Angkor Wat & Bayon

Siem Reap 7am
We were greeted by our trusty driver, here's Bun Han who will bring us around for the next 3 days. My colleague travelled with him just some weeks back and introduced him to me. After a few emails, it was settled that he would meet us at the airport.

First stop was to Angkor Wat. Here we are still outside the main temple and the moats are partially filled with water as the rainy season just started.

Next we headed to Bayon Temple where the almost all its facade was carved with buddhas faces.

The carving on the walls were a semblance of what we saw in egypt.

There was a photoshoot in progress and I caught a few shots of this beautiful woman. There I was perspiring away and she just looked resplendent and flawless.
