Caught my eye, photos in Cambodia :)

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I love the temples.

We always bought stuff from the sellers. I loved the Wintermelon Tea!

Some pictures I took at the south gate of Angkor Wat recently. It's the one that you can spot on the approach road from Siem Reap in the forest across the moat. Nearly all of the windows were blocked up with stones scavenged from elsewhere with just a slot for a gun. That inside platform of stones has "I love you- kikilu" on it but that's probably recent. The Buddha inside is in a poor state and looks like it was vandalized long ago.

I took a solo trip out to Kratie years ago.

I was exploring around a Wat when I saw the 'bell' they used to call the monks.

To my eye it looked like the forward part of a Mk. 81 250lb'er or some kind of howitzer artillery round.

You could see the threads where the fuse would be screwed in.

For 8 centuries in the upper temple in Sihanoukville, they use the hub from the wheel of a truck as a bell. :)

OK, cleaned up a few posts. Let's not derail this great topic. And let's respect non native English speaking members and cut them some slack on their use of English. Thanks

Carry on with the great pics!

Some great pics there, I liked Lambo's elephant in Snookyville. I have a similar photo. How does one post photos nowadays, I always thought it was too difficult. I liked the temple windows with the gun slits as well, I never saw that.
I must go through the vintage ipad and see what i have...

It's dead easy to post photos if you click on the thing with the green head on the bar above. There's also a post with instructions by UT to walk you through it somewhere. Mods ?
