Ancient Klmer Temples in Thailand

10/25/2015

0 Comments

 
The Khmer Empire (circa 800 to mid 1400s) was a powerful Khmer Hindu-Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia which at times ruled over most of mainland Southeast Asia and included parts of modern-day Laos, Thailand, and southern Vietnam. Proof of the Klmer Empire vastness is evidenced by the network of Temples left behind. Thailand has restored many of the Ancient Structures to ensure the history of the birth of their great country is not lost to time. Below are examples of just some of these temples.

The fact that the park is situated on top of a volcano may be missed by all except the occasional geologist vacationer; however, at 1,320 feet above sea level, no one will fail to miss the park's magnificent views.
