Some highlights from my recent trip to Cambodia and Thailand:

sunrise at angkor wat Sunrise at Angkor Wat.
Waking up at 4AM was a small price to pay.
on the tonle sap Boating near Kompong Kleang.
A non-touristed village on the bank of the Tonle Sap. Locals live on houseboats or in houses high up on stilts.
sunset at pre rup Sunset at Pre Rup.
The view from high above the surrounding countryside surpasses my limited engineer’s vocabulary.
inside angkor wat Our tour guide, Dara.
From surviving the Khmer Rouge to social work in underprivileged areas, his stories were both fascinating and inspiring.
vroom Motorcycle Taxi through Sukhumvit.
No thrill ride compares to weaving through Bangkok’s rush-hour on a two-wheeler.  I handily beat the Skytrain in a Top Gear style race.
soi Street Food in Chinatown.
Very lively at night and so many places to choose from.
lost Traveling with old friends.
It doesn’t matter that you don’t know where you are when you’re in good company.

Check out more photos on my Flickr (Cambodia, Thailand) and let me know what you think!
