Snapshots Cambodia

If I were to describe my stay in Cambodia through photos these pictures would do the trick.

Cambodia the Kingdom of Wonder

"You never realize how small you are in the vast expanse of history until you sit down and think about it."

Angkor Wat

Chilling in Pre Rup

Beng Mealea's jungle ruins

Sunset in Angkor Wat by the lake
This sunset was better than the much ballyhoed Phnom Bakheng sunset. 

The Bayon's smiling faces


The encroaching trees in Ta Prohm

The maze-like ruins of Preah Khan

This girl sold postcards to visitors and surprised me when she spoke in three different languages. She first asked the tourists where they were from and when someone responds she starts talking in their language. She spoke Mandarin, Spanish, and English.

There were plenty of children roaming the tourist district of Siem Reap just to make ends meet. The contrast of what Cambodia was during ancient times, a rich civilization to a poverty stricken one, was on full display. With Cambodia's rich cultural past, I wouldn't be surprised if they begin their ascension from poverty in the near future.

  1. Cambodia. It is just few hours away from my place here in Thailand. Too bad that I have no time to visit this country because I have just few weeks left here in Thailand.

    It is sad to see Cambodians reduced to poverty. Theirs is a great culture and Angkor Wat is a testament to that. Too bad that Polpot and his minions came. He caused a lot pain to the people of Cambodia.

  2. Great shots of Cambodia. Seeing Siem Reap photos and being there twice still amazes me at how ancient civilization came up with these temples.

  3. The regime of Polpot has caused a lot of pain for the Cambodians instead of going up they went downhill.

  5. I found the kids there really entertaining (sometimes annoying). They'd ask you where you're from and then they'll give you your country's capital. Galing din mag English haha One girl even exchanged her dangling earrings with mine. I look forward to going back there!

  15. Now, I feel my regrets. I was in HCMC for like 4 days. I was supposed to do a 2-day trip there. But failed to pursue it. If there's a seat sale bound for SR this summer, I'd take it!

  19. Ah! Cambodia. the land of stunning temples and of course, Pol Pot. The country has a very rich history, although tragic at some point. If I will be given a chance to go there, I'll do exactly what you did. Thanks for sharing.
