Fred’n’Sue’s Peregrinations

UNESCO World Heritage location number ?? Another bucket list ticked off.
This post will be mostly photos because the commentary from Raksa, our resident expert, was so comprehensive that I can’t remember it all and would only bore you anyway.
The temple, actually a complex of temples, was constructed in the reign of King Suryavarman II (1113 – 1150) as a Hindu temple and abandoned in the 15th Century – never fully apparently – after conversion to a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century, it remained a place of pilgrimage for people of that faith.

Guess who does all the maintenance?

Some locals . . .

That is all for now folks – sweated gallons on 6km walk up and down and around. The aircon bus is always welcome
