PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA (PART I)
Here are pics from the top attractions of Phnom Penh. Part II has the other parts of Phnom Penh.

Cambodia's top site, the Royal Palace, was closed the day I wanted to visit. There were still photo ops as you could view the palace from the outside the compound...



There were a huge number of pigeons around the Royal Palace...



Across the street from the Royal Palace (still lots of pigeons)...



This might be the Silver Pagoda (within the compound). Note the face in the spire...



The Tonle Sap and Mekong intersect at Phnom Penh...



A bit closer view (mainly toward the Mekong)...



A bit upstream...the Tonle Sap...



Looking south along the Tonle Sap riverside (in the main tourist hotel/dining neighborhood)...
