Bangkok, Ankor & Hanoi 2007
March - April 2007

Traveling through South-East Asia... finally!!!

So far our holidays have mostly been spent going back home to the Netherlands. But it would be utter madness not to take advantage of the fact we're living in South- East Asia to take a round trip through the region! So we booked ourselves for two weeks to visit Bangkok, the temples of Ankor Wat and Hanoi. Below is a day by day recount based on the notes I made throughout the vacation plus photos with commentary. Some comments are more detailed than others, but you get what you get.

Highlights of the holiday, in order of appearance:

  • Bangkok's Chatuchak weekend market
  • Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace in Bangkok
  • Vegetable market and Chinatown in Bangkok
  • The mysterious faces of Bayon in Cambodia
  • The bas-reliefs of Cambodia's most famous temple, Ankor Wat
  • The overgrown temples of Ta Prom in Cambodia
  • Cambodian Buddha statues dressed in orange cloth
  • The Asian-French atmosphere in Hanoi
  • Hanoi's art galleries

Lowlights (to be avoided):

  • Dusit, Bangkok's boring park with boring royal buildings
  • Sunset at Phnom Bakheng, Ankor, Cambodia
  • Vietnam's many hustlers and scammers
  • The Women's Museum in Hanoi

Below are the pictures, classified in three sections: Bangkok, Ankor and Hanoi.

There is a very long story accompanying all these great pictures - read all about it at the entry for March-April 2007 (either in recent or in the archives...)
