Let’s go Cambodia – arrival in Siem Reap

Sua s‘dei! (hello in Khmer) Early of April, I was on a 3-day and 2-night tour in Cambodia with friends. I knew three days would be too short to explore the tranquil beauty of the land of most magnificent temples in the world. So I’d decided to take as many photos as possible. The trip had turned to a training ground for photography.

Most friends on this trip including I had not been to Cambodia, so we knew next to nothing of the country. On our arrival in Siem Reap, we were so excited and anticipated of what was to come. As for my first impression when we arrived, Cambodia would be similar to Thailand of its architecture, culture and art, until I studied the distinctiveness of the country and people on the three days exploration.

Well, I have to spare more time to do the photos and writings these days. Let’s have a quick through of our packed itinerary:

Day 1

• arrived Siem Reap
• visited Ta Prohm Temple
• visited Angkor Wat
• took bus to Phnom Penh

Day 2

• visited Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum
• shopped at Russian Market
• visited Killing Fields
• Mekong River cruise

Day 3

• shopped at Russian Market
• shopped Central Market
• goodbye Cambodia

May all beings be happy. Sharing some shots of the arrival in Siem Reap.
