Siem Reap -> Bangkok -> Pakse
There are few things that link these three cities (including, as it turns out, convenient modes of transportation), so for now I'll just say that it is no accident that Thai cuisine has experienced a meteoric ascendancy in America, while Cambodian and Lao food are, to put it charitably, non-entities. Also, I have determined that there is in fact a certain number of wats that one can visit, after which one can reasonably say that one has seen them all. I'm not sure what the exact number is, but after about 30 of them, one starts to wonder "wat's the difference?"

ReplyDeleteIndeed, calculating the exact number is far from simple. One might say it's a bit of an "edifice complex."
