Temple in the Jungle
This afternoon we went to Prasat Kravan and Banteay Kdei, entering the later by the unsed south gate as it was the dry season. After that, we ventured to Ta Prohm, on of the most popular temples and see how nature is trying to take back the buildings.

    On the way back to the resort, we spotted a number of monkeys by the road, hopeful that tourints would stop to feed them.
