On my way back out of the temple grounds I gazed at the Naga. Its a mythical creature, basically a multi-headed snake/dragonish thing used to protect the temple.
Surrounding this and many temples is a moat. This one still holds water and gives a nice reflection.
On our way to the next temple we needed to make a stop.
Yup you guessed it we needed gas. This is a typical local gas station. There are a couple regular ones too, but these are specifically for motorcycles. Its a lower quality gas imported from Thailand, sold per 1 Liter Johnnie Walker Red/Black Label bottles. Some use glass Pepsi bottles, but only is they don't have enough Johnnie Walker.
This one has an umbrella but most are out in the open everyday in the hot sun just waiting for a stray cigarette or lightning strike to cause havoc.
1 temple down on the first day...no bones broken. I'm happy!
We continued on to the next temple Preah Ko. More on it coming soon.
