Angkor Wat, Cambodia - Thursday 25 August 2022

The next morning, I was picked up at 9am and we headed to Angkor Wat. First stop was the ticket office where I bought a one day ticket for USD37.


Then we drove a bit further to Angkor Wat...


It was raining and warm. I walked across this floating bridge to the entry. This body of water is a moat that surrounds Angkor Wat on all sides...




Looking back to where I had started...


Walking in to the main entrance...






I climbed up these very steep stairs in the rain, which was a bit hairy...






We then drove to the next temple called Angkor Thom. Bayon is a famous temple within Angkor Thom.









Outside Angkor Thom were many baboons...








I met my driver and we headed to Ta Prohm Temple.











I was all templed out by now, so my driver dropped me back into Siem Reap town to a restaurant he recommended. I had some vegetarian spring rolls and a tea of some sort...


And Chicken Amok which is a traditional Cambodian dish...


I then walked back to the hotel and sat by the pool...


That night I went to a rooftop bar next to my hotel. I had two beers. I was the only one there.


Then back to the hotel and crashed.
