At Ta'Pram. Angkor Wat, Cambodia 1995

It was surprisingly cool inside the ruins of Ta'Prom. From time to time a government Army patrol would show up, strut through in their American camo and web gear. They packed M-16s. The RTO had a PRC 25 or 77. The show of force was a way to calm the nerves of traveler's worried about bandits. But the irregular troops did the the real work.
