Visit Januar 2020

Yet another Angkor Site, but has it’s own charm. Nice setting in the slopes of the holy mountain.

From the ticket office, there is an electric bus to the site. We got there in the morning, not many tourists and not too hot. The middle section was nice to explore. The main temple requires a few stairs to climb. The main temple has some very nice reliefs. We also went looking for the elephant stone, crocodile stone and the holy spring.

The small museum is also worth a visit though not outstanding.

We opted to stay in a small guesthouse on the riverside of Mekong in Champasak. It is a charming small village. It used to be the seat for the royal family. The river was surprisingly clean. We went swimming in the river on an evening trip to the island Don.

It was great just roaming around in the countryside on a motorbike enjoying the scenery and the friendliness of the lao people.
