Phnom Penh is now a city that comes alive after dark, and its many buildings and features look different from above.

Khmer Times photographer Fabien Mouret flew his drone over some of the capital’s brightest areas this week and captured views of the city few have ever seen, even from a plane.

The popular tourist haunt the riverside and the 39-storey Vattanac Tower are shown above, while top right is Wat Phnom, the ancient temple which gave the city its name.
The city’s only legal casino, NagaWorld, is below on the far right, with its new hotel which is due to open soon nearby.
Below in the centre is Koh Pich, otherwise known as Diamond Island, with its boardwalk lit up next to the water and its entertainment area featuring rides for children in the middle.
