Stopped overnight in a palm and bamboo "hut" - surprisingly comfortable and relatively mosquito free but oh so cold!!! Trip came to an abrupt end when we were dumped about 8 kilometres short of LuangLes mer

Surprisingly no fireworks but as a local said "It's not the Cambodian New Year!? This procession was fun but caused total chaos with the traffic for quite some time.

Small town developed to support the tourist traffic for Angkor. Not a lot to see or do apart from them. Actually had a day off!

Capital city and a bit more lively and industrious. But there is no public transport!? Plenty of tuk tuk though. Prices are mostly in US $ if not you're probably in the wrong part of town!
Looked at all the photos published - wonderful trip and the map showing all your movements is super. Continue and have fun. Will keep looking in xx Liz

We decided not to go to the "killing fields" but to pay our respects at this museum. It was known as S21 and is housed in the building used to torture and kill thousands of innocent victims. PleaseLes mer

When this prison was liberated the last 14 prisoners had been killed before the guards fled. They are buried in white graves in front of building A. There are photographs of how they were found in each room of building A in the background.

Everybody knows they weave silk here but when you see the fineness of the thread and the complexities of the loom it's mind blowing! A few examples but the photos do not do justice to the vibrantLes mer

This is the focal point for Buddhism in the city. However, it's all new as so much was destroyed by the Khmer Rouge.
