More Cambodia and Bangkok Pictures

A post from our visit to Chaing Mai to come soon .... in the meantime, enjoy the rest of the pictures from Siem Reap and Bangkok that we didn't have time to post last week before we left.

Ged spotted these cuties while outside one afternoon in Siem Reap

he gave them the thumbs up sign and got this in return!

our view of the town during cocktails one night in Siem Reap


clocks at the hotel in Siem Reap - something's off and we didn't think it had anything to do with confusion over daylight savings time


old market in Siem Reap - you could find anything here ... silk scarves, eggs, paintings, a whole assortment of fish - you get the idea

Emerald Buddha

lotus blossoms in water outside the temple with the Emerald Buddha - people would dip the blossom in the water and touch to their head with a blessing






a ride along the "klongs" - the canals in Bangkok

getting good luck by dropping coins into the metal pots at Wat Po - the noise from everyone doing this resonnated throughout the building and was very cool

materials used for the scaffolding in prep for work to be done at Wat Po - a little different than NYC
