It is International Coffee day, and memories of Cambodia coffee comes to mind. Khmer Coffee carry unique taste elements of chocolate, cardamom and cinnamon. Meaning the coffee is suitable for iced coffee without sugar or sweet dairy products. #visitCambodia #foodie #coffeelover #culture #coffee

Photo shows two glasses of ice cold drinks standing on a wooden table. The black drink to the left is coffee. The light yellow to the right is a banana fruit shake. In the background furniture of a restaurant is visible. Under one of the tables, a cat lays stretch out, enjoying the coolness of a tiled covered concrete floor.

Early morning at a very ancient khmer temple Ak Yum Situated on the south bank of West Baray, you look down on the oldest surviving temple mountain in Southeast Asia. Older than the Angkor empire. #AOTBT #architecture #worldculturalheritage #khmerempire #visitcambodia #visitsiemreap #prasatakyum

Photo shows the remains of a very old square mountain temple called Ak Yum in Angkor, Siem Reap, Cambodia. The base layers are complete, but on top only the north arch gateway and the centre square piece is left. The red brown laterite stone is quite similar to the sandy area around the temple. Photo is taken from the east at sunrise, and the warm colours of the rising sun is making the temple shine yellow and red. To the north, a tall dike higher than the temple is dividing it from the great West Baray Water basin. Tall trees on top of the dike shades the temple during the day.

Take a Rolls Royce to Angkor What is your preferred travelling style visiting Angkor? This beautiful Rolls Royce Silver Shadow brought a nice, elderly couple for a dream tour to Angkor Thom. I can understand why. #westgate #angkor #kingdomofwonder #visitcambodia #visitsiemreap #rollsroyce

Photo shows a stylish classic black Rolls Royce luxury car in front of one of the gates to Angkor Thom, Angkor Park, Siem Reap. The gate is in Angkor Thom style, meaning t has the base design like the towers in Bayon Khmer style, but with the stone faces of the Bayon temple. They are probably the face of the king Jayavarman VII. In front of it is a classic black Rolls Royce luxury car of the 1950s. Register number 2AI-4633, The black RR matches the classic architecture of the Khmer imperial gate in brownish-red stone with a blue background. The detailed stonework with elephant heads in support and the four face royal head of king Jayavarman VII the Great on top of the gate are distinct qualities of the Khmer art and architecture 850 years ago. On both sides of the gate the ring wall of Angkor Thom continues into the trees and forest with a deep green colour of the foliage. The gate itself is very clean and newly maintained, and the red laterite stone is very visible red and warm yellow in the raising sun. The sky is mostly cobalt blue with lightly traces of clouds.

A midway surprise Prasat Rorng Ramong This small temple is by the main road between Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom. It is significant because it gives a good idea of how these early temples was build into the Angkor structure. #PrasatRamong #AOTBT #visitcambodia #visitsiemreap #worldculturalheritage

Photo shows the remains of a Khmer temple tower. It has a platform with stairs lead up from a stone laden causeway. On top of the platform there is a gate in a ground floor wall. It leads into a room with an altar and small guard statues. The three other walls are partly fallen down. The top of the temple tower is lost. The temple is made of red laterite stone.
It was once probably three towers in this 1100 year old temple, but to the north of this there are some remains of a platform and gate lintel. The third tower is probably long gone. Around the platform there are remains of a Yoni basin, and some stone art. The open area is covered by dirt and fallen leaves, and is flanked by green forest. In the background the main road between Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom is visible. Cambodia is as safe, comfortable and kind as ever.

Photo shows a female macaque monkey with a slightly world weary, experienced and exasperated look on her face. She is sitting on the edge a stone platform with her hands gripping the stone in front of her. Behind her the platform ends in a rough stone and earthwork wall. The platform and wall are in shadow, and comes out in a cold blue colour tone. Part of the platform and the lady is lit up by sun, and the brown-yellow fur with the white hair in her head is clearly a warmer colour tone than the platform and background.

Morning at Srah Srang Baray This sunrise spot is the laterite docks in front of the Banteay Kdei. Aka 'A Citadel of Chambers', but also known as "Citadel of Monks' cells”. Visit Banteay Kdei is a suitable activity after the sunrise. #angkorpark #Cambodia #banteaykdei #visitsiemreap #srahsrang

The rising sun is about 30 minutes off being clear of the horizon but has risen through a layer of morning fog and clouds before reaching a height with deep blue sky. A bit higher on this morning sky is another belt of clouds.

Got the sun making out with a particular wild cloud before setting for the night. Not exactly the calming sunsets from the clichés. The soothing part are the rice fields. Cambodia grow the best rice in the world. It is chhnang ឆ្ងាញ់ៗ – delicious! #sunset #sky #drama #visitsiemreap #cambodia #rice

Photo shows several dramatic clouds mixing with sun rays in different colours and visible sun rays in an early afternoon sunset with lots of shades of blue. It is over rice fields green and rich, with ditches and dykes making lines in the photo. In the background there is a tree line marking the border of the rice field. And the horizon line for the sky. A couple of trees are here and there on top of some of the dykes. Cambodia is as safe, comfortable and kind as ever. Angkor and Siem Reap warmly welcomes visitors.

No food after midnight, no water, and stay away from bright light The monkeys at Phnom Bros temple are very used to humans. These banana-crazed pig-tailed macaques are also quite the personalities, for good and bad. Like the pose of Stripey here. #2019CE #Cambodia #monkey #PhnomBros #gremlin

Photo shows a Macaque monkey sitting on an old concrete side rail with Khmer holy text written in. It is half turned and looking at the viewer with a sort of expectant mooch. It has the greybrownblonde fur typical of its species, but at the top of its head there is a visible dark black stripe contrasting the rest of the fur. In the background there are tree trunks and branches with green leaves. It is a bright, sunny day and both the animal and the trees are backlighted by the sun. Cambodia is as safe, comfortable and kind as ever. Angkor, Kampong Cham and Kampong Thom warmly welcome visitors.

Prasat Lolei, ប្រាសាទលលៃ, is the northernmost temple in the old capital of the Khmer empire Hariharalaya. Finished in 893CE, the temple group of four towers was dedicated to Shiva. King Yasovarman I later moved the capital to Yaśodharapura, near Angkor Thom. #893CE #Angkor #Cambodia #Roluos #siemreap

Photo shows the side of two brick temple towers in early Khmer style. The one closest to the camera is restored with wall arts and stone details of high quality, but still with some darker details and stone near the top. The dancing apsaras reliefs are visible, but the one closest is mostly a green-grey outline. Its neighbour tower is more completely renovated, and the red bricks on the top is clean red. It is early on a sunny day with slightly overcast blue sky. The morning sun gives the towers a warm yellow-red glow.

Prasat Banteay Chhmar meaning in modern Khmer is Temple of cats. A figure frequent here is the Lokeshvara, the compassionate Bodhisattva. Lokeshvara was given eleven heads to better hear the suffering of humans, and a thousand arms so he could help all of them. #BanteayChhmar #Temple #J7

Some details are very worn out, like the face, but most of the carvings are still very visible. Around the main figures there are rows of figures praying or bringing offerings to the Lokeshvara. There is a decorated lintel on top. Over the rows of prayers and behind the bodhisattva there are trees, temple and stupa towers. Cambodia is as safe and kind as ever.

Moments of sun, rain and gold With over 20 pagodas in the city proper, there are a lot of visible monks in Luang Prabang. Admittedly, this one was more visible than most. One of the more stylish approaches to protect against the elements I have ever seen. #umbrella #luangprabang #Laos #2015CE
