Siem Reap Travel Blogs - Page 18

It has been a few day since I returned back from South East Asia & It has been depressing but my friends have made it easier to adjust to Sydney life again. My photo's couldn't convey how amazing South East Asia is and how much I enjoyed the holiday.

We travelled to Japan, Thailand, Cambodia and Bali, Indonesia

When you're in Thailand, might as well make the trip next door to see the amazing temples in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Siem Reap is a different world from industrial and bustling Bangkok. The rural nature and at times heavy poverty, is more than apparent. Still, something about this small dusty town (perhaps its relationship and proximity to some of the most beautiful religous architecture on Earth), made it an amazing and throughly worthwhile trip. Can't wait to go again.

Beginning in Vietnam and ending in Cambodia. Hopefully I won't get malaria this time.

So I left Thailand's beaches behind and onto Cambodia, starting in Siem Reap.  Whereas Thailand is fairly well developed, Cambodia is still a decade or so behind.  Once you get out of the 15 or so city centre blocks in Siem Reap, the streets are no longer paved, housing is basic by wester…

well... after that last email we tottered home, banged on the shutter, got let in by a weary member of staff and then scuttled off to bed but all of a sudden i felt the room spin and felt really sick so i bolted to the bathroom and spent 20 minutes vomiting my guts up like a trooper and then i stum…

By referral of a Canadian who works in Poipet, I was connected with the famed Taxi mafia...Shocked the moment I entered into Cambodia, the mafia was all over. Took a mafia cab to Siem Reap and they jacked the price to a ridiculous amount while surrounding me. I was with a Thai who overheard them ta…

2e journee a Angkor. Des temples et encore des temples... Il fait beacoup plus chaud et humide qu'hier. Une chance on avait prevu une petite journee... seulement 5 temples pour 5h 1/2 de visite. Et on a fait la grasse matinee et on a commence a midi. Les temples de ce circuit sont moins …

I chose to be obsessed with doors. Subsciously I always tried to pose near a frame or door, or any openings..Quite weird, I know...
