Day 3 Angkor Wat

There’re over 1,000 temples but even our guide has only been to 60 plus. If you really want to exploit the place perhaps you should get the annual pass.

(Photo 2 – 16, 22 & 23): Angkor Thom
(Photo 17 – 21): Bayon Temple, location of the “Smile of Cambodia”

(Photo 26 – 50): Ta Prohm where trees (strangler figs) are the real master and the shooting location of Lara Croft, Tomb Raider.

(Photd 51 – 63): Banteay Srei is where you can find the famed Oriental Mona Lisa.

(Photo 65 – 93): The fabulous Angkor Wat really has a lot to see. I spent half an hour (17:00 to 17:30) trying to capture the so called golden Angkor Wat (i.e. the setting sun converting the dark grey colour of the stone into golden red) without success. According to our guide the best time of the year to take such photo is March 23 (though I believe it should be March 21, the spring equinox).

(Photo 94 – 99): Performance at the restaurant where we’d buffet dinner.
