Ta Prohm at Angkor Wat Ta Prohm is about as famous as the main temple of Angkor Wat, not in the least because of Angelina Jolie's acting in the film 'Tomb Raider'. Unlike the other temples at Angkor, it was left as it was found, preserved as an example of how a tropical forest can reclaim land and everything on it. There is definitely an aura of...

The final temple we visited at Angkor was Ta Phrom. This sprawling building is in a similar style to Angkor Wat but on a smaller scale and was selected by the French archaeologists to remain as it was found. It's been used in many films (Tomb raider etc.) as is truly magical (or would be if it wasn't for the crowds!)

The most direct path from the Lao capitol of Vientiane to the ancient Cambodian capitol surrounding Siem Reap was a blitz through the Isan region of NE Thailand that would take us about a day and a half using the bus network coupled with less formal vehicular options for the final stretch. From Vientiane it was over the Friendship Bridge (surpri...

Greetings from the Kingdom of Cambodia, I don't believe that I have ever visited a Kingdom before. The official name is the Kingdom of Cambodia. Today, was pretty much a travel day. We woke up in Hoi An, Vietnam. We took a car to Danang, flew to Ho Chi Mihn City and then flew to Siem Reap, Cambodia. At the Danang airport we ran into our friend B...

From here we visited the amazing temples of Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Bayon and Thom Pra...awesome.

We've just seen a different kind of Asia - Siem Reap, Cambodia. Everything you hear about the landscape, the gentleness of the people, and the poverty is perfectly true. This country's devastating history has not broken the spirit and kindness of the people, however. While tourism is beginning to make it's mark, they still have a long way to go ...

As the guys hit the Ankor Wat temples in Siem Reap. They also took photo's. B

Welcome to one of the most corrupt countries in the world. The legacy of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime still can be felt today and some of the people involved in those atrocities that created a country where upwards of 40% of the population is under the age of 19, are still involved in the new 'democratic' government which may explain why so fe...

Sunday JAN 7 After a hearty breakfast of fruits, pho, omelet and pastries (can't have noodles everyday!) Vireak drives us up to Phnom Kulen, the most sacred mountain of the Khmer people. The road (cleared by a Cambodian businessman in 1999) is treacherous and excruciatingly rough, but we're determined to see the "largest reclining Buddha in the ...
