This was our last day in Siem Reap and Cambodia. We spent the morning visiting a floating village on the lake Tonle Sap and souvenier shopping at Artisans d'Angkor, an authentic Cambodian workshop for woodwork, silver plating and miniature painting.

We then flew out to Bangkok, which was a short 1 hour jaunt from Siem Reap. Initial impressions of Bangkok (outside of being just as warm as Siem Reap) - great international airport, traffic much more organized than Vietnam and Cambodia, and an interesting play between the traditional (city ~200-250 years old) and modern.
