The East Mebon ប្រាសាទមេបុណ្យខាងកើត is a 10th Century temple at Angkor, Cambodia. Built during the reign of King Rajendravarman, it stands on what was an artificial island at the center of the now dry East Baray reservoir. The East Mebon was dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva and honors the parents of the king. Its location reflects Khmer architects’ concern with orientation and cardinal directions. The temple was built on a north–south axis with Rajendravarman's state temple, Pre Rup, located about 1,200 meters to the south just outside the baray. The East Mebon also lies on an east–west axis with the palace temple Phimeanakas, another creation of Rajendravarman's reign, located about 6,800 meters due west. Built in the general style of Pre Rup, the East Mebon was dedicated in 953 AD. It has two enclosing walls and three tiers. It includes the full array of durable Khmer construction materials: sandstone, brick, laterite and stucco. At the top is a central tower on a square platform, surrounded by four smaller towers at the platform's corners. The towers are of brick; holes that formerly anchored stucco are visible. The sculpture at the East Mebon is varied and exceptional, including two meter high free standing stone elephants at corners of the first and second tiers. Religious scenes include the god Indra atop his three headed elephant Airavata, and Shiva on his mount, the sacred bull Nandi. Carving on lintels is particularly elegant. Visitors looking out from the upper level today are left to imagine the vast expanses of water that formerly surrounded the temple. Four landing stages at the base give reminder that the temple was once reached by boat. The temple has some ongoing restoration but it is minimal. A stop here combined with nearby Pre Rup Temple would make a great half day. Enjoy the video!

A road trip is always a lot of fun. I have been wanting to ride to Cambodia for a long time. I was very nervous about how to cross and if I’m would have any problems. I researched online and decided to try it out. I read that it is easier to cross through some of the smaller border crossings instead of Poipet. I went to Surin Thailand and crossed south of there at Chong Chom border crossing. I made copies of my passport, international driving permit, TM2 and TM3. I also registered my motorcycle with Cambodian customs at https://customs.gov.kh/en After getting to the border it was a simple task of getting through the Thai side, doing a visa on arrival for Cambodia and then customs. The whole process took about 1.5 hours and was easy. I show you what to expect and a bit of the ride from the border to Siem Reap. The trip was amazing and I hope to do it again soon.

Ta Prohm Temple - World Heritage Site Ta Prohm ប្រាសាទតាព្រហ្ម "Ancestor Brahma" is the modern name of the temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia. It was built in the Bayon style largely in the late 12th and early 13th centuries and originally called Rajavihara រាជវិហារ "Royal Monastery". Located approximately one kilometer east of Angkor Thom and on the southern edge of the East Baray, it was founded by the Khmer King Jayavarman VII as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm is in much the same condition in which it was found: the photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors. Undoubtedly the most evocative and photographic temple in all of Angkor, the Buddhist temple of Ta Prohm lies in a semi-ruined state engulfed by the jungle. The muscular roots of towering trees spill over the ramparts like the tentacles of a gigantic octopus with the leaves cloaking the temple in dappled shadow and casting a greenish hue that gives Ta Prohm an other-worldly ambience. In 1186 Jayavarman VII embarked on a massive program of construction and public works. Rajavihara ("monastery of the king"), today known as Ta Prohm ("ancestor Brahma"), was one of the first temples founded pursuant to that program. The stele commemorating the foundation gives a date of 1186. The temple's stele records that the site was home to more than 12,500 people (including 18 high priests and 615 dancers), with an additional 80,000 inhabitants in the surrounding villages working to provide services and supplies. The stele also notes that the temple amassed considerable riches, including gold, pearls and silks. Expansions and additions to Ta Prohm continued as late as the rule of Srindravarman at the end of the 15th century. Much about Ta Prohm's history is known thanks to a Sanskrit stone inscription that details the temple's dependents and inhabitants, as well as figures on the precious stones once contained within its walls. Beneath the encroaching foliage and carpets of moss lie stone reliefs of female deities and meditating monks. Dislodged blocks of stone render many of the narrow corridors impassable and those that are navigable are largely in shadow thanks to the thick roots that fill window openings. This temple is a must see if you come to Siem Reap. In addition to the photo opportunities it is famous for being the site of the movie Tomb Raider. The images of the massive trees among the temple ruins is an amazing site. Enjoy the video!

Japan 日本 Nippon or Nihon and formally 日本国, Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku is an island country in East Asia. Japan has over 125 million inhabitants and is the 11th most populous country in the world, as well as one of the most densely populated. About three-fourths of the country's terrain is mountainous, concentrating its highly urbanized population on narrow coastal plains. Beginning in the 12th century, political power was held by a series of military dictators (shōgun) and feudal lords (daimyō), and enforced by a class of warrior nobility (samurai). After a century-long period of civil war, the country was reunified in 1603 under the Tokugawa shogunate, which enacted an isolationist foreign policy. The Greater Tokyo Area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world. Japan is considered a cultural superpower as the culture of Japan is well known around the world, including its art, cuisine, film, music, and popular culture, which encompasses prominent manga, anime, and video game industries. From the busy city to the picturesque landscapes there is so much to see and do. To really appreciate this wonderful country you just need to come and see it for yourself. Enjoy the video!

Angkor, in Cambodia’s northern province of Siem Reap, is one of the most important archaeological sites of Southeast Asia. It extends over approximately 400 square kilometers and consists of scores of temples, hydraulic structures (basins, dykes, reservoirs, canals) as well as communication routes. For several centuries Angkor, was the center of the Khmer Kingdom. With impressive monuments, several different ancient urban plans and large water reservoirs, the site is a unique concentration of features testifying to an exceptional civilization. Temples such as Angkor Wat, the Bayon, Preah Khan and Ta Prohm, exemplified Khmer architecture, are closely linked to their geographical context as well as being imbued with symbolic significance. The architecture and layout of the successive capitals bear witness to a high level of social order and ranking within the Khmer Empire. Angkor is therefore a major site exemplifying cultural, religious and symbolic values, as well as containing high architectural, archaeological and artistic significance. There are many major temples in the area. In order to explore them all it would take much longer than the time most people have. These 10 temples all have different styling, history and would make a good 3 to 5 day visit very enjoyable. Enjoy the video!

Ta Keo ប្រាសាទតាកែវ is a temple-mountain in Angkor (Cambodia), possibly the first to be built entirely of sandstone by the Khmer Empire. Ta Keo was the state temple of Jayavarman V, son of Rajendravarman, who had built Pre Rup. Like Pre Rup, it has five sanctuary towers arranged in a quincunx, built on the uppermost level of five-tier pyramid consisting of overlapping terraces (a step pyramid), surrounded by moats, as a symbolic depiction of Mount Meru. Jayavarman V was ten years old when he succeeded his father, Rajendravarman, in 968. His early years of reign were turbulent and the court officials dominated the royal politics. When he was 17 (in 975), he began the construction of his own state temple, whose modern name is Ta Keo, that was dedicated some time around 1000. In contemporary inscriptions it is called Hemagiri or Hemasringagiri ("the mountain with golden summits"). This is another fantastic temple in the historical park it is worth an hour of your time to visit and climb to the top. Enjoy the video!

Shibuya Scramble Crossing 渋谷スクランブル交差点 Commonly known as Shibuya Crossing, is a popular pedestrian scramble crossing in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. It is located in front of the Shibuya Station Hachikō exit and stops vehicles in all directions to allow pedestrians to inundate the entire intersection. The statue of Hachikō, between the station and the intersection, is a common meeting place, which is almost always crowded. Given its heavy traffic and amount of advertising, it is compared to Times Square in New York City and Piccadilly Circus in London. Shibuya Crossing is the world’s busiest pedestrian crossing, with as many as 3,000 people crossing at a time. Tokyo-based architecture professor Shane Flynn has said Shibuya Crossing is "a great example of what Tokyo does best when it's not trying." This intersection is frequently recognized as "the busiest pedestrian intersection in the world" with almost no loss of foot traffic at midnight or early morning. Road traffic jams rarely occur here even during rush hours. According to the Shibuya Center Street in 2016, the number of pedestrians crossing the intersection was as much as 3,000 per green light (every 2 minutes). Shibuya Crossing is often featured in films and television shows which take place in Tokyo, such as Lost in Translation, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Alice in Borderland, and Resident Evil: Afterlife, as well as on domestic and international news broadcasts. Right next to the square is a very popular statue of a dog named Hachikō. Hachikō was a Japanese Akita dog remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, for whom he continued to wait for over nine years following Ueno's death. In addition to the square and the dog statue the area is very popular for shopping and night life and is very busy. It’s a great way to experience Tokyo. Enjoy the video!

Enoshima Geest day trip near Kamakura. Only a short train ride west of Kamakura, Enoshima (江の島) is a pleasantly touristy island just off the coast but connected by bridge with the mainland. The island offers a variety of attractions, including a shrine, park, observation tower and caves. Views of Mount Fuji can be enjoyed on days with good visibility. Enoshima is divided into a yacht harbor and a forested hill which can only be explored on foot (and paid escalators) and contains most of the sights. Several shrine buildings, collectively known as Enoshima Shrine, are found around the island and are dedicated to Benten, a popular goddess of good fortune, wealth, music and knowledge. Benten is believed to have created Enoshima before subduing a five headed dragon that was terrorizing the area. The island is a lot of fun to see. It is very popular for visitors from places like Tokyo and Yokohama to come spend a day shopping and eating. Enjoy the video!

Koh Ker ប្រាសាទកោះកេរ្ដិ៍ is a remote archaeological site in northern Cambodia about 120 kilometer’s (75 mi) away from Siem Reap and the ancient site of Angkor. It is a jungle filled region that is sparsely populated. More than 180 sanctuaries were found in a protected area of 81 square kilometres (31 sq mi).  Only about two dozen monuments can be visited by tourists because most of the sanctuaries are hidden in the forest and the whole area is not fully demined. Koh Ker is the modern name for an important city of the Khmer empire. In inscriptions the town is mentioned as Lingapura (city of lingams) or Chok Gargyar  (city of glance or as iron tree forest). Under the reign of the kings Jayavarman IV and Harshavarman II Koh Ker was briefly the capital of the whole empire (928–944 AD). Jayavarman IV enforced an ambitious building program. An enormous water-tank and about forty temples were constructed under his rule. The most significant temple‑complex, a double sanctuary (Prasat Thom/Prang), follows a linear plan and not a concentric one like most of the temples of the Khmer kings. Unparalleled is the 36 meter (118 ft) high seven tiered pyramid, which most probably served as state temple  of Jayavarman IV. Jayavarman IV ruled from 928 to 941 at Koh Ker. He was a believed to have been the local king at this remote site, possibly his homeland, before he became king of the whole empire. That could explain why he had his residence at Koh Ker and not at Roluos (Hariharalaya) or at Yashodharapura (Angkor) like the kings before him. Some historians think that Jayavarman IV was an usurper; but, the majority of them believe that he was a legitimate ruler who could ascend to the throne because he married a half-sister of king Yasovarman I (889 – 900). The site was awarded the title of world heritage site in September of 2023. It’s the newest such site in Cambodia joining Angkor Wat and others with this honor. The highlight of all of the smaller temples along the access road would have to be Prasat Pram. The five towers with two being over grown by trees is an amazing site. Enjoy the video!

CITY LAYOUT The city of Angkor Thom consists of a square, each side of which is about three kilometers (1.9 miles) long a laterite wall 8 meters (26 feet) in height around the city encloses an are of 145.8 hectares (360 acres). A moat with a width of 100meters (328 feet) surrounds the outer wall. An entry tower and along causeway bisect each side of the wall except on the east where are two entrances. The additional one, called the "Gate of Victory "is aligned with the causeway leading to the Terraces of the Elephants and the Leper King. An earth embankment 25 meters (82 feet) wide supports the inner side of the wall and serves as a road around the city. CAUSEWAY WITH STONE FIGURES A long causeway leading to each entry tower is flanked by a row of 54 stone figures on each side – demons on the right and gods on the left-to make a total of 108 mythical beings guarding the city of Angkor Thom. The demons have a grimacing expression and wear a military headdress whereas the gods look serene with their almond-shaped eyes and wear a conical headdress. (Some of the heads on these figures are copies; the original ones have been removed and are at the Angkor Conservancy in Siem Reap). A serpent spreads its nine heads in the shape of a fan at the beginning of the causeway. Its body extends the length of the causeway and is held by the gods and demons forming a serpent-like railing. It may symbolize the rainbow uniting the worlds of man and the gods. This representation is reinforced by the presence of Indra. ENTRY TOWERS Through here all comers to the city had to pass, and in honor of this function it has been built in a style grandiose and elegant, forming a whole, incomparable in its strength and expression. The five entry towers are among the most photographed of all the ancient Cambodian ruins. Each sandstone tower rises 23 meters (75 feet) to the sky and is crowned with four heads, one facing each cardinal direction. The faces may represent the rulers of the four cardinal points at the summit of mount Meru. The lower half of each gate is modeled like an elephant with three heads. Their trunks, which serve as pillars, are plucking lotus flowers. The Hindu god Indra sits at the center of the elephant with an Apsara on each side. He holds a thunderbolt in his lower left hand. Looking through the tower one can see a corbel arch, a hallmark of Khmer architecture. Inside, wooden crossbeams are visible and a sentry box stands on each side. The scale of the old city really is amazing. There is so much more to see and do in Siem Reap than people realize. The temples are amazing but so is the rest of this ancient city. Enjoy the video!

The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) hasn’t used steam locomotives for regular commercial use since the early 1980’s. There are five that are still in good working order and are used during special occasions. They have two Pacific locomotives, two C56 locomotives and one Mikado locomotive. Each year the SRT organise six steam train trips every year. Tickets cost 299 Baht. You can buy at any station or online a month in advance. The trips alternate between Ayutthaya, Nakhon Pathom, and Chachoengsao. The trains that are used usually are two Pacific locomotives. Number 824 (imported in 1949) and Number 850 (imported in 1951). These were manufactured by the Japan Association of Railway Industry and there were originally 30 of them in Thailand, Numbers 821-850. They were designed with 4-6-2 wheel configuration. In 2012, they were completely restored and modified. They had a new boiler, electric generator, and genset air compressor fitted. The train is a great way to spend a day. The reactions from everyone, from the people on the train to locals that line the tracks to see the antique steam engines, is worth the small cost of the ticket. After arriving in Ayutthaya six hours are scheduled to explore the former Thai capital. Enjoy the video!

Zojoji Temple is a Buddhist temple at the base of Tokyo Tower. Zojoji Temple 増上寺 is the head temple of the Jodo sect of Japanese Buddhism in the Kanto Region. Standing next to Tokyo Tower, the temple grounds consist of some impressive structures as well as a mausoleum of the Tokugawa family and a small museum. Most of Zojoji's current buildings are recent reconstructions except for the main entrance gate, the Sangedatsumon, which has survived many fires, earthquakes and wars and dates from 1622. The temple was originally built in the year 1393 and moved to its present location in 1598 by Tokugawa Ieyasu who selected it as his family temple. The mausoleum of the family is located at the back of the complex and contains the tombs of six of the Tokugawa shogun. The small museum in the basement of the temple's main hall focuses primarily on the previous manifestation of the Tokugawa Mausoleum, which included ornate buildings before it was severely damaged during World War 2. The temple is in immaculate condition. The styling is fantastic and the history for the Japanese people make it a must see if you are in Tokyo. You can combine it with a stop at the Tokyo Tower that is located within walking distance. Enjoy the video!

Ta Som is a small temple located at the eastern end of the Northern Baray at Angkor, Cambodia. It was built at the end of the 12th century for King Jayavarman VII and is located north-east of Angkor Thom and just east of Neak Pean. The temple was likely dedicated to Jayavarman VII's father, Dharanindravarman II (Paramanishkalapada), who was King of the Khmer Empire from 1150 to 1160. Little is known about the temple's history and purpose, but some speculate that it may have been dedicated to one of Jayavarman VII's teachers. Ta Som is the farthest temple within the forest-covered Angkor Park and is situated close to the northeastern corner of the Grand Circuit or Grand Tour. The temple is small compared to most in the historical park. The highlights of the temple the stone carvings, the natural setting and the faces carved into the stones above each of the outer gates. It’s worth a short visit if you are doing the outer loop and visiting all of the temples there. Enjoy the video!

Port FC vs Lamphun At PAT Stadium October 22nd 2023

Considered to be the art gallery of Angkor, the small temple of Banteay Srei features some of the finest stone carvings ever seen. Built of fine grained rose-pink sandstone, the walls of the temple are ornamented with elaborate floral motifs, divine figures and breathtaking depictions of episodes from the Ramayana. The decorative carvings cover practically every available surface of the temple from the pediments that display entire mythological scenes to the beautifully sculpted lintels. Dedicated to Shiva, this Hindu temple is amazingly well preserved and was one of the first major temples to be restored using the anastylosis method whereby original architectural elements are used to rebuild the ruined monument or structure. Dating back to the 10th century, Banteay Srei is the only temple in Angkor to have been commissioned by a Brahmin rather than a king. A number of scholars consider the architecture and decoration of Banteay Srei to be more influenced by Indian models. Its modern name translates as 'citadel of women' as the incredibly delicate reliefs carved into the low walls could not have been created by the hand of a man. Located further north of Angkor Wat and roughly a 30 to 45 minute drive from Siem Reap, Banteay Srei is further out than the main temples but most definitely worth the extra travel time. The near perfect technique used in Banteay Srei that has resulted in many three-dimensional carvings should be high priority for every visitor. Enjoy the video!

The Royal Palace, Angkor Thom The Royal Palace was first built by king Suryavarman I and used continuously from the 11th to the late 16th century AD. During that period, the area was transformed and restored several times. Recent excavations have revealed many remains, such as a 10th-century temple which was built by a minister to Yasovarman I, was probably considered to be this minister's residence. Most of the royal palace buildings were constructed by using perishable materials because they would have been non-religious in nature. Terrace of the Elephants The Terrace of the Elephants ព្រះលានជល់ដំរ is part of the walled city of Angkor Thom, a ruined temple complex in Cambodia. The terrace was used by Angkor's king Jayavarman VII as a platform from which to view his victorious returning army. It was attached to the palace of Phimeanakas ប្រាសាទភិមានអាកាស of which only a few ruins remain. The terrace is named for the carvings of elephants on its eastern face. Terrace of Leper King The terrace of the Leper King carries on the theme of grandeur that characterises the building during Jayavarman VII's reign. It is faced with dramatic bas-reliefs, both on the interior and exterior. During clearing, the EFEO found a second wall with bas-relief similar in composition to those of the outer wall. Some archaeologists believe that this second wall is evidence of a late rites, two meters wide of laterite faced with sandstone. It collapsed and a second wall of the materials, two meters wide, was built right in front of it without any of the rubble being cleared. Recently, the EFEO has created a false corridor which allows visitor to inspect the relief on the first wall. The curious name of this terrace refers to a statue of the Leper King that is on the platform of the terrace. The one you see today is a copy. The original is in the court-yard of the National Museum in Phnom Penh. the figure is depicted in a seated position with his right knee raised, a position some art historians consider to be Javanese-style. Its nakedness is unusual in Khmer art. Who was the Leper King? Mystery and uncertainty surround the origin of the name. The long-held theory that Jayavarman VII was a leper and that is why he built so many hospitals throughout the empire has no historical support whatsoever. Some historians think the figure represents Kubera, god of wealth, or Yasovaraman I, both of whom were allegedly lepers. This site is unique in the historical park. It is also a nice break from seeing all of the temples. It’s a must see if you come here for a visit. Enjoy the video!

Beng Mealea ប្រាសាទបឹងមាលា "Temple of Lotus Pond"), or Boeng Mealea, is a temple from the Angkor Wat period located 40 km (25 mi) east of the main group of temples at Angkor, Cambodia, on the ancient royal highway to Preah Khan Kompong Svay. Beng Mealea was built as a Hindu temple, but some carvings depict Buddhist motifs.[1] Its primary material is sandstone and it is largely unrestored, with trees and thick brush thriving amidst its towers and courtyards and many of its stones lying in great heaps. For years it was difficult to reach, but a road recently built to the temple complex of Koh Ker passes Beng Mealea and more visitors are coming to the site, as it is 77 km from Siem Reap by road. The history of the temple is unknown and it can be dated only by its architectural style, identical to Angkor Wat, so scholars assumed it was built during the reign of king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century. Smaller in size than Angkor Wat, the king's main monument, Beng Mealea nonetheless ranks among the Khmer empire's larger temples: the gallery which forms the outer enclosure of the temple is 181 m by 152 m. It was the center of a town, surrounded by a moat 1025 m by 875 m large and 45 m wide. The site is relatively unrestored allowing you to experience it in the natural setting. You also get to explore it by an elevated wooden walkway. This gives you a unique view from above. It is away from the main temples in Angkor so you will avoid the crowds. It is well worth a trip here to see. Enjoy the video!

Preah Khan was built on the site of Jayavarman VII's victory over the invading Chams in 1191. Unusually the modern name, meaning "holy sword", is derived from the meaning of the original—Nagara Jayasri (holy city of victory). The site may previously have been occupied by the royal palaces of Yasovarman II and Tribhuvanadityavarman. Preah Khan ប្រាសាទព្រះខ័ន "Royal Sword" is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built in the 12th century for King Jayavarman VII to honor his father. It is located northeast of Angkor Thom and just west of the Jayatataka baray, with which it was associated. It was the centre of a substantial organisation, with almost 100,000 officials and servants. The temple is flat in design, with a basic plan of successive rectangular galleries around a Buddhist sanctuary complicated by Hindu satellite temples and numerous later additions. Like the nearby Ta Prohm, Preah Khan has been left largely unrestored, with numerous trees and other vegetation growing among the ruins. It is massive is scale with so much to see. It isn’t as visited as the main ruins like Angkor Wat so you can avoid the crowds. It is well worth a visit if you have time. Enjoy the video!

Wat Burapharam is located on Chit Bamrung Road, Tambon Nai Mueang in Surin. It is a third-class royal temple that is assumed to have been built in the Thon Buri period or in the early Rattanakosin period by Phraya Surin Phakdi Si Narong Changwang (Pum). Inside the temple, there are important objects, e.g., Luangpho Phra Chi, a Buddha image in the subduing Mara posture. It is made with dense earthenware, and the image is also a Buddhist style similar to Khmer art that is the principal image of the temple. It is enshrined in a brick-and-mortar tetrahedral wihan on the west side of the Ubosot. In the past, officials who were accepted into the civil service had to perform the Pipat Sattaya ceremony in front of Luangpho Phra Chi. Later, it became a refuge to speak and pray for success or protection. The temple is very important to the local community and is the most important temple in the area. It was a lot of fun getting a personal tour of the temple by the head monk. Enjoy the video!
