The town of Siem Reap is the tourist hub and starting point for the Angkor Archeaological Park. Today, Siem Reap is bustling with the building of new hotels, refurbishment of its infrastructure and the construction of the new museum to house the sculptures, statues and carved motifs from the Angkor Wat Complex.

Close to the town, is the Angkor Wat Temple Complex. The complex houses many majestic temples and over another 100 ruins dotted around the lanscape. The most famous of these temples are Angkor Wat (with its five towers), the Bayon (with its 54 towers of four faces), the Baphuon, Ta Prohm, the Elephant Terrace, and the Terrace of the Leper King. Outlying temples that are worth a visit are the Banteay Srei (25 km north) and Kbal Spean (carvings in the river bed).

Get lost in the forest and you will experience living in the past century. Be awed by the beauty of the temples as the sun rises (5.30 am) behind it and experience the calmness as you watch the sun set (6 pm) in the nearby lake.

Go to Siem Reap before it gets closed to public in 2010. This is not correct, as the Cambodian Government would lose a major source of revenue.

What a scary morning it was, well for me at least! Our bathroom, which I must mention again is shared with the other guests, the guesthouse's staff and some tuktuk drivers who pass by, is located a few meters outside our room and the water really really stinks I never thought that showering would be so much torture. Much worse, as I made my way back to our room  I was freaked out by this scary man staring at me. And there's no doubt he was staring at me (wasn't even blinking......

The Boat to Siem Reap

  What does the Funky Munky Bar and Diner in Siem Reap, Cambodia, and JC's Bar in Gladstone, Michigan, have in common? Well, me. JC's is my home bar in Gladstone and I sometimes sleep behind the place in my VW camper. After three or four beers it is risky to drive, especially after midnight. Most traffic on the roads after that hour is coming from taverns and the unusually large number of police in the small town know it. With my place five miles out in the country, it is wise on the la...

                    Just a few thoughts about Cambodia and a few photos from our last day her.           Cambodia is a country full of contrasts.  On one side the areas with hotels, restaurants and shops for the tourists and on the other side real life for the citizens of Seam Reap.       The past.     Cambodia is a country trying to rise from the shadow of the cru...

It's 5AM and still pitch black when I walk across the bridge into Ankor's Wat's gates, the stars reflecting in the waterway below me. The outlines of the temple spires rise ominously over me as I step into the structure's shelter. Out of the darkness, a great Buddha statue appears, swathed in bright orange cloth. I make my way down to the edge of a long square pool that leads all the way to the main temple, and sit down. Slowly, tourists straggle in and fill out the area. Locals are selling ...
