Wat Nokor, on the outskirts of the city of Kompong Cham has always been one of my favourite Angkorean temples. It possesses a wealth of carvings, it is fused and merged into a modern pagoda and has lots of nooks and cranny's for a temple-nut like me to investigate. I will post a flood of pictures in the next few days to ensure you get a good feel for the place, which you must visit if you are passing through Kompong Cham on your way to the northeast of Cambodia. For now, here's a photo of yours truly next to one of the intricately-carved doorways that house a seated Buddha. In case you can't tell which one I am, I'm in the less colourful clothing!
