Siam Reap Street Photography

I'm going to categories the blog post on Siam Reap based on what we did. It is because we went for street shooting for 2-3 days, and Angkor Wat for 3 days too. Compiling all the photos in one single post for one location.

Let's start with street photography in Siam Reap. We went out almost every morning, walk around the city, catching some golden lights of sunrise and some morning activities. It was an interesting experience, and a good chance to practice some street photography. We went to the biggest local market, or some called it central market of Siam Reap. To get there, you need to get a ride on Tut-tut, it cost about USD2 if i'm not mistaken, from Pub Street to Central Market. The weather is kinda crazy hot, so we actually cut short our trip. Anyway, here's what i saw that day..

Lots of baguette greet us at the main entrance of the market

If anyone fancy pickles, you have varieties here! Loads of them..

You can find various clothing materials, linens, silks here.. i bet it's cheap, but i never really ask

Salty fish anyone? or just looking for groceries? They have it all here..

 

This is the back of the market, some sort like a wet market where vegetables, fruits, meat and fishes are sold.

Besides all this, you can buy silver, gold, kitchenware, almost any stuffs you normally see in the supermarket. Even wide range of whiskey! Real or fake, it's for you to find out :) So after the short tour, we went back to the street for another round of shooting.

Bicycles comes in various size, types and even colors! Like these!

  

Saw this young boy sneaking in the door and i was watching outside. It turns out there's puppies in there. Cute cute puppies.. here's one playing with the boy

And this little girl is happily playing on the roadside, playing dirts... pity her but that's what most Cambodian kids grew up. Just like me actually.. growing in a kampung (village)

This is something disgusting.. partially developed embryo of a duck, still in the egg are eaten as delicacy here in Cambodia.. ewwwww

As we heading back during sunset, we walk pass a wedding ceremony and decided to stop by for a snap shot.

  

The streets of Siam Reap is interesting, isnt it? Dont be afraid to wander further out of the city.. you'll get to see more things, especially the lifestyle of most Cambodian. Siam Reap city centre is full of tourist, it's all to modernized. 

To be continue tomorrow with more of the street scenes of Siam Reap!
