Recording an eye-opening trip with Intrepid from Bangkok – NW Thailand – Bangkok – Siem Reap – Angkor Wat – Tonle Sap – Phnom Penh in 2009.
Thailand
Riding elephants through the jungle, north-west Thailand
Enjoying the results of a Thai cookery class, Kanchanaburi
Suspension bridge, central Thailand. We climbed up to the little shrine on the ridge in the distance
View from the shrine, over the main temple and the country town it serves
Royal Palace, Bangkok
Canal view, Bangkok
Cambodia
Angkor Wat reflected in its own broad moat
Ta Prohm, the ‘jungle’ temple at Angkor, in the rain
Cambodians get good value out of small engines.
We counted five people on one scooter, but look at this … it is towed by a scooter, probably 150 cc.
The tour group rode round an island in the Mekong River
‘Floating’ village (actually on stilts on 3 or 4 metres of water), Tonle Sap lake
Inside the main temple in Phnom Penh
For more, and larger, photos of Angkor see my photo gallery, Teachings of the Buddha.
