Visit to Angkor Thom

On the 2nd day in Siem Reap, we visited Angkor Thom, the great capital city of Khmer Empire. Our tour guide has decided to let us visit the Angkor Thom in the morning for a simple reason that he want to reserve the afternoon hour for the visit to Angkor Wat. According to him, Angkor looks more beautiful with the setting sun.

We spend the whole morning at Angkor Thom and took quite a lot of pictures.

Visit to Cambodia

We were at Cambodia to visit Angkor Wat early June with Michael and Rocky. We flown that via Air Asia from LCCT which took about over 2 hours to Siem Reap, a small airport that serve as gateway to Angkor Wat.
