Gorgeous sunsets on the beaches of Cambodia...

Cambodia is one of those countries where both sunrises as well as sunsets are both really beautiful. I was there on a pure leisure trip with friends which meant I never quite got up in time to witness a sunrise, but, of course, saw all sunsets! Each one was special and made me make a promise to myself to come back to the country again, and soon.

On my first day itself...

My local friend walking back to his boat...

Quite unfortunately I didn't carry my tripod as I wanted to just carry cabin luggage and wasn't sure if tripod would be allowed. So my plans of long exposure shots went all kaput, and I had to wash away my sorrows with the extremely popular Angkor beer. I tried to keep the evenings a but more sober so that I could take some pictures, though others were always sloshed and happy :)

Here are some of my favorite sunset shots from Cambodia. These were taken both from the mainland as well as the island of Koh Rong Samloem, a few hours boat ride away from Sihanoukville.

However, it's not just the sunsets which are magical on these islands. What happens after sunset is epic too. Check out this story on swimming with sparkling plankton on Koh Rong’s Long Beach!
