Dawn at Angkor Wat, Cambodia

Sunrise at Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia

Posted on September 27, 2013May 10, 2021

After strolling through the Pub Street and the Night Market I managed to hit the bed by mid night. When the alarm went at 4.30 am the next day in spite of being disoriented I did not want to fling the cell phone against the wall. You see, I was going to watch the sunrise…

Thai Food

Food Tales from Thailand and Cambodia

Posted on September 26, 2013May 10, 2021

I have lived in hostels for close to 12 years and mess food killed all my taste buds. However it has been 11 years since I left hostel and I am regaining some interest in food. Mind you just a little, so don’t expect much out of this post. I am now going to talk…

Where Lotus Grew Like Weed

Posted on September 25, 2013May 11, 2021

What do you do when you see pretty flowers on your dining table? When I saw the bunch that is featuring below we started a discussion, whether the lotus flowers were real or not! I mean have you seen a lotus flower arrangement like this before? I had not, for sure. My first question to…

Posted on September 24, 2013May 11, 2021

We visited the Puan village- Ban Dong Krathong Yam in interior Thailand. It was a peaceful village with a stunning temple and a large community hall. The people were hospitable and hosted us for sumptuous lunch. They also put on an excellent cultural show for us with the ASEAN theme. However the activity that provided…

Posted on September 23, 2013May 11, 2021

After the glittering dance performance (about which you can read here) at Siem Reap we were dropped back to our hotel, Sokha Angkor Resort which is a mighty fine hotel. It was surely not beyond 9.00 pm. We had just one night at Siem Reap so we wanted to cram in as much as we…

Scintillating Dances from Siem Reap, Cambodia

Posted on September 21, 2013May 11, 2021

I spent just one night and two days in Cambodia but what an everlasting impact it left. As part of the ASEAN Media Trip we were hosted for dinner by the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism at Royal Angkor Resort. Along with the dinner, they also hosted a scintillating dance show for us. The scene was…

Royal Hills Golf Resort, Nakhon Nayok, Thailand

Posted on September 20, 2013May 11, 2021

I am not a morning person at all. I used to be at one point. But then I gave up on it completely. Weekends mean getting late up late and that is the biggest incentive for me, other than drinking many cups of tea. But after I started enjoying photography I read about the golden…

Rong Kluea Market, Aranyaprathet- Where You Can Buy Pink Eggs and Much More

Posted on September 19, 2013May 11, 2021

Aranyaprathet is one of the Thailand-Cambodian Borders. The next day we were headed to Cambodia by road after crossing the border. When I got down at Aranyaprathet’s Ban Khlong Luek Border Market (also known as Rong Kluea) I had just woken up from a nap in the van. For the while I looked at the place with bleary…

Do you remember my note to self before I headed to Thailand and Cambodia? It is time to put point No. 3 (more videos) in action. I spotted the youth playing a kind of shuttle game with all parts of their body, only the use of hands was barred. I was not sure how would they…

Pub Street, Siem Reap, Cambodia

The Fish Pedicure at the Pub Street, Siem Reap, Cambodia

Posted on September 17, 2013May 11, 2021

I am not much of a spa or pedicure, manicure person. I have never had a facial in my life till date. Thailand and Cambodia are full of massage parlors but I was not really looking for a massage. I have been to a few spas in the course of my travels but I really…
