Kami tertarik dgn skirt cambodia. Since we come early at Old market, we can get cheap price. For them first customer is call 'pecah telur'. It means luck to have first customer in early morning. If we bargain we might to get really cheap price.
One thing that i like about cambodia is that the creativeness and full of art. This painting is so lively. beautiful.
In the old market, not only ada jual barang kering (souvenier/tshirt/pakaian) tapi ada juga jual barang basah (ikan/buahayam). Bukan itu sahaja, ada juga tempat gunting rambut di dalam old market.
Abg salim bought us air tebu limau nipis. woww refreshing. Tq again abg salim.
Then we went some temple.
Along wish to come here the Blue Pumpkin Cafe. Pastry, ice-cream and coffee. Free wifi too! kinda hipster here. Resting kejap.
Done resting. We heading to make our one day pass to visit angkor wat (tomorrow) and Phnom Bakheng Hill (to see beautiful sunset)
Pic taken on the spot. smile!! Motif buat tangan tuh along? tak masuk pun tgn dlm pass. kikiki
This is the pass. cool!
Start our hiking to Phnom Bakheng Hill.
Thank god we are hikers tegar. haha
At the top of the hill.
Waiting for the sunset. So hottttt.
Find the best spot quickly.
The view of the Angkor Wat from the top of Phnom Bakheng is featured in the movie Tomb Raider (when Lara Croft looks through the binoculars upon arriving in Cambodia).
Some said it is the world's best sunset. U judge urself..but i do agree!
Phnom Bakheng (Khmer: ប្រាសាទភ្នំបាខែង) at Angkor, Cambodia, is a Hindu and Buddhist temple in the form of a temple mountain.[1]:103 Dedicated to Shiva, it was built at the end of the 9th century, during the reign of King Yasovarman(889-910). Located atop a hill, it is nowadays a popular tourist spot for sunset views of the much bigger templeAngkor Wat, which lies amid the jungle about 1.5 km to the southeast. The large number of visitors makes Phnom Bakheng one of the most threatened monuments of Angkor.

Magnificent and awesome architecture. Wow just Wow.
Ukiran di dinding mengisahkan tentang peperangan yang terjadi.

Di Angkor Wat, Semua patung akan dipotong kepalanya. U hardly fine one patung that have his head.
Steepest step. here to enter the top of angkor wat you need to fully cover your self. No short and singlet allowed.
Done exploring! Dah lewat pagi tak ramai dah. Tadi subuh ni penuh dgn org ramai nak shoot sunrise.
Bayon. One of my personal favorite temple due to its architecture.
Bayon (Khmer: ប្រាសាទបាយ័ន, Prasat Bayon) was built during the reign of the famous King JayavarmanVII in the late 12th century to early 13th century. Bayon is the heart of Angkor Thom capital city. It is a Buddhist temple and it was the last mountain temple in Khmer Arts and consecrated to the Buddhist cult.
The Bayon was built nearly 100 years after Angkor Wat temple. While its basic structure and earliest part of the temple are unknown, it is clear that Bayon temple was built on the top of an earlier monument and that the temple was not built one time. It was the Gold Tower with four faces and there are 54 tower which represent the Khmer provinces in the Great Khmer Empire Period (Angkor period). The iconography of the four faces represent the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara – Lokeshvara – and it is generally accepted that the four faces on each of the towers are images of King Jayavarman VII, which means the omnipresence of the king. And it also symbolizes the four smiling face as charming smile, sad smile, glad smile and beautiful smile. There are about 200 faces.
-info from visit angkor-
When I visit the Bayon Temple, I still feel the splendor and magic from the people in this time who were able to construct all the amazing temple in the Angkor Kingdom. For me the architecture plan is the greatest one in the world. You should try visit there some day
Abg salim belanja ice-cream! wahhh baik sgt abg salim nih.
Nampak tak bekas merah tuh? Dalam tu abg salim sediakan botol air mineral dan ice. so sejukk. mmg penat touring Angkor wat nih.

mystery temple in the middle of forest and tree.
The famous Ta Prohm. macam angelina jolie kan kami. haha =___=
Why does this temple is famous?
The temple of Ta Prohm was used as a location in the film Tomb Raider. Although the film took visual liberties with other Angkorian temples, its scenes of Ta Prohm were quite faithful to the temple's actual appearance, and made use of its eerie qualities.
Abang salim belanja lagi. malu kami. Makan petang katanya. Traditional kuih kemboja.
dah jenuh pusing Angkor Wat yang besar gile..kami dah sakit kaki. Balik je touring, kami mkn n shoot ke sini,. happy hour n free wifi. nice! Full body massage. perghhh. terbaik.
