Dear All,

My 18 days, Thailand and Cambodia trip in last Nov. was really memorable. We had mixed the popular destinations with our selected places.  Popular destinations were, well really very touristy and the experience was uninspiring  and some times really waste of time and money. One of the destination chosen by us was the famous Angkor Wat temples. 

I had much read about the temple and its unique architecture, but when I saw the scale of the layout I was really surprised. We spent two whole days in actually going round the temple sites and still we could manage to see just part of the world heritage site. It was challenge for me to prepare a documentary using those haphazardly shot video clips some times jostling with other visitors and trying to avoid persons crossing my field of view. I did many other short documentaries on other sites but Angkor Wat remained a challenge. Now that I have completed it I will like to share it with you. 

In Cambodia we visited the memorial to the victims of the genocide perpetrated   by the brutal Pot Pot regime. It is a chilling experience. It is a reminder of what human being are capable of doing to fellow humans in pursuit of personal ambitions, distorted logic and complex and intriguing politics to achieve some unrealistic goals. 

Here are links to the two videos.

2) Killing Fields              https://youtu.be/-4rb2gJi0os
