Siem Reap Travelogue III

This is my 3rd blog about Siem Reap and why I still couldn't finish the post???? Semester break already started and I am still stuck here. So my objective today is finish the Siem Reap travelogue!

After Bakheng Hill, we went to the Noon night market to scout around and to fill our stomach. We were so tired and I just realise that we didn't take any photo from the noon night market. Well, for the first night we were walking around there, we were kinda scared as the streets are quite dark and there are not much tourist on the street. Well, we were just scaring ourselves; heard from kun that the people there is actually quite good and their crime rate is just LOW. On our way back, we went for foot massage @ USD4bucks per hour. It is just too comfortable that we fall asleep for the whole session.

The next morning, we were up at 615am to get ready for breakfast and 645am, our driver is waiting for us.

Off we go to Angkor city, first, Angkor Thom

Magnificent entrance



Bayon temple with 256 buddha's smiling faces



Baphuon temple...i think..



Elephant terrace


The whole Angkor Thom is so big that we took around 3 hours to cover what we wanted to see. Meaning, there are still places that we were unable to cover. There are a lot of reconstruction being done there, some of the places are blocked and I think, if you want to visit there, you should go now, or you just wait and wait until they fix everything. However, I assure you, that is gonna take a long long time as there are so many to be done at a big area.

My next log will cover ta phrom and angkor wat!
