If you haven’t noticed already, I took a lot of photos when I travelled through Cambodia. If you think I’ve taken a lot of photos from what I’ve shared on this blog, well, you still have no idea. My hard drive is full of them. When I look at all of the photos I took, it makes me wonder how I found time to do anything else when I was there. Anyway, the point is that Cambodia is such a photogenic place that I found myself constantly pressing my shutter button.
Of course, my DSLR camera wasn’t the only one getting a work out. My phone’s shutter button got pretty worn out as well, and as I do on all of my trips these days, I made live photo updates on Instagram for the duration of my trip. In today’s post, I’d like to share my favourite Instagram photos from Cambodia. Ah the memories…

I hope that these photos inspire you to visit this amazing country. I can’t wait to go back to Cambodia.
Great shots! I especially love the sunset on the Mekong. The cloud formations are awesome.
Thanks Jen. The sunsets in Kratie are always amazing. It’s the thing to do in the late afternoon 🙂
Awesome blog. And experience on photography unbelievable. All shots are really frivolous like a picture frame.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the photos.
Lovely photos. I especially like the ones of the temples and sunset. 🙂
Thanks Cheryl! The sunset one is my particular favourite as well 😉
I like the one with the man on his TukTuk! thats typical for cambodia!
It is very typical Cambodia isn’t it? There is always at least a few tuk tuk drivers lazing around in their tuk tuks, especially around popular areas such as markets.
This post is amazing. Your high quality images have captured the real beauty of Cambodia in an amazing manner. Great work.
Thank you, Rachel 🙂

Yes, yes I do. That is what us humans do for sustenance 😉 Plus I really love food.

dean ,can iask u something, whenever i visit some old places , like budhist monastry, or someplace ancient where lots of pujas has been held, i tend to feel vibrations , hav u ever felt the same
Vibrations? No I can’t say that I have, Abirami. Perhaps it is something personal for you. I take it that you are religious?
no dean i am not religious , but vibrations just enter my body , how to describe it, i dont know exactly, it feels like tiny bubbles just bursting under u r skin, sometimes i feel this is how X 100 times yogis must feel when they are in eternal bliss, it feels gud actually after that , y i dont know ,it makes me smile ,is it becoz of the places or it is just me , i always wonder, , bye ,, continue u r eating trail…..
Hi Abirami. If it makes you smile, makes you happy and feel good, then it doesn’t really matter what causes it. It is all good 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
