Photos from my final day in Kompong Thom, part 2

Great views at the top of Phnom Sruoch after you climb the stairs - we took the back route!
Two sandstone pedestals provide the platform for these modern statues
A rock shrine of a collection of old stones and pedestals on the summit of Phnom Sruoch
One of the 3 damaged Sambor Prei Kuk lions that sit outside the Kompong Thom museum
A kala with Vishvakarma lintel inside the Kompong Thom museum - though the light for photography was appaling

Thanks Sandra - I'm not convinced about previous life experiences, but I do tell people that my favourite province in Cambodia is Kompong Thom...why? they ask...the people is my response.

All over Cambodia, I have received generous and genuine welcomes and its the people who tipped the scales in making me decide to set up home here in Cambodia, but its in Kompong Thom province where I have found the most welcoming of people.

Maybe its my best friend Sokhom who has given me this rosy view of his province, but though I have made lasting friendships in every province, its Kompong Thom where I feel most welcome. Long may it continue.
