Cambodia was one of the most beautiful countries we visited. What it lacks
in infrastructure it makes up for with its beautiful ancient temples and
breath-taking sunsets. Here are my top 3 trips to do in Cambodia:
1..One of the first places we visited was Koh Ker Temple
which is situated 2 hours outside of Siem Reap in the abandoned forests of
the north. On the way, there are several small temples which have all been
engulfed by the surrounding forest making them quirky and unique. The main temple itself is pyramid in shape
toppled with wild greenery and remains relatively well intact for being built
in the 10th century. It was originally built for the King himself whereas most
of the others were built for the Gods, which makes it rather unique and worth
visiting.
2.
I highly recommend dragging yourself out of bed and
going to the Angkor Wat sunrise tour. It starts around 4.30am when your picked up
from your accommodation and driven in a rickety old bus to the ticket office
with tickets costing around $37. From there you are driven to the temple to await
the sunrise. (Tip: make sure you watch the sunrise from outside rather than
inside the temple it’s a far better sight). After the sunrise, you are taken to
see Bayon Temple which is covered in happy Buddha faces which is quite a sight.
3.
Kampong Phluk also referred to as the floating village
is a must see. Floating slowly down the river through the village in an old-style
fishing boat driven by one of the locals passed men fishing with string on the
embankment and children playing in the water is a look into the true way people
live in Cambodia. The tour I was on ended with watching the sun set over lake
Tonle Sap Lake.
