Surin Dinosaur
Yes I've been looking into Banteay Chhmar. It is currently under restoration using the anastylosis method. The chap in charge is an Englishman called John Sanday, he has a team of local folks helping him. All accommodation in the area is currently of the 'homestay' type but they are looking to develop the temple as a tourist attraction in the future. I can't wait to get there, it's absolutely huge.
I believe we met once in Startbeam restaurant, you were with my old colleague Chris Luppi. Chris tells me another birder is joining us here in Surin shortly. A keen photographer with all the gear I'm told. Do you still keep in touch with Chris? Toby.
Yes, I'm still in touch with him. I remember meeting you, just hadn't put you and that Toby together! The new birder is arriving early December, I think.
