Prasat Muang Sing is a Khmer outpost of Angkor Wat. Remember Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie? It was filmed at Angkor Wat and this was an outpost dating back to the 11th and 12th century when the Khmer ruled most of southeast asia. One of the things that I liked about this place was that it wasn’t crawling with tourits. It was really hard to take a picture of the bridge over River Kwai without a dozen or so tourists on it. This has a few passing but overall easy to photograph without tons of people in the picture.
There was one moment that I had to laugh. There was a girl in a group of girls who was holding her phone with what is called a selfie stick. Years ago when I worked at CLS installing systems into hotels, there was a girl I worked with named Sher. She would hold up the camera and say “Kodak Moment – Self Pix” – she was the originator of the selfie decades ago. The selfie is not new but the selfie stick is. What I laugh about is that there is NO shame! Sher held a camera up and hoped both are faces were in it, the selfie stick? That is the epitome of narcissism.
