What would a Khmer look like in their daily lives? How much does it differ from you? Apart from the language? I would like to share with you this series of images taken during my trip to Siem Reap, showcasing the inner beauty of Cambodian people.
The finale of the entire travel log. It is the last day in Siem Reap, and we had to leave in the morning on an early flight.
It is so early that not much of shop around the town is operating yet.
Following the last log on Siem Reap, we went to Banteay Srei which located north of the city, a temple dedicated to the Hindu god, Shiva. We were on a 3-day pass which meant today is also the last day we are allowed to visit Angkor, legally. Since most of the visiting on main sites has been done on the first two day including sunrise and sunset viewing,
The view from highest floor of the guesthouse. High-rise building are non-existent here. The weather are cloudy today and it looks like it will rain later in the afternoon.
School children are spotted at one of the house.
Since we had been on an automated trip on a Tuk-tuk, we decided to go on a trip inside Angkor via our raw power, cycling.
Following the previous post on my travel log to Siem Reap, Cambodia, we spent the first morning exploring the temples around The Bayon.
A shot taken after a drizzling sunrise session in front of Angkor Wat.
We were once again woke up at 5AM for our one-day trip towards Banteay Srei, an interesting temple dedicated to the Hindu god, Shiva, which located more than 30KM from Angkor. Instead of having Pele, Noy was our tuk-tuk driver for the day.
In the previous post of this travel log, I mentioned about this holiday is in October, which meant that it’s still one month away from November. Reason? To avoid the unnecessary peak season crowds. Downsides? It’s still a pretty wet season here in Cambodia, until November.
Did I mention that Khmers have huge affections towards river?
Also earlier :
We woke up at 5AM to prepare ourselves for the sunrise observation at Angkor. It was raining so heavy that the front door of the guest house is flooded. Usually the arrangement to see Sunrise in Angkor is simple.
As we woke up and prepared to go for the tour. There is this young man, by the name of Pele (Footballer name), asked if I’m going on the morning tour, I answered, yes, and we boarded his exquisite Tuk-Tuk, partially furnished.
