The Suzanne Visit, Twelve: More Temples

There’s actually an excruciating number of shots from all the other temples. Instead of going through all of them post-by-post, here are the best. A handful of shots from each of the additional temples we visited. First, Takeo:

The Suzanne Visit, Six: Angkor Wildlife

Following our tour of the Bayon, Suzanne and I spent a few moments catching our breath before heading over to Bakheng for the sunset. Aside from having some fun recording these GIFs, we took some pictures of local Angkor Thom wildlife (below).

The Suzanne Visit, Five: A Bend through the Bayon

My return to the Bayon this time evoked a powerful curiosity that I think was directly related to the lack of heat. This trip was substantially cooler and more comfortable than the first time I visited Angkor Wat. With less heat came a greater concentration on the inscriptions and wall carvings. The experience was much more meditative and detail-oriented. You’ll also notice some attention paid to the vandalism here, too.

Photo Reflections: Visions of Angkor Part 2: Angkor Thom and the Bayon

If you’re in Siem Reap and you’re checking out the temples, you will see Angkor Thom. It’s basically right around the corner from Angkor Wat and the area the tuk-tuk drivers take you to immediately after you’re done with Angkor Wat. There are a lot of food vendors. There are a handful of possible scammers trying to get you to support their school with all your money, and there are a lot of ruins. The experience is good, but big. See a lot of the visuals from our time there, below.
