After visiting Angkor Wat, and before heading to Angkor Thom we stopped at the Phnom Bakheng. It was once the state temple of the first Khmer capital in Angkor and was built in late 9th century. Climbing the hill to reach the temple supposedly rewards with views towards Angkor Wat and all the area around. In my opinion however, it was way too far, to actually enjoy any views of the temple complex. Adding the heat while climbing (it could also be climbed by an elephant ride) a

Angkor Wat was an amazing experience, but it was just the start of our tour around the Khmer ancient heritage. Another major site is Angkor Thom. We entered by its South Gate - the best-preserved of its five getaways. An impressive causeway received us before arriving to the gate.

On our first afternoon in Seam Reap we found a very nice and not very big temple - Wat Preah Prom Rath, just next to the river. In the courtyard there is a statue of a carriage, telling an ancient buddhist legend about

Thailand has always been a dream trip for me, especially Phuket. I guess we've all visioned ourself at the paradise white sand beaches from "The Beach". But before getting to the relaxing part of the vacation, we've decided that getting to know the culture of the country is always a good ideia. And what better place to do that, than Thailand's capital - Bangkok. After having a bit of a disappointment arriving at the hotel due to some pretty noisy neighbours from the construct
