Re: Wat Phra Kaew (Jade Buddha Temple), Bangkok, Thailand
It's an amazing place, Mac. I've visited it four times and would go back the next time as well. Your photos do it great justice. They only thing they don't capture is the heat and humidity!

Re: Wat Phra Kaew (Jade Buddha Temple), Bangkok, Thailand
Well thank you, esteemed Gurus! It is just SO photogenic and almost surreal in its beauty and exotic creatures. A continual "trip" to experience. And how do you ever truly capture the "essence" of the temple.... Just keep trying I guess....

Sept. 6, 2016: Angkor Wat, Cambodia
Sunrise is an hour away as I make my way along the wide pathway to Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world located just north of Siem Reap. I am joined by 15 other Exodus Travels tourists and our guide Vanney. On the edge of a reflecting pool hundreds of other visitors jockey for position to get the best photo of the sun rising over the temple. Angkor Wat was built in the first half of the 12 th century. Estimated construction time is 30 years. Built by King Suryavarman II...

Angkor Temple Sights, Siem Reap, Cambodia
We travelers are very familiar with all of the great travel sights around the world and certainly the magnificent Angkor Wat temple is amongst the very best known. However, perhaps less appreciated is that this much photographed and visited Angkor Wat temple is only one temple (albeit the best!) in the vast Angkor Temple Complex.

It is pretty much what most of us will see on a daily basis if we are travelling in a warm climate. It is the life saver at the end of a hot dusty day our on the road.

Wat Phra Kaew (Jade Buddha Temple), Bangkok, Thailand
Amongst the most magnificent sights in Bangkok is the Wat Phra Kaew temple, or the Temple of the Jade Buddha. It is a riot of gilded and colorful figures in a very concentrated area within the grounds of the King's Grand Palace in Bangkok.
