One of the must see temples in the Ankor Complex is Ta Prohm. Most would remember this temple monastery because of its association to the 'Lara Croft Movie' by Angelina Jolie, and others because of the lasting impression it makes to the visitors. They say that ta Prohm was one of those very few temp…

Not more than 20 kilometers north of Ankor, sits Banteay Srei. The name means 'The Citadel of Women" most likely because of the intricate carvings. Historians believe that the carvings here couldn't have possibly be done by a man but rather by women because of the detail and intricacy. Unlike the ma…

after an hour's ride on the remorque-motor through the dusty and bumpy road, which was a butt numbing but terrific experience, we finally reached kbal spean. along the way we saw all these dusty faces and cring children, and it was depressing to see them playing in mud, seemingly without a future to…

Apart from the wonderful Angkor Complex, a day trip to Tonle Sap Lake is a must when visiting Siem Reap.
The amazing lake and river system of the Tonle Sap is quite unique. This vast lake; the largest in SE Asia, fills with the waters of the Mekong each year, bringing vast numbers of fish and i…

A floating village is an amzing place to see how humans are able to modify themselves to live in this lovely plannet! At floating village, I came across nearly 200-300 houses built on wodden platform and some on old boats, tied up at the bottom of the lake. My car driver/guide told me that the lake …

a small distance away from the red piano guesthouse, free tours of the Artisans d'Angkor workshop are conducted upon arrival. superb worksmanship from the workers in the workshop studios, every line seems perfectly carved in front of your eyes. across the road from the workshop is a retail shop sell…

passing through, we discovered an open workshop right next to Preah Ko with all these scaled(1:100?) mini models of the various temples and ruins carved from stone. through our driver we found that there wasn't any entrance fees but donations are encouraged. we took a few pictures there and decided …

selling a wide range of products, Rajana is the place to go to for quality local items at a good reasonable price. it is worth it for the quality of the items though some figurines and instruments are definitely slightly more expensive than what the villagers can offer you at the temples. me and my …

we were shopping around since it was the last day in siem reap and found this shop selling an iron Buddha's palm paint coated to look aged. these palms are everywhere and we had gotten one each for $9 the previous night so we weren't really thinking of buying another one, but were just looking aroun…

situated next to the Blue Pumpkin, kokoon is a boutique made up of high quality local items. be warned though that prices do not come cheap in this place as it is meant as a higher alternative to the small side stalls of the old market. dealing in tea sets, delicately carved figurines, silverware, j…
