruins. I have picked some of my favorite shots in difference spots and let’s see the result…

In Banteay Srei, with exquisite decorative carving in pink sandstone

3 of us with funny posing

Kral Spean, where you can find the scuptures carved in the river-bed, including the hundred of Lingas 

This is a serious pose, lol...

Angkor Wat, one of the man made wonder... 

we run, run, run...

we rest...

and we jump too...

At Bayon, you will see a complex of face towers

and our faces too...

Bantaey Samre, i love it being so remote & peaceful... see how relax we are

Now I’ll end this part with this favourite shot. I love the contrast of the light on YY’s face with BH as background.

Next, I'll show you few more photos that w shoot on Ta Prohm (famous for its’ silk-cotton trees entwined among ruins) and the rest of the temples
