Used up the last day in our pass visiting some more temples today. Angkor Archeological Park is massive, and covers so much area and history.

How does access work to Angkor National Park? Well you purchase a one, three, or seven day pass and have to upload your picture too. May seem annoying, but we were constantly asked for our passes and they were scanned. I wish more national parks did this, cause it helps keep the crowds down and the pilau (trash) out.
We purchased our tix online and took our pics at the airport in Hanoi
elephants!
moar elephants!
reenactment of how the restoration team excavated these temple and statues
Drainage (dragon?) built throughout the temple. If you look close everywhere , the engineering is just gobsmacking
More engineering awesomeness with the drainage
amazing ❤️
endless seeming corridor
Sacrifice stone? Not sure, shitty wifi and Google is failing me right now
Aloha
The size and magnitude of these ancient temples is very humbling
Shored wall. The restoration, preservation, and upkeep of this world heritage site is global effort. All temples are “sponsored” by global countries along with Cambodia. Cool to see a lot of university students getting first hand education.
Very hot, and we returned to Siem Reap for cocktails and food.
Like most of SE Asia, food is so great
Yummy
Adult arcade games 🍾
Found a lil bar that also had karaoke and BOGO drinks, ruh roh raggy!!
Got snacks on the way back to the hotel
As y’all know Shawn is lactose intolerant, but loves cheese. I need to keep a better eye on him when he chooses snacks from 7-11
EDIT: Holy fuck, this was basically noodles, cheese, and ghost peppers. There was no warning of the Scoville level with that cute cheese-hugging character on the package 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
