Cambodia - Day 2

After a tiring day 1 and abit blur about craving and mist around the Angkor Wat, we decided to hire a tour guide in Chinese. Its was brilliant decision which we really need a tour guide or translator for all the history in Angkor Wat.

Before chicken can make an early call, we already woke up and ready to go out for sunrise in Angkor Wat. Time: 5:00am - Go Go Go ~!

Everyone using Torch Light~

A very disappointing morning which we are unable to see sunrise due to raining/cloudy day. However we was abit satisfy with the breakfast... Toasted French Baguette with egg.

Price is 1USD

Angkor Wat on upgrade and renovation.

Our tour guide, ah Heng, told us long long time ago, they are using this tree as weapon for war. You can see the below picture that at the branch, they are very sharp... really can use for attack like knife. The fruit can be use to make sugar, which taste very sweet :)

She is my lovely Girlfriend :)

History of Echo Chamber :)

I have to warn you all that the stairs in Angkor Wat are very dangerous. Just be more careful when you are using them. Try to hold the steal or stone that they provided, that will be more safer.

The view upstairs is awesome.

we enjoying some portraits here :)

and couple photo too ~

After the Angkor Wat, our next destination will be Angkor Thom.

Angkor Thom (Khmer: អង្គរធំ; literally: "Great City"), located in present day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by king Jayavarman VII. It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city is Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.

There are few entrance and we take the South Gate :)

This is Bayon Temple, it have 216 over crave faces at 54 towers all with different emotion

It was a great building and she like this place very much

216 + 2 faces = 218 LoL

This was the most cheerful smile among all faces, do we look a like?

Some emotional photo~

Touch nose :)

There are so much photo to take and again, it was hot day there. After few hours of visiting Bayon, we move on the most famous Temple, Ta Prohm which know as Tomb Rider. This is because Tomb Rider I is shoot here. Try to remember~

Ta Prohm (Khmer: ប្រាសាទតាព្រហ្ម) is the modern name of a temple at Angkor, Siem Reap Province, Cambodia, built in the Bayon style largely in the late 12th and early 13th centuries and originally called Rajavihara (in Khmer: រាជវិហារ).

Look at the TREE... huge...

OMG, is GIANT~

It's art, inside died tree outside live tree...

Spotted a cute owl :) She/he scared~

Amitabha~

Really impress with what I seen and it was a wonderful place to visit. Try to visit at least once in your lifetime and you will never regret. We continue with some others temple

Around Ta Keo Temple with some funny fruits.

Grab some, throw it high and it drop beautifully, like pair of wing~

Suppose to continue with few more Temple but we just too tired. Give up and just rest at some restaurant and have a drink.

She can even take a short nap here =.="

After a short discussion and we decision to stop Temple visiting, we decide to change our plan to visit Tonle Sap Lake.

The Tonlé Sap (Khmer: ទន្លេសាប, "Large Fresh Water River", but more commonly translated as "Great Lake") is a combined lake and river system of major importance to Cambodia.

On the way... All our journey by Tuk Tuk

Passing by, they are very poor but they are happy~

Lotus farm~

We able to get this photo due to our Tuk Tuk tayar puncture, walk around 1.5km

Heavy rain

This how they live~!

Safer when they cage than swim outside, Cambodian like eat crocodile.

As mention earlier, heavy rain + tuk tuk = wet chicken hahaha. Enjoy the ride with the driver & tour guide. Really an unforgettable night (雨中Tuk Tuk, Hahaha). I was unable to take any photo due to the heavy rain.

Of course, a great dinner usually will heal and energize us. Here let me introduce you some Khmer food. Due to rain non stop, we settle down our dinner at our Golden Temple Villa, I rate them 3.5/5

Quite popular around here, some Chicken Roll

some Curry from Cambodia, delicious.

Pork cook with some sour sauce what a perfect match.
