Photo shows Gondolas with artistic khmer figures at the head stem at bay in Angkor Thom moat. Ready to be rented for punting around the ancient city walls. The water is still and mirors the Gondolas, the blue sky and the forrest covered old city wall in the background.

That time I encounter someone visiting Angkor Thom in style.

Siem Reap, Cambodia, kingdom of wonders. And surprises.

Photo shows a stylish classic black Rolls Royce luxury car in front of one of the gates to Angkor Thom, Angkor Park, Siem Reap. It is a sunny day with blue sky. The black RR matches the classic architecture of the Khmer imperial gate in brownish-red stone with a blue background. The detailed stonework with elephant heads in support and the four face royal head of king Jayavarman VII the Great on top of the gate are distinct qualities of the Khmer art and architecture 850 years ago.

Photo shows the soft warm colors over three local khmer boats at anchor and a small hut with halfway foundations into a large artificial lake. In the front are the tall dikes securing the water at max filling, now growing with grass and flower turfs at a moment of average water fill. The lake surface is almost still, and the light blueredwhiteyellow colors of an early sunset sky is mirrored in the lake.

The triple hidden tower temple

Bat Chum Temple is unique because its architect is known by name.

It was supervised by the architect, minister and guru Kavindrarimathana for King Rajendravarman II approximately 952CE.

Photo shows a bike beside a stone marker announcing the name of the three-tower temple in the background as Prasat Bat Chum. It is written in Khmer and English, yelling the temple was built appx 950CE. The temple is in early Khmer Angkor architectural style. It is covered by scaffolds caused by a several year long restoration process. It is surrounded by tall, green forest and the platform for the towers stands on a green grass covered ground. It is a sunny morning with a visible clear blue sky. Cambodia is as safe, comfortable and kind as ever. Angkor and Siem Reap warmly welcomes visitors.
