Traveling south from Phnom Penh we arrived at the Takeo Province, stopping at Tonle Bati, a recreational area where Khmer people prefer to spend time there. Tonle Bati temple is an Angkorian temple whose remains are largely intact with a beautiful surrounding environment. Takeo is truly a small town that perfectly reflects Cambodian in every sense. We then ride a boat from Takeo on a river to the archaeological museum of Angkor Borei, and the temple ruins of Phnom Da. The next destination is Phnom Chisor, where we can climb up the summit and explore the preserved ruins of a 10th-century Angkorian temple, and enjoy the phenomenal views of the typical Cambodian countryside. Then we move to Kep, Cambodia’s prestigious beach resort of the 1960s, which is in their prime time. From Kep, we board a boat to scenic Koh Tonsai (aka Rabbit Island) to explore the island and relax on the tropical beach.
