Day 4, docking in Phnom Penh.

Will not return.

Golden, shiny, green plants and a few flowers, under the blue skies. Many building look like circus, fake. Reportedly, the king, who’s single, actually lives there.

… on our way to the Palace

It was built by King Norodom (1834-1904, Sihanouk’s ggrandfather), in 1866 at the western bank of the convergence of the Tonle Sap River and the Mekong River.

The main hall cannot photographed.

One of the rooms that houses the outfits and some exhibits look like community center.

 

On our way out, they offer the visitor a small bottle of water, which is nice.
