Cambodian Villages at Angkor

Throughout the Angkor Wat Archeological Park are small villages of people that work at the monuments as well as "modern" monestaries for Buddhist monks.

I've just come back from Cambodia and one of the things I loved was the huts by the road. I'm kicking myself that I didn't capture any photos of them myself, cos I'm inspired to do a painting of them. Could I please use some of your pics as reference??
