Procession of tourists on tuktuks on what used to be a triumphal entry to the "Big City" Angkor Thom. Many of the statues on both sides have been beheaded during the war. This gateway was particularly devastated. The south gate (below) was in relatively good shape.
This brought back childhood memories of when I first saw photographs of these gateways - my parents and sister visited Angkor Wat and took pictures with these demon guards in the early sixties and I wished then I was there. This is a realization of a lifelong dream to visit Angkor Wat - half a century too late.
