Opening HoursLife is in the detail
Spend the night at a homestay in Banteay Chhmar in Cambodia. This allows you to visit the nearby temple first thing in the morning when you will very likely have the entire huge and wonderful site completely to yourself.

My travels
Travel Things I Want To Do Before I Die
- See a snow leopard in Ladakh, India
- Photograph as many of the world's most spectacular landscapes as possible!
- Visit the temples of Koya San in Japan
Best Moments
- My first view of Angkor Wat after travelling up to Siem Reap from Phnom Penh by local boat. It was 1997, with the civil war was still raging in Cambodia, and I was quite nervous about being there, so the feeling of acheivement in getting to Angkor was intense.
- Photographing Phou Phra mountain in Laos. As a tourleader in 2001 I often passed a particularly spectacular view in the north of the country, but never had the chance to capture it. Whilst lliving in Cambodia in 2014 I made 2 attempts (involving 20 hours on a Honda scooter) and finally managed to get the photograph I was after.
- In 2004 I travelled overland by public transport from Istanbul to Delhi via Turkey, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, China, Tibet, Nepal and India. Whilst in Pakistan I visited Kohat, a cantonment town north of Peshawar, where my mum was born in 1940. Visiting the town hall to look for her birth records was, if not an epic experience, certainly an unusual one.
Toughest Travel Moment
- A 36 hour bus journey across Sumbawa Island in Indonesia in 1996. It was a local bus with limited leg room and infrequent toliet breaks. Before boarding the bus I had trodden on what I though was solid ground, but actually turned out to be a thin crust covering a stagnant and smelly pool. The stench of my shoe was a constant companion for a full day and a half!
Weirdest Travel Moment
- Sleeping on the floor of an overnight train in India (I couldn't get a bed confirmed from waitlist but had to get back to Delhi to run a tour), and then being offered a sleeping berth halfway through the journey because the previous occupant had died!
