An easy to locate cache in the Ta Promh Wat.
Ta Promh used to be a relatively unvisited Wat (Castle) in the Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia until the Tomb Raider movie. I never used to have many tourists want to see it.
The cache is located in a small seldom visited court yard where I would relax as my tour group went through. I was told that there could be problems getting a coordinate lock due to the surrounding buildings / ruins. So you may need to examine the photos and get a general lock.
In the courtyard there is a small window like alcove. The cache is located in an indent above that. Walk up to the alcove, feel on the sill above it for a small rock, move the rock and the cache is below it. Please DO NOT climb the rocks to find the cache. You do not need to unless you are short.
You should be able to retrieve and rehide the cache without interruption, but as always, check for muggles first.
Bring your own pen / pencil
Update November 2009.
The cache is a lot worse for wear. Clearly some one did not put the lid on properly and some one else relocated the cache a bit (WHY I don't know!). I won't be back here till March or April 2010. If you have a spare fil canister, please consider replacing the existing cache container.
