Golden memories


Khmer temple at Phimai near Korat [Khorat] is the largest sandstone structure in Thailand and is thought to predate Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia [image: luxury-thailand-travel]

"The word Phimai meaning a religious figure or site, appears in an inscription on a stone slab at the front doorway of the main building and other structures too. These structures are made of sandstone and laterite and are all ornately carved with intricate designs. The principal sanctuary is a tower or Prasat surrounded by four porches with an ante-chamber leading into each porch. Garuda mystical creatures can be seen supported on the terraces of the pyramidal roof while some multi-headed Naga serpent figures stand guard at these religious sites."-[luxury-thailand-travel]
