User-controlled panorama, midway, down chaotic Khao San Road, the de-facto headquarters of Thai tourism.

Love it or hate it, nearly every tourist in Bangkok comes through the traveler ghetto of Khao San Road. Many mid-range accommodations have nudged out some of the cheap budget haunts that I remember from my first time around. But never fear, the more thrifty accommodations are just around the periphery of Khao San Road itself. Around the corner, my trusty old guest house surprisingly remains only 160 baht/night (~US$5.30).

Prostrator Part II Photo: Continued from yesterday's image, part II shows the same devout man, fully prostrated. After this, he stands, takes 3 steps forward, then prostrates himself again. The circuit around the Jokhang Temple is about a half mile, if not more so this man must repeatedly do this for three full loops around the temple.

Rooted Photo: The Preah Sambir temple is enshrouded by tree roots at the Sambor Prei Kuk temple complex, halfway between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. This seldom touristed temple complex pre-dates its more famous cousin, the Angkor Wat temple complex. Many of its designs were later incorporated into some of the temples at Angkor Wat.
