Bayon: The Most Mystical Khmer Temple of Cambodia

The Khmer temple of Bayon. The Angkor Complex, Cambodia.

By Irina. When in 1633, forced to recant his belief that Earth revolves around the sun, the famous astronomer and natural philosopher Galileo Galilei spoke his catch phrase “Eppur si muove!” (And yet it does move!), Bayon, the most mystical Khmer temple near the village of Siem Reap in Cambodia, was lost in the jungles… Read More Bayon: The Most Mystical Khmer Temple of Cambodia

Temples of Cambodia: Angkor Wat or Beng Mealea?

Ruins of the Beng Mealea temple. Siem Reap Province. Cambodia.

  Adventurers and vagabonds from all over the world, hurry up to see! And not only to see, but to touch, to research, to get down to the most secluded (and blocked by huge ancient stones) corners of the world.

“Breathtaking” Excursion from Sihanoukville, Cambodia

There are few exotic attractions in the only local town called Sihanoukville; however, some tiny firms propose to go to the islands to see turtles and dolphins. So, we came. Two hours on board of a frail, creaking, wood antique “speed-boat” which jumped on the waves up and down.

Banteay Srey Temple—Genuine Cambodian Woman

Banteay Srey Temple. Cambodia.

This Camdodian temple is undoubtedly a woman. You realize it even before finding out the translation of its name. Banteay Srey means a refuge of women. It was built for them. It is small and elegant like a genuine woman. Every line is well balanced, every angle is magnetic. It is neat and clean like… Read More Banteay Srey Temple—Genuine Cambodian Woman
