Miami to London, London to Seoul, Seoul to Bangkok, Bangkok to siem reap... we spent a long time in airports and on planes...  the joy of frequent flyer miles travel. Here's Beth waiting at the brand new airport in Bangkok, sometime near dawn, don't know what day...

  • Early morning in the Bangkok Airport airport #3 of 4 on our way to Cambodia
  • Beth in the Bangkok Airport
A driver and porter from the Amansara resort met us at the airport in a classic Mercedes

  • The classic Mercedes for airport transportation
  • Our driver and porter
  • Beth and Michael in the classic Mercedes that picked us up from the airport in siem reap
The drive to the resort gave us a pretty good idea of what was to come

  • Angkor Wat in the distance
  • A little closer to Angkor Wat
  • A local wedding posing for pictures in front of Angkor Wat
  • Government employees cleaning the moat of Angkor Wat
  • Mostly they're removing some sort of aquatic weed
The resort was lovely

  • In the room, fresh lemonade and spring rolls to welcome us
  • a nice touch
  • The view from the shower onto our private patio
  • From the patio looking in at the room
  • Amansara, our room from the desk looking towards the patio
  • The main pool at the Amansara
  • Remoks for local transportation
