Temple Run Series : Angkor Wat

We’re back at Angkor Wat, this time to tour inside the temple. At first we wondered why this is our last for the day, since it’s just about 2 PM. Our guide told us that it will take 2 hours to tour inside. I did not believe at first, but then you won’t notice you will really be spending about that much time going around inside.

The Angkor Wat reflection in the afternoon.

Entering the Angkor Wat will start at this hallway, where walls are engraved with scenes during their war times.

Then you’re outdoors again, having a nearer sight of the temple towers.

You will also see engraved images of the apsara women in the temple walls.

And inside the temple you will find a monk, where you can get “prayed over” while he ties a yarn bracelet around your wrist.

Nearing the exit, is this huge statue, a place for their worship.

Heading out of the temple, the heat is intense again.

We were sent back to our hotel, where we got few hours of rest before our night itinerary – dinner buffet with Apsara dance, and shopping and massage at Angkor Night Market (yes , we went again!).

The buffet dinner was so-so. There were a lot of food to choose from, but for me there was nothing special or outstanding. It was also nice to see their cultural dance, but the music was too slow, that I felt sleepy while watching. 

We decided not to finish the whole show, and so we went to the night market. 

We still have half a day to spend the next day, so we’ve planned to visit the farther temples -- Banteay Srei and Pre Rup.
