A typical house on the banks of the river on the way from Battambang to Siem Reap. GDP in Cambodia is only around $1,000 per annum but I expect it's rather less for many rural families - it looks idyllic but obviously there's no running water or electricity around here and it's often very difficult to access healthcare due to poor state services and corruption.

Built in the 10th century on the top of a hill, the temple is reachable by climbing a long flight of steps. Like in many of the temples in Angkor, there’s a coexistence of Hindu and Buddhist elements and it reminds, in a much smaller scale, the majestic Angkor Wat. The most scenic part, in my opinion, is the stairs. The 370 steps are framed by lushy trees that offer shade during your hike and it steep verticality, drag your eyes to the top temple.

If you continue up the hill from the Killing Caves, you will find the temple that has been built in recent years thanks to donation from Khmer people. 
The temple is nice and colorful with some monkeys hanging around, but the best part is the view: you can see the green countryside surrounded by the mountain at the horizont. http://nomadswind.com/cambodia-travel-diary-2-battambang-2/
