Temple Elephants, Angkor Thom South Gate, Cambodia
Elephants cruise the paths of Angkor at the behest of mahouts in search of passengers wanting a Disneyland way to see Angkor. For most visitors, however, getting around means lots of exploring on foot, with tuk-tuks taking you there and from site to site. Most elephants seemed in need of much wanted passengers, though, since the tuk-tuks excel for bigger range of travel while adding sun and rain protection to that natural open air feeling. But the ruins should make a great backdrop for shorter, bumpy elephant rides if you're tired of walking or looking for that elephant ride thrill. In this approach to the South Gate, the most used entrance to Angkor Thom, the roadway has parallel sets of 54 statuary 'divas" (kind gods) on the left side of the road, and 54 'asuras' (demons) on the right.
