Day 17
Preah Vihear
October 20, 2023 in Cambodia ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
So we are in this town Sa Em nearish to an ancient Khmer temple, Preah Vihear. It was built from the 9th C to the Hindu god Shiva. It was inaccessible in recent times as ownership was disputed between Thailand and Cambodia, with bullets and other things exchanged in claim. An international court ruled in favour of Cambodia. Still not many tourists come to see it. But with international funding assistance it is being restored. It occupies a spread of 800m on top of a mountain.

Day 16
Into Cambodia
October 19, 2023 in Cambodia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
A long day in the bus today. A little excitement at the Cambodia border as, some days ago, Laos immigration did not stamp the entry of 1 of our number. So this lot weren't going to let her exit -- not without a long delay, lots of jabbering and a US$50 payment. USDs are used more here than the local Rial.
We are now in a remote part of nth Cambodia in a hotel with the original Edison filament lamps.Read more
