International Coffee day, and a memory of Cambodia coffee to share.
No big fan of Ice Coffee, being a Scandinavian means coffee shall be as dark as a starless arctic winter night, strong as a valkyrie and hot as Muspelheim.
Khmer Coffee have some unique taste elements of chocolate, cardamom and cinnamon.
The coffee is suitable for iced coffee without sugar or sweet dairy - chocolate, cardamom or cinnamon gives the necessary balanced taste.
An early morning bike to West Baray and the very ancient khmer temple Ak Yum.
Situated on the south bank dike, you look down on this pre-khmer empire temple. Considered the oldest surviving temple mountain in Southeast Asia.
A truly unique feature is a well from the top of the temple leading to an underground cellar.
Some speculates that Ak Yum was part of the last capital city before the Khmer Empire.

The triple hidden tower temple
Bat Chum is an "off the main track"-temple worth visiting.
One unique aspect of this temple is that the architect is known by name.
Bat Chum was supervised by the architect, minister and guru Kavindrarimathana to King Rajendravarman II approximately 952CE.
Another unique aspect, it was built as Mahayana Buddhist Temple when the Khmer Empire still had Hinduism as state religion.

Take a Rolls Royce to Angkor
Exploring on a bike is my primary style of visiting Angkor Archaeological Park. This beautiful Rolls Royce had brought a nice, elderly couple for their dream trip to Angkor for a long time.
I can understand that urge.
There are several companies renting out sporty and/or vintage cars for people looking for that special travel experience in Siem Reap. Or planning a very special event.

The midway surprise Prasat Rorng Ramong
This small temple is by the main road between Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom.
A glimpse from the early, old capital,
Rorng Ramong was built during the reign of Yasovarman I, the great king that moved the Khmer imperial capital from Hariharalaya.
This temple is significant because it gives a good idea of how these early temples was planned and build into the city structure.

Greetings from Granny Sampov
Met this not easily impressed lady macaque in the temple complex on top of Phnom Sampov, outside Battambang.
Somehow she reminds me of certain family. Namely the ones who always wonders why younger family members haven’t moved back, and why they’re not married yet. With an added advice to settle down and start a proper family.
Phnom Sampov are known for its bat cave. But there is much more to see.

A ladybird beetle for big luck
This large ladybird beetle was a visitor next to me enjoying morning coffee. A forecast of a lucky day. Heading out to visit the Angkor Archaeological Park is always a happy experience.
TM: Biodiversity
There are 15 registered variants of Ladybug or Ladybird beetles in Cambodia. Probably there are many more.
When it comes to biodiversity, Cambodia is a well known hotspot in SEA.

One of the great yearly events in Siem Reap in February is the Great Puppet Parade.
The puppets in the parade are made by local school children and teenagers. It is organised by local NGOs. Supported by professional artists and designers the result is mind-blowing.
Along with the puppets, there are live performances by artists and musicians. Showcasing what a vibrant art & culture scene the 2nd largest city in Cambodia have.

Noodle nests scaling up
In the Khmer capital, good food is just as important as in the rest of the Kingdom of Wonder.
This business produces egg noodles, and whatever they don’t use in their own breakfast restaurant is sold as dried noodle nests.
The first time I saw this place, there was only a single row of drying racks. Last time, they were at the double.
And the woman on the bicycle passed by unbothered both times.

When your home *is* a temple
Temples in Cambodia are marvels of intrinsic details, but sometimes the cohabitants are, too. Like this one at Phnom Sampeau.
The monkeys at most of these temple sites around Asia are peaceful, knowing they are safe and have access to food and water. But they are also nosy and cheeky, and any seasoned traveller know to keep their belongings, food and water well contained or hidden.

Smoking good Khmer BBQ street food
When you want to buy street food in Asia, you will not lack choices.
Like chicken, quail, sausage, pork, pineapple from this happy chef.
Trick is to follow a local chef and her fav street food joint. Or – the joint with the longest queue.
And your nose, of course.
You can get well fed with left overs for 5 USD.

An evening with seafood Khmer BBQ
Tiger shrimps, squids and veggies on the BBQ, rice and one of M’me Khmer chefs own, home made dipping sauces.
And a beer.
That is great comfort food and drinks.
For seafood lovers
Cambodia is a great country for seafood lovers.
In a typical, classical Khmer diet around 60 percent of the protein are shellfish and crayfish from river, lake or sea.
And flavourful, worldclass Khmer rice.

Fishing in the warm colours of the morning sun
Anlong Veng in Oddar Meanchey Province is a typical small town in Northern Cambodia, close to the natural ridge and water divide, marking the modern border to Thailand’s Isaan region.
The countryside in the north of Cambodia is very pretty in itself. Add in a lake, some people and animal going on with their peaceful business in the setting sun. It turns incredible beauty.

Blue face in blue night
Night markets in Siem Reap are in several spots. This one is from the newest, established in 2018.
The blue colour of the hour just after sunset is enhanced by a large painting in blue variations of a Bayon portrait. These stylised portraits covers the facade of Bayon Temple in Angkor Thom.
The night markets are one of the night life activities in Siem Reap, visited by tourists and locals alike.

The colourful monastery
The living quarters for the monks at Wat Thmey monastery are not spacious, but definitely well cared for and maintained. And the details sure is a colourful statement.
This monastery is connected to Thammissararam Pagoda, in the Roluos village in Siem Reap Province.
I have visited this monastery several times, as part of attending Cheng Meng-rituals and Pchum Benh with Khmer friends.
