In early December I spent three beautiful weeks in Cambodia and I did a reportage.
Great country, lovely people. :wink:

CC welcomed

beautiful images; first and second are my favorites :)

I'm traveling to Cambodia, Laos and Thailand in June this year - hope I can take pics as good as these :)

Where about did you go?

Thanks Chet,
you 'll get great time, they are three beautiful countries.

So many things to see and to do.
Temples are good but always crowded of tourists.
After a wile you'll get enough so try to spend time with people.
They are (locals) awesome and very friendly, especially in the country side.

I went to Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang, Prasat Preah, Sen Monorom.

Will be easy to take great pics because the beauty is all around, any shoot will be perfect and full of soul.

Enjoy

Fab

that really sucks to hear - I had a feeling that might be the case. Are there any times when it's not so busy?

I just had a look at your flickr site - many more wonderful photos on there from your trip. Looks like you had a ball, although some of the stuff you saw I imagine would bring a tear to your eyes.

Yep,
I've been lucky...I'd say patient :lol:
Sometimes it has been impossible not just to shoot but even to visit some places!!!!!
Best time is lunch time...but it could be too hot and the light too harsh.
However June is the "Rain Season" so around 1400hrs might rain, giving to you a good opportunity to get a suggestive sky and "clear up and select" the touristic pilgrimage.

A lot of tears....but it is part of life, it "IS" the life.
The world is not just fragrances and roses....That's what I like to catch.
