Government office. If it looks just like a temple, that's because it was. I'm certain the Khmer Rouge converted it to an office, and since all sacred objects inside it were destroyed, it's still used as an office. Communists did this everywhere. They blew up churches or turned them into offices, gyms, community centers or assembly halls. During the Spanish Civil War, Commies used churches as toilets. Orwell talks about this.

Yesterday, I hired a 59-year-old tuk-tuk driver, Mr. Lam. In the army from 1987 to 1992, he fought alongside Vietnamese against the Khmer Rouge. He was active in this, his home province, and near the Thai border.

Mr. Lam was in college for three years, studying history.

I asked him if his village, just east of Siem Reap, had hotels. Laughing, he said no. I then asked if he knew of anyone in his village with a room I could rent for maybe five days. He also said no.

I'm not sure if that's a plaid krama, or plaid shirt used as a krama, she's wearing over her jean baseball cap.

Kid was working. Using that beat up bicycle, he was transporting heavy loads of vegetables.
