Just Another Temple in Cambodia – But Oh wat a Temple!
If the King’s Palace in Cambodia is all too formal/expensive for you I have an alternative that is close by and does not cost a cent. Walk up the road with the Palace walls to your left. A couple of streets up on the right is a very old temple.
Gateway to temple complex
Everything here is crumbling but of course this adds to the ambience.
There were no mangy dogs and the monks are happy for you to look around.
There are some interesting statues in the grounds – not sure what is going on here!
Loved this statue
It really pays to screw your courage to the sticking post and have a wander off the beaten track – this is what you could find. Amazing stuff. And of course you can have a well-earned drink at the Foreign Correspondents Club just down the road.
A Word in Your Ear 
Awsome and beautiful photos you have shown us. I am very glad you posted them. Not just another temple.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Fantastic pictures!
Nice photos and a great play on words in the title.
these are amazing pictures…missing the country, but hopefully visiting soon! thanks for sharing! very inspiring….
Like http://travellingartist.wordpress.com/, you are taking me to places I know I will never get to and you are doing it with such fabulous photos. Thank you.
Reblogged this on All About Travel.
You know, I was kind of ambivalent about going to Cambodia next year, but after going through your posts I’m off to book my flight! Wat a temple indeed!!
Great images. The details really help with the feel of the location. Good photo essay.
Your great photographs make me sorry I missed this temple – too busy gettting to the FCC for a beer and a table by the window.
Awesome!!! Was the Foreign Correspondents Bar worth it? I was going to eat there the other night and then was just too tired to go.
I’ve always found oriental Art fascinating. I should move there.
Great shots of a charming, unassuming wat. What did you think of Phnom Penh? I wish I’d spent a couple of weeks there, there seems to be a pretty active expat scene. I had to leave a reply – you were the first person to “Like” me. So it’s real: I’m out:)
It was good to visit but good to leave if you know what I mean!
That temple looks amazing. I’m actually going to Cambodia in July so I’m going to add it to my list of attractions to see:)
FABULOUS photos…Cambodia has been on my ‘list’ for a long time…love your blog…great photography!
Thank you Jevene – I hope you get to go there.
Great photo’s again, but I wouldn’t expect anything else from you. My favorite is the top one with – the monks (I think it’s).
great post dear!
I didn’t notice this place at all! If only I did, I would have gone there for sure.
It seems really nice! I want to go there!!! 🙂
this is so cool, you get to travel and photograph! Love the colors in the photograph, very deep and rich!
