Thailand (III): The Khmer temples
Heading East along the Cambodian border stand the most interesting temples of the Khmer empire within Thailand. None of these temple complexes has the grandeur of Angkor Vat in the southern neighboring country but they compensate that fact with their architectural refinement.
Visitors – mostly from Asia – come in great numbers. A curious and appropriate human frame for those stones, from a westerner perspective.

Great use of the human element to give a sense of scale and depth and… aliveneness.

Yeah… People always give that authenticity to places. Otherwise, it would be just scenery. Thanks, Alessandro.
