Khmer temples

Following on from the other Phnom Penh thread here are some more pics i've taken of khmer temples in thailand and cambodia


phnom rung in issan. pretty small and loads of people on this particular day. it's been kept in surprisingly good shape by the thais though.


this is the view up the main walkway

next is prasat preah vihear just across from the thai border. it's an amazing temple built up on the edge of a cliff overlooking the cambodian plains. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prasat_Preah_Vihear


this is the base of the first flight of stairs going up to the cliff top temple.
