bon chem

In a recent trip to Siem Reap I had the good fortune to receive Bon Chem as my guide. Mine was a one and one-half week tour of almost all of the temples surrounding Angkor and the more distant temples of the Roluos group, Koh Ker, Beng Melea, Kbal Spean and Banteay Srey. Bon knew exactly where to go, to see the temples at their best and to see the best that each temple had built into it, dodging the crowds; Bon was fully knowledgeable of the structure and history of each of them. His selection each day of a restaurant for lunch was excellent. It was a pleasure to be in the company of Bon, a most pleasant person, a true gentleman.
