 Prasat Hin Phimai.

60 odd km North of Korat is the old Khamer city of Phimai.

One of the oldest khamer citys in Thailand.
Phimai is a small town,but for sightseers it has a few things to offer.
There is the Museum which is not bad i have to say and has stuff from around Issan and Angkor(the capital of the Khamer reichs)

There are a few good,but basic hotels in the town and most can be got for around 500bht a night.Myself dont bother as i have a car with me and nightlife is not great,realy everyone goes to bed at 8pm

Prasat is built in the same style as angkor but on a far smaller scale.



But it still amazes me how they ever built such places.
There is an entrance fee of 40bht(i think)
But you can buy a combi ticket for 100bht that alows you to visit Prasat and other places around Korat.This can only be got at the Museum as far as i know.



It realy is a good day out if your willing to travel about,we done it on a trip to Korat,which i think is the best way to do it.






Sai trying to look cool.

Do they allow you to go into the buildings at all? I was wondering since I don't see any guards around there.
 
Sai looks good. :)
