Day trip from Phnom Penh

Day trip from Phnom Penh
Day trip from Phnom Penh

These are the pictures I have taken during my last trip to Cambodia. I have cheecked out all major landmarks in PP itself, so decided to rent a motorbike and go somewhere.

Prices are much cheaper than national museum or Angkor. Honestly, after Siem Reap I couln't imagine there could be $2-5 tickets. Not that it is a big deal, but nearby countries usually dont charge more than that, so Cambodia has to be competitive in this matter.

First five pictures are from Ta Prohm temple of Tonle Bati. This temple is pre-Angkor, but you can see similarities. I havent felt so serene for a long time. Pictures 6-10 are from Phnom Tamao Zoo. What is interesting there is that deers walk around completely free. Of course, potentially dangerous animals are in cages. Nice experience, especailly if you dont walk from place to place. The last picture is from another temple to the south of this zoo i have mentioned above. I dont know why dont they renovate these towers. Maybe because this is a monastery and they want to preserve original look,who knows. All in all, I think not only PP has some sights to cisit, but also can be used as a starting point to a day trip outside the city. I havent been to some other places like their previous capital, Oudong, so there is still much to see for me there!
