Prasat Khao Phra Wihan

Two friends, Mike and Terry came over to Thailand for a holiday and visited me while they were here. We went, with Mac and his wife Bee, to a Khymer temple on the border of Thailand and Cambodia. Its actually in Cambodia but one can go over just to look and no passport is needed. The price for westerners is 10 times the price for Thai people. The usual pricing for not Thai people is twice or so. This was extreme.
The temple has suffered a bit from the various border problems over the last 10 centuries, and the minefields that were there until very recently according to the signs. Three countries can be seen on the walk up. Laos is visible in the distance. The views over the Cambodian forest are great. The actual buildings, the three Temple complexes on the way to the fourth complex at the summit, are fantastic. These pictures dont do the temples justice really, but give you a clue to their magnificence.
