Leg 4: Vihear we come

The Cambodian government has been urging people to visit Preah Vihear province and - not to doubt the wise - EL and I followed the advice of the Cambodian government. We were not to be disappointed.

Leg 4: Siem Reap-Koh Ker-Siem Reap (in blue).

Rather than venturing to the infamous Preah Vihear Temple (located in an area currenlty embroiled of a border dispute), we visited the Koh Ker temple complex. We saw around half a dozen temples, with the highlight being the fact that we were alone in our sightseeing.

Above: Prasat Thom, rumoured to have been built by aliens.

Almost as interesting as the temples were the mineclearing teams camped adjacent to the carpark. This small detail ensured that we refrained from weeing behind tress. Rather, it was sticking to paths and using public toilets.

Next stop: Phnom Penh
