| Heading off to the last capital city of the Khmer empire. |
 |
| In awe of the guardians of Angkor Thom. |
 |
| WTD can't wait to snap some pictures with his non digital SLR. Lo-fi photography is all the rage, yo. |
 |
| Checking out the bas reliefs depicting ancient Khmer lifestyles, beliefs and political exchange with other contemporary civilisations. |
 |
| Deciphering the hidden message. |
 |
| WTD is truly grateful that these stone structures survived all these years, and that the government allows tourists to access most of the areas. |
 |
| The great temple of Bayon with its famed 4-faced Buddhas. |
 |
| At Ta Prohm, where trees have managed to grow from within and over the ruins over time. The tree roots are engulfing the temple like some giant octopus' tentacles . |
 |
| Back to the main temple. Reliefs of the Hindu-Buddhist devata goddesses of Angkor. |
 |
| Remembering a scene from Wong Kar Wai's In the Mood for Love |
 |
| At the upper gallery of Angkor Wat's main temple. Pity the top level is closed. |
 |
Ending off the tour of the Angkor Wat complex at Phnom Bakheng Temple. |
 |
Waiting for the sunset. |
 |
| Back to the hotel.. |
 |
| And now for some drinks.. |
 |
| Breakfast |
 |
| Randomly walking around the Old Market |
 |
| WTD was about to get a heatstroke. He retreated to a cafe for some drinks. |
 |
| Cooling down at The Blue Pumpkin |
 |
| Back at the hotel again after a relaxing spa treatment! |
 |
| He would consider outdoor bathing, but he didn't feel too comfortable with the fact that some residential units overlook the back-garden. (he forgot he was nude anyway) |
 |
| Away from the mozzies! |
 |
| Leaving this resilient country. Home sweet home! |
