Perched high atop an extinct volcano, the biggest and best Khmer ruin in Thailand is
special. As you amble along the promenade, up the stairs and over the
naga
-flanked
bridges, the sense of anticipation builds. And when you enter the temple, completely re-
stored and still rich with Hindu sculpture, you will experience a moment of timelessness.
While Phanom Rung is not as awe-inspiring as Cambodia's Angkor Wat, the experience
here is impressive and different enough that you should visit both.
