Beautiful Phanom Rung
Ascend past an ancient pavillion to your first glimpse of this
Angkor-period Hindu shrine to Shiva, built between the 12th and 18th
centuries A.D. and located on a scenic bluff overlooking Cambodia.

Five-headed
naga snakes guard the path past lily ponds and an imposing sanctum wall
with arched entrances and cruciform corners...

Finally, you reach the 23m tall
main prang, with exquisite Khmer architecture, sacred Hindu icons, and
unforgettable carved lintels.

Meuang Tam

Just 8 kilometers away from Phanom Rung is another Angkor-period
Khmer Ruin, Meuang Tam. Its unusual, L-shaped, lily-filled ponds
give it a reputation as the most aesthetically pleasing of the
Khmer ruins in Thailand.
