The Tree Temple

by Henrik (22/02/10) Email

While in Cambodia and visiting the Angkor Wat temple I also visited other places. One of those places were a place simply called "The Tree Temple". It is not a temple for worshiping tree, but a temple that has been overgrown by huge trees. Once the whole temple was overgrown, but most of it has been cleared away. The trees that are left, can't be removed because they are helping the temple to stay together. It was a very interesting place to visit. The trees and their roots were massive. The biggest flaw of the place is that it is filled with tourist and I had to wait a while for each photo opportunity. (And as with all the other Cambodia pictures, they were shoot with my old camera.)

Angkor Wat

When the trip to Thailand was decided, I thought, why not take a little trip to that famous temple in Cambodia. I never know when I will be on that side of the globe again. So I check things out and it turns out that Angkor Wat is only an hour's flight from Bangkok. Making it easy for me to make a short trip to the city Siem Reap and see a few things around it, including Angkor Wat. I had a guide with me at all times, but I don't remember much of what he said about Angkor Wat. I will have to refer you to Wikipedia for more information.

Well it is quite apparent that Asian people are smaller than us Scandinavians, but it was still weird every time I read in an elevators how many people was suppose to be able to fit inside it. It didn't match up with the max weight and the size of the elevator.
