追加: 2026-05-12

[00:00:01][music] [music] >> Hey guys, Shawn here. Welcome back to another vlog.

[00:00:16]The palace now making fun of me as I'm vlogging cuz it's what she does.

[00:00:20]Uh we are if you watch the last video you saw the trick here.

[00:00:24]So we are going to go in and explore this section.

[00:00:28]And of course as per usual I'm going to take the camera off of me. So 1 second here.

[00:00:36]Tada.

[00:00:40]There's the family.

[00:00:48]Wow.

[00:00:52]Yeah, this is all laterite coming in.

[00:00:57]Very uneven.

[00:01:00]Especially this early in the morning my brain is like I don't like it.

[00:01:04]We can walk on the edge here. I think this is sandstone.

[00:01:09]Majority of the buildings here are built with laterite mixed with sandstone.

[00:01:15]And there's different grades of sandstone, too.

[00:01:18]Uh some are a higher quality with some quartz my understanding inside.

[00:01:27]So.

[00:01:34]>> [cough] >> Okay, we're going to taking off our shoes.

[00:01:55]We're wearing some Should be fun on my toes.

[00:02:05]Oh, that's great.

[00:02:08]Shoes are off. Don't you love the uh the color tones of my skin?

[00:02:14]Okay, you see the sandal marks here.

[00:02:21]Definitely a different feeling walking here barefoot.

[00:02:30]It's a little orange.

[00:02:34]Wow.

[00:02:53]And it's a Buddha.

[00:02:58]They have these big planters full of incense that they burn.

[00:03:26]Just going to walk to Oh, it's beautiful.

[00:03:54]Please here are the older ones that I said that were They're like a whole series of them.

[00:04:04]About a dozen or so, just along a little stretch of road.

[00:04:15]These look like the the markers for the tsars.

[00:04:19]They're all around it.

[00:04:28]Okay.

[00:04:30]I'm going to stop filming and I'll bring you guys along on our next step. We're going to see a bunch of stuff today.

[00:04:36]It's time for a little breakfast.

[00:04:39]So, what is it, rice? Yes. Inside anything? Um inside?

[00:04:47]Inside. Inside?

[00:04:49]I'm afraid to say together.

[00:04:50]>> I'm laying on top of this.

[00:04:52]>> [laughter] >> It's too early for her to speak English.

[00:04:55]So, we've been translating already this morning.

[00:04:57]So, the first place that we were at was a temple and praying.

[00:05:01]Um very powerful one, apparently. She was asking me to Okay.

[00:05:07]She's going to help peel it up for me.

[00:05:10]Apparently, one hand is not easy.

[00:05:12]Aha. It should be sticky rice, if memory serves anytime I've had these things.

[00:05:17]And it's done in banana leaf, right?

[00:05:19]Banana leaf?

[00:05:20]No banana. No, no, no. Leaf banana.

[00:05:23]Yeah, yeah.

[00:05:25]So.

[00:05:27]Cheers.

[00:05:31]Wow. Okay.

[00:05:37]That all?

[00:05:40]No?

[00:05:42]Bean?

[00:05:43]Inside.

[00:05:44]Little bean bean?

[00:05:45]>> Green. Green, okay.

[00:05:46]>> Green bean. Mung bean, I think.

[00:05:49]Little bean.

[00:05:54]You like? Mhm. [snorts] Mhm.

[00:05:58]Good.

[00:05:59]Good, enjoy. Mhm.

[00:06:01]Raisin beans.

[00:06:02]Mhm.

[00:06:03]So, yeah, the um the first temple we were at historically has got a lot of reverence.

[00:06:10]She wanted to come really in the morning. Um uh you can do your prayers, make your wishes, whatever you want.

[00:06:16]Um and she said later it's just going to be packed, like there's tons and tons of people standing there, so we're the only ones here. Nobody.

[00:06:23]Probably in a few hours it'll be just jammed, so.

[00:06:27]We're going to go to this. I also got a steamed bun which I think has um pork in, so.

[00:06:32]I'm going to sit here and relax for a minute, eat, and then we'll go to our next destination.

[00:06:37]And there's this helpful entry.

[00:06:40]Wait.

[00:06:41]Yeah, we're going to walk over.

[00:06:45]So, this is the temple we were just at.

[00:06:49]And then right behind it are all these little ones that I've always wanted to explore and never come over here. We're going to do it today.

[00:07:04]Well, that thing makes a little bit of noise.

[00:07:08]All the electronics around it are keeping it going.

[00:07:11]You can hear a little hum.

[00:07:15]You see?

[00:07:16]Something like that. Woosh in the water.

[00:07:30]This is really cool.

[00:07:33]So, yeah, we had that little bite to eat. Supposed to be sitting there.

[00:07:36]I think she's got something planned. I don't know what's going on.

[00:07:39]She said she'd let me know when she was ready.

[00:07:41]So, I was like, "Okay."

[00:07:48]She also asked me if I had any outside money other than ABA. So, I had like five bucks on me, so I gave it to her.

[00:07:56]Again, don't know what's going on. So, that breakfast that we had, so I had the sticky rice with the bean inside the um had the little bun with the little pork inside.

[00:08:08]Children both had two things each and Pa had one of the sticky rice. The total for everything was 3,500 riel. So, just under a dollar for all of us to have a snack for breakfast.

[00:08:20]25 cents each.

[00:08:24]So, it would have been a dollar if she had one, I think.

[00:08:27]I think it's uh yeah, it's 500 riel each for everything we had.

[00:08:36]Which is a freaking bargain.

[00:08:39]And these are gorgeous.

[00:09:03]You ever go in?

[00:09:04]You ever explore before?

[00:09:08]Wow.

[00:09:15]Yeah, they're shoring it up inside.

[00:09:26]This is way bigger in person.

[00:09:29]You drive past it on the bike, you're like, "Oh, this looks tiny."

[00:09:32]You get out here, you realize it's like a four-story building.

[00:09:41]Yeah, this is all laterite.

[00:09:44]Same stone there.

[00:09:49]It's either just adding the whole area here.

[00:09:55]So, this is a little stretch of 1 2 and 3 4 5 6 old buildings here.

[00:10:15]Most is fun.

[00:10:21]It's pretty.

[00:10:31]Crazy steps.

[00:10:52]Yeah?

[00:10:53]Snail?

[00:10:56]You know snail?

[00:10:58]Not not I don't I don't know.

[00:11:02]I've seen Oh, a tree? Yes.

[00:11:05]Okay.

[00:11:06]Also, this would be all the time.

[00:11:11]I want to see the road.

[00:11:13]Mhm.

[00:11:14]Okay.

[00:11:24]Um this I make in hand. Yeah, I think made by hand. Yeah, I know.

[00:11:29]No machine.

[00:11:32]It's amazing.

[00:11:40]Yeah.

[00:11:51]It's a cool naga.

[00:11:54]It's naga, right?

[00:12:13]So tiny in here.

[00:12:16]Again, you don't feel it until you get in.

[00:12:22]Well, this one has definitely seen better days.

[00:12:31]>> [clears throat] >> Definitely in the jungle here.

[00:12:55]Oh, wow.

[00:12:57]The the smell of the of the grass compost.

[00:13:04]It's okay.

[00:13:10]That's uh good to make fertilizer for uh growing plant.

[00:13:18]Well, this one is definitely seen better days, for sure.

[00:13:37]>> So, that's one size.

[00:13:42]Looks like it collapsed in on itself.

[00:13:45]Probably a tree, I would suggest.

[00:13:51]Those trees look like they're growing either in it or on the side.

[00:13:55]Well, you've got roots here.

[00:13:59]So.

[00:14:04]Oh, yeah.

[00:14:05]That's a tree.

[00:14:09]That's why a tree. Oh.

[00:14:12]That's what it was.

[00:14:19]Well, then nature doesn't mess about.

[00:14:22]Yeah.

[00:14:24]Wow, so wet.

[00:14:27]Careful, ant.

[00:14:28]Oh.

[00:14:35]Okay.

[00:14:39]You want to walk down?

[00:14:40]Sure.

[00:14:44]It's beautiful, Mono.

[00:14:47]I don't know what the pile's doing, but uh I got the kids, I'm happy.

[00:14:56]Yes, so right across the way, that's the Elephant Terrace.

[00:15:02]It's massive, too.

[00:15:04]I think in total, about a half a kilometer or so, the wall.

[00:15:13]At least the third.

[00:15:16]Long stretch.

[00:15:20]Yeah, this is This is a cool place.

[00:15:26]Yeah, they do all the grass cuttings and they throw the grass cuttings back there, so you can smell the compost.

[00:15:33]Ouch.

[00:15:34]Hit the rock.

[00:15:36]Wow, that's actually a piece of the building I just tripped over.

[00:15:41]I tripped over a stump.

[00:15:43]A piece of a pole.

[00:15:47]Heavy?

[00:15:49]Not that heavy.

[00:15:56]Oh, wow.

[00:15:57]That's really heavy.

[00:16:00]For me, it's not. Enough.

[00:16:03]You're strong, you're young.

[00:16:05]>> [laughter] >> So, yeah, that's the one that was in a little bit collapsing and then they're all collapsing away.

[00:16:22]What are you doing, Nita?

[00:16:30]Beautiful spot.

[00:16:36]I wonder why it's raised here.

[00:16:43]I wonder if it was like a water feature in there at one point.

[00:16:49]Well, it looks like it could have been.

[00:16:51]It was kind of flattened, so I could imagine water being in there.

[00:17:02]I'm going to wear a ring a shirt that I bought for myself that I thought I might fit into.

[00:17:06]I was in it the other day.

[00:17:08]I keep thinking I'm thinner than I am.

[00:17:11]>> [laughter] >> Yeah, two XL work.

[00:17:21]>> I think I will end things here.

[00:17:24]This is way more interesting than I expected it to be.

[00:17:29]I can, I just saw, you know, little bits on the side as I drove by.

[00:17:35]Everything else around here, you know, the you know, the giant temples, you don't think of this as being anything.

[00:17:42]Oh my goodness.

[00:17:50]>> [laughter] >> Let me guess, light for you?

[00:17:53]Not heavy? Not heavy. heavy.

[00:17:56]Too strong.

[00:17:57]>> [laughter] >> Yeah.

[00:18:00]Anyway, yeah, this has been awesome.

[00:18:03]And again, these stretch all the way down, so they're they they start at the same area right across from Is that bull pond?

[00:18:13]Think.

[00:18:14]Bull pond.

[00:18:18]You should entertain yourself with these little things all the time.

[00:18:21]Yeah, so the the one temple, these start here and these run all the way down past there.

[00:18:27]And then when you get to the end, they go down like another six cow.

[00:18:35]Cow flop.

[00:18:36]Poop.

[00:18:37]Yeah.

[00:18:39]Very good for plant.
