… continue from Day 2 (Part 4/5) – I heart Preah Khan

We told Mr Tuk-Tuk that we are really tired and can no longer walk. So we shall skip small temples. Anyway, all the temples has the same…. ole… thing…..sss……..

We have too many photographs and can’t recalled some of the temple’s name or where it was shots.

For example this…

But I can remember very well that he is the first person that asked me for Candy. I was very surprised that he says that in English.

And again, the doorway.lol.

This one again don’t know which temple.

It could be taken from Angkor Wat and maybe not. At the time of the incident, we was quite bored with all the stone, slabs, bas-relief, apsaras dancer and etc, we went and morrest (spelling mistake on purpose!) the apsaras dancer. Sheesh…. don’t tell anyone, ok? And look where is my hand rested? *slap self* Duhh!

Ok, ok! Back to my trip. So we was tired and Mr Tuk-Tuk can sensed it too. He thinks we should just head straight to Ta Prohm if that is the case. I’m all excited for Ta Prohm cos that is where the filming of Tom Raider took placed.

This pic could be taken from Ta Prohm or Preah Khan. My memory starts to failed on me.

Woohoo! Finally, this is the last temple. But wait. Where is the little door with lots of roots crawling on it?

“Oh, that one is in Ta Som.”

OMG! I need to slap myself. How can I overlook it. It’s my own fault. There is no way we could turn back to Ta Som if you were to look at the map. If you want to know what is so nice about Ta Som, Google it. iBet, you will drool over the roots.

We started out at 5am and took 7 hours to visit all these temples. Can you imagine how tired we are by now? No more temple hopping for us. That is for sure! But the days is still early (12pm). Since we already book the tuk-tuk (US$15) for the whole day, might as well we took our own sweet time now.

Off we went for lunch. Mr Tuk-Tuk recommended restaurant outside Angkor Wat as he claimed that the food is nice. Our priority now is cleanliness and secondary is the price.

That is some Khmer Traditional cooking of fish & wild pepper leaves (daun kaduk) in coconut milk. On the bottom right is Vietnamese spring roll. Good news is, I’ve bought some of the spring roll skin. Will definitely make them one day. Is a matter of time now. Our lunch cost us US$10 (inclusive of steam rice & drinks). Ok lar. A bit pricey in Siem Reap but I can afford to pay them. *ngek ngek ngek

So, what are we going to now? It is only 1pm. Think! Think!

Negotiation came. We will visit the Silk Farm by paying Mr Tuk-Tuk extra US$2. What a catch! We don’t even need to bargain with him.

Exiting Angkor Wat, we adjourned to Silk Farm. It’s a long way to go. Really, really very far from the town.

This is the only flower that catches my eye.

That’s all for Day 2. Mr Tuk-Tuk dropped us at our hotel again.

US$17 for him. At least he did not con us, ok! Remember his number ya, 4167! Or if you stay in Temple Golden Villa, you can always get his phone number from the hotel reception.
