My travel experience in Cambodia

Among the majestic ruins of Angkor, the tribes of the jungles of Ratanak Kiri, the decadent charm of Phnom Phen and the majestic Mekong a trip through a nation that is trying to back away the terrible ghosts of a painful past ... whose traces are still clearly visible ... journey continues in Thailand ...

 

Bangkok

First day arrival in Bangkok and a brief tour of the city

From Bangkok to Phnom Penh

Scalcagnate with a company ... we fly from Bangkok to Phnom Penh ... just arrived are attacked by a mass of drivers of motorcycles and tuk tuk (motorbike with a trailer type wagon) I want to accompany

Phnom Penh, to Ratank Kiri

PP will be able to Ratanak Kiri, the uninhabited region of Cambodia, from the black jungle, they live in a myriad of different ethnic groups. The plane always scalcinato more ... and not talking to the airport ... construction of a wooden blank there was nothing niet ...... runway without landing .... we landed on earth ... Living in Ban Lung dusty capital of the ... I visit a couple of waterfalls and a volcanic lake in the middle of the jungle

Voen Sai and Cambodian jungle villages

Day excursion to villages of ethnic groups noted in the Cambodian forest. I arrived by scooter to the town of Voen Sai and from there on a boat, we climbed back up the Tonle San river until you reach the village dell'etnia Kachon and visit the cemetery Chunchiet and its colorful and fun graves. Note the photo of the tomb of the village head, shown with the phone in the pocket. Then visit a Chinese village, a Laotian and a kreung. At the end of the day visit to a plantation of pepper

From Ban Lung to Kratie

Leave the region of Ratank Kiri and I diriggo south to the Mekong Kratere City .... Exhausting journey by car for 8 hours .... The guide was written that Cambodia has the worst roads in the world with the Mozambique ... I understand why ... there were 7 in a car with a child of 1 year to vomit and his mother that after a while he emulated ... Chinese musichetta ball from stereo ....

Kratie

A lively town on the banks of the Mekong, which is famous for a colony of river dolphins ...

Phnom Penh

Returns to capital pp. Cities where contradictory degradation and luxury living ... Where open wounds caused by the horrors perpetuated in the past. The madness of the Khmer Rouge that in just 3 years the regime has killed one third of the national population and the repeated wars have made Cambodia a country with more land mines to metroquadro. This first day devoted to visit the colorful and somewhat kitsh pagodas of the city. Then to visit Tuol Sleng, where the Khmer Rouge imprisoned and tortured enemies of the regime. An inconvenient place, but a must if you want to understand the tragedy that has passed these people

Phnom Penh, Khmer new year's day

Morning visit to the central market and then to the beautiful museum Khmer (unfortunately could not take pictures), the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda (the interior could not be photographed), all coated in silver with precious stones all kinds. In the evening I attended the festivities you Khmer New Year, people use the flour and throw water on him .. a little girl I was swimming and floured for benin! Unfortunately, the photos that night I did make schifo

Finally Angkor

It arrives in Siam Reap near the ruins of Angkor, the place of greatest interest to tourists from all over Southeast Asia. No doubt one of the most beautiful in the world!
The Angkor area is vast and includes a myriad of sites. Spnderò 5 days at Siam Reap to see as much as possible.
The first day had little time available to me are limited to a short sample. A view of Angkor Wat from a neighboring hill

Angkor full immersion part 1

Alarm clock at dawn to see the sunrise at Angkor wat! All day in the area of Angkor Archaeological until sunset ... Also visit the fortified city of Angkor Thom with the Bayon disturbing!

Siam Reap Roulos

Visit site Roulos near Siam Reap. The archaeological remains date back to a period prior to those of Angkor.

Chong Kneas floating village

Visit to Chong Kneas around Siam Reap, a floating village on Lake Tonlè Wis. Shocking pictures of children who are swimming in that water putrid ...

Last day in Angkor

The beautiful temple of Banteay Srei with beautiful ornaments, the very special bas along the bed of the river Kbal Spean in the jungle camboggiana (unfortunately it was the dry season the river was almost non-existent) and for the interesting conludere ruins of Banteay Samra
