We paid an exorbitant USD40 per person entrance fee to get access to the entire Angkor sites for 3 days. Upon purchasing the tickets, we were asked to take our photos which was provided for free. The pass/ticket was issued immediately. Cambodians can enter any part of the site for free. It's not that I'm complaining or anything but the USD40 fees per person is a very hefty sum. Not everyone comes from a US-currency friendly country.
We have to present the ID to the guards when they request for it.
This is the south gate... the tower is majestic and pictures do no justice to how magnificient the structure is.
The face of King Jayavarman VIII. Just look at the details!
This is Cambodian's mode of transportation which is somewhat the equavailent of our bus.
A popular tourist spot where you can snap a photo as if you were speaking with King Jayavarman.
What is visiting a country without shopping? =D The ladies can really shop while the men wait for them outside under the hot sun!
Can't remember the name of this place but an incredible shot as no other souls spotted in the photo!
For USD1, you can get a plate of this delicious noodle. It's spicy and not really what you call a wholesome meal but very tasty indeed.
And I really wonder how all these images get sculpted along the walls of the Angkor.
