Last day in Cambodia.
Visited to some other 'Angkor Wat' temples like Beng Melea, Lo Lei, Preah Ko and Bakong. Gosh. The distance from town, Siem Reap to those temples is pretty far. Took us at least an hour plus to reach by car.
If you hire tuk-tuk, I think it takes you around 2 hours to reach your destination.. So, for a comfortable journey, I recommend you to hire a driver to drive you there. You only need to pay them for like RM 70 per journey? Okay wert...
First and foremost, remember to get your Angkor Wat ticket..
An hour journey to Beng Melea (means lotus pond). That far.
Entrance fees: USD 5 and there are some local Cambodians who will tour you around but pls, they are expecting some tips from you. Hello, who will wanna voluntarily bring you around without any pay? There's no such things as FREE LUNCH!
A mystical and secluded forgotten temple which is not heavily visited (discovered in the year of 1990) like some other Angkot temples due to remote location. Majority of temple has now collapsed but has been appropriated with adequate wooden walkaways that weave their way through remains and the existing structures.
Tip: Wear an appropriate footwear.
The entire journey, I just brought along my slipper with me. Aint have any appropriate footwear but best advice, bring your sports shoe with you. You gotta climb up and down of those collapsed rocks in around the temples if you plan to tour around. But I still survive with my slipper, just that you gotta be very careful. :)
It's all about climbing in here, no flat surface!
My first reaction, I was like OH EMM GEE! Are you kidding me? Tell me that you are kidding me. There isnt any flat surface in here, how are we gonna visit?!! Well, well, well.. A very rocky tour in the temple. Interesting...With my flip flops somemore.. Exciting.. Bravo!
A bridge that linked over the temple and library, but it was nearly collapsed.
Adventurous rocky journey I had. ;P
Wooden walkway makes our life easier in there. =D
A very very old temple..
Lotus pond
Ahhh. Comfy car after a hot day out there.
With aircond, perfect. Thats why its good to go with a car than a tuk-tuk. Faster and comfier. :) Worth the money!
Second temple, Lo Lei.
A very small temple, and I dont know any history of it.. So erh.. Check out the pics.
The temple is too old to standalone?
Saw some kids playing tali getah. I used to play that too. :))
Third temple. Preah Ko (sacred bull), to whom this complex of stone anAm impressed with the exquisite carvings and inscriptions on the lintels.d brick is dedicated, is bordered by a moat to the north and a moat to the south.
There are six towers displaying set on a platform, all beautifully preserved carvings.
Love this pic lots. Nice. Thought of taking a pic of the goat, but it turned out to be this beautiful.
Sacred bull? ;D
Beautiful.
Headless deity.
Whole statue was stolen..
This is really beautiful.. I like..
The weather killed me. Super hot and I cant stand the weather in there..
Last visited temple, Bakong temple.
Bakong temple is the first pyramidal shaped temple in Cambodia to take the form which researches have come to call "temple mountain". The Naga (serpent) with 7 heads found on the side of the entrance causway appears for the first time in the place which will be taken by future naga balustrades.
Its base is a great five-tiered pyramid perhaps representing the five earthly realms of snakes (nagas), birds (garudas), demons (rakshasas), nature-spirits (yakshas), and kings (rajas).
Bakong temple
Some random pose. "Top of the world"! LOL.
Headless guardian.
I like this.. Headless guardian.
And I instagram it. <3
Another nice shot that I took in Cambodia.. Father and son.
It was a really hot hot day..
Dinner at Pub Street. :)
Khmer traditional food? Yummeh.
Dinner + beer = Fantastic.
Went over to this place to catch up for Khmer performance!
Ntg special to me. More to like those Kelantanese dance.
Oh so pweetttyy Cambodian!
Took a tuk-tuk to get us a foot massage!
Hurm.. Look dark in there. Is it safe?
Well yea, my first full body massage. Dont normally do all the massaging thingy. >.<
Gotta pay additional tax before you leave. Please spare some money in your pocket.
Goodbye Siem Reap..
Thanks to my iPhone apps. Heart this photo collage!
