Today, March 15th, we are in Ko Chang, Thailand, heading to Ko Wai for two days, then Bangkok and Paris. Snorkeling 4 days in a row and counting. These shots are a couple of weeks old. Took way too many photos of the ruins, but had a wonderful time exploring them - especially between about 7 and 9 am, when it was cooler and less crowded. This area seemed much more evocative than Bagan, perhaps because many structures seemed in a state of decay - a huge pile of stones looking like they might have crumbled yesterday.

| Angkor Wat. |
 |
| Present from my parents - a night at the Sofitel in Siem Reap. |
 |
| Ta Prohm, being taken over by the jungle. |
 |
On a return trip to Angkor Wat, just after dawn, we discovered thousands of people there for the sunrise. Fortunately they all went home for breakfast, and we had a nice visit.

 |
| Bayon. |
 |
| Ta Prohm again. |
 |
| A young hawker. |
 |
| Pub Street in Seam Reap - crazy counterpart to the temples. |
 |
| We had some laundry done, and the laundress painstakingly sewed a piece of thread into each garment to identify it as ours. I later learned that everyone does this - only most people remove the threads before returning the clothes. |
 |
| Wonderful bas reliefs at Angkor Wat. |
 |
| Haney at the Cambodian barber - before... |
 |
| And after. |
