Awkunh Cambodia! Thank you Cambodia!

We had the most amazing 9 days in Siem Reap! Cambodian people are super friendly and helpful! The food is amazing and the Angkor temples are just breathtaking! Cambodia is definitely a must visit country! We only saw a little glimpse of Cambodia and loved it! so we can only imagine how wonderful the rest of the country must be! 

We leave you with same random shots of the Angkor Archaeological complex, 

After Siem Reap our next destination was Thailand! Bangkok!

A great surprise: Siem Reap

Siem Reap is the base city to explore Angkor Wat. We imagine it being super busy and with a lot of scams! But we were positively surprised! Siem Reap is actually a really nice city to relax and have some amazing tom yum soup and curries! 

Our fist dinner was just yummy! mango salad with a really nice fish and rice,

Here are some of the yummy dishes we had!


Superrrr yummy tom yum soup!

Amok Fish,

We had as well Cambodian hotpot but we have to say is not as nice as the Japanese one!

yummy noodles!

and fried rice,

We had our dinners almost always on the exact same place! the food was amazing and cheap! The family managing the restaurant was just lovely! 

Some pictures of Siem Reap that still maintains a very colonial look,

The Angkor Wat Sunrise and the Big Circuit

We had been biking the last 4 days to Angkor and it had been amazing! But it would be tricky to reach the Angkor Wat Sunrise by bike and after reach all the temples of the Big Circuit! So we took a tuk-tuk for the day in order to see both!

We never expected so much people to be there at 5AM... but it was full of tourists with their humongous cameras!

We waited and waited.... the sky was really cloudy,

With a little help of my color filter I was able to pull a bit the sunrise colors,

With our matchy-matchy tshirts,

Exploring the Angkor Wat temple,

The breathtaking sculptures that showed the conquers of the Kings,

The view from the top of the Angkor Wat temple,

Leaving the Angkor Wat we saw a couple of monks...

that were basically posing for a tour group...

The Angkor Wat is a beautiful temple but we personally liked better the Bayon and Ta Prom temples!

Time to continue our exploration! visiting the Big Circuit that contains the temples further away from Angkor Wat: Preah Khan, Neak Pean, Ta Som, East Mebon and Pre Rup.

Our ride!

In the temples there was always a lot of little children trying to sell you postcards and impressively they knew how to count them in a couple of languages!

We found this little dude,

We truly loved every single day we visited the Angkor Archaeological Park! It was really nice to take our time and absorb all that majestic beauty!
