Siem Reap, Cambodia
First day: In the morning I took my motobike to Banteay Srey Temple which well known as Pink Sand Stone Temple, about 37 km away from town. It's a most like temple then other because of it's unique stone. My friend name Darun a licensed local tour guide told me alot about this temple. He led me to Kbal Spean after lunch at a local restaurant nearby Pink Temple. Kbal Spean I must get off your vehicle and hike to the hill to explorer scupture in the bed of river. Hiking took about 30 minutes to get on there, It's amazing to bring me to the year 1050, Darun told me. We don't waste the time then left from the hill to get next temple temple name Beng Mealea Temple a sister of Angkor Wat most call jungle temple because it's standing hardly because of think jungle surrounding, I was very tired. Back to the town. Second day: Sunrise at Angkor Wat Temple I must get up early in the morning Either Darun. We miss our breakfast in town but it is ok to find in front of Angkor Wat. It's great for me to have experience with him to take pictures of the sun behind the temple with other travelers! After breakfast we went to Bayon Temple through a giant face South Gate of Angkor Thom City. It is a big old city which Jayavaraman VII built, he lived in the former Royal Palace, Terrace of Elephant, Phimeanakas Temple we completed our plan today morning. I was keen to see Angkor Wat Temple but Darun recommended me to visit in the afternoon is better he just said that Angkor Wat facing to the West that we can see clear every part of the temple, he told me about Taprohm Temple the one that also under big tree, we went there. Yes it's like Darun said I started to listen again with the very long history & legand of this temple but I also like to take pictures. My believes is I have to climb to the middle tower for lifting up my destiny. Return to the town for dinner and go for a walk around the city in the night. Third day: I left from the hotel by a 4WD with Darun and driver to Koh Ker Temple located 160 km from Siem Reap today we stayed there with no return and slept in a cottage of local people. Roasted Chicken and Fish Sour Soup for dinner. We packed lunch from Siem Reap. Next morning is my fourth day on the way back we turned left at the croos road Dam Dek to see Kompong Klang the fishing village. Our 4WD keep at the pier and we continued to the middle of the lake by wooden motor-boat to see fishing acts, unbelievable trip that I never had, here I saw lots of River Shrimp, I asked to a man on a boat how to fishing he laughted then he show me his cages and tell me when is the good time to put these cages to the river, I know from that day that they pick up their cages in the night of the full moon.
