White-chan in Siem Reap - The pink temple

Day 2: Angkor Wat Sunrise - Banteay Srei - Banteay Kdei - Neak Pean - Ta Som - East Mebon - Preah Khan - Phrom Bakheng Sunset

Banteay Srei is a temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, and is a distance away from the main temple area. So this also means you need to pay your tuk-tuk or car driver extra to bring you to this legendary pink temple. Banteay Srei is pink because it was built largely of red sandstone, but of course don't expect Hello Kitty pink lah! But I must say the carvings there are really good lor! Very fine and detailed! Solid sia!
