Peace be upon you. On to the 5th day of the Cambodia-Thailand trip 22 Nov-3 Dec 2018.
Monday morning 26th November 2018. After spending the night at a guest house in the small town of Takeo 75 km by road to the south of Phnom Penh we were ready for our next bout of adventure.
In Takeo lies an embarkation point to the ancient system of canals of the Funan empire.
The empire existed from 1st to 7nd century AD and the canal were built during that time.
So there we were on a boat ride through one of the canals...
Meanwhile you see wide bodies of water around.
But the wide waters can turn into swamps or lowlands during dry season.
The canals on the other hand are reliable ways of water transport all year round.
Our target is Angkor Borei and its surroundings, a capital of the empire of Funan.
It is situated more than 20 km east of Takeo...
Soon we entered a small canal...
We stopped first to visit a place called Phnom Da 3.5 km or so south of Angkor Borei...
