Cambodia

At Ta Prohm, the roots of the trees embrace the stone. I love this temple of Angkor, where you can almost think you are an explorer, discovering mysterious ruins buried in the jungle ...

Angkor Wat: the best-known, largest and most visited temple. It has even become a national symbol: its towers adorn the Cambodian flag. 

I wanted to see the Angkor temples again. In particular, the Bayon and its towers, sculpted with enigmatic smiling faces. To see again and again... I love it!

For once, I'm not traveling solo, but with a friend. Between the two of us, the tuk-tuk is the most practical way of getting from one temple to another in Angkor and around Siem Reap.

Siem Reap is the town next to the Angkor temples in Cambodia. My previous visits here date back to and . It was already crowded. But this time, well... it just took on a whole new dimension. The traditional sunset at Bakheng Hill is well worth the detour.

Until I find time for another post about my own travels, here's my latest travel video find: The Angkor Temple Experience.

Lagrandeaventure.fr globetrotters Benoît Bringer and Alexandre Franceschi are in Thailand. Four years after the tsunami, they take us from Koh Phi Phi to Koh Tarutao, in the Andaman Sea, in a short web video report that won me over. The title: Thailand, the ecological challenge.
