A Real Deal Brazil Ramble in the Cambodian Temple Ruins

We received the coolest set of pictures yesterday from Real Deal Brazil recycled-tarp hat owner Phil Caldwell, a small-animal veterinarian and aspiring writer living in Los Angeles. Phil recently took a trip to Cambodia, accompanied through several of the formidable ruins of the ancient Khmer Empire by his trusty RDB hat.

"I used it while I toured the temples such as Angkor Wat near the town of Siem Reap," Phil writes. "The hat survived extreme heat, humidity and countless children asking to wear it."

For Phil's well-written, way-fun insights about his Cambodian trip, his second visit to the temple-dotted Asian country, check out his own blog post.

Now, check out these great photos he sent us!
