Angkor Wat Monks

Angor Wat Monks

I’ve visited Angkor Wat twice now, and both trips provided a plethora of monk shots. It’s nice that in addition to being a major touri destination, Angkor Wat is still used by the locals as a place of worship. It’s also nice, considering my monk picture taking jones, that it attracts lots of saffron robed visitors, too. On my last trip while I was standing in a shady spot snapping away, I sensed a nearby presence. Turned out to be a chubby little monk on holiday, point and shoot camera in hand. He wanted to take my picture. I guess ‘exotic’ is all a matter of perspective!
