The King and I

Here we are at the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh... biked it here, which triggered a lot of biking around the city...







This is the entrance walkway and throne hall



Here's the back of Chan Chhaya Pavillion





Now when i walked out of the thrown room all these people were gathering around... and i was like... "what are we lookin at??"... then out of no where... its the King... H'es the little guy in white w/his hands in the air... that more or less rocked my socks.





Another view of the thrown room and pavillion





This here is the royal dining hall donated by Napoleaon III , and a gate



Stupas





Wall paintings





Silver Pagoda and statue of King Norodom





More stupa spires



A monk sitting and thinking, along with a buddha



Some arts and crafts





Outside the palace... the main square





Classic music inside the palace
