I visited Thailand and Cambodia in September 2013. It was a memorable trip. I was there on invitation from Tourism Authority of Thailand. It was my first Thailand Cambodia trip. It was also my first experience of visa on arrival which went without a hitch at Bangkok! Tourism Authority of Thailand was quite gracious as…

The Road Trip- Poipet Siem Reap
I have long given up trying to click pictures from a moving bus. I mean I do click a few when I see beautiful landscape but without much hope. Most of them get blurred. My road trip from Poipet-Siem Reap was an exception. Poipet is on the Thailand-Cambodia border and popular for road crossing. The…
The Smiling Faces of Bayon- The Center of Angkor Thom, Camboida
Out of nowhere the rain started falling heavily as we were nearing Angkor. My heart sank, I have had way too much of rain on many of my trips this year. I was left wondering if I would see Angkor in pouring rain! It was not what I wanted. Heavy rains mean the camera stays…
Sunrise at Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia
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…

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…
The Pub Street and the Night Market, Siem Reap, Cambodia

Scintillating Dances from Siem Reap, Cambodia
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…
Dress Code for Women in Cambodia
I usually search for the dress code when I am about to visit a new country. Being from India I cannot go really wrong as we are conservative in our dressing sense. But the advice I see often is done without any photos. I have now made it a habit to do a post on…
Time to Say Bye to Thailand and Cambodia
Time flies, when you are traveling it flies faster! I was sitting at Dusit Thani about a week before and here I am again, to take the flight back home tomorrow. So it is time to say bye to Thailand and Cambodia. It was such a wonderful trip! I have by now gained at least…
