@@kaaiwan4879 thanks for watching.

@@chhuntitya4473 the plaster work in the museum might be all that they decorated the temple with. Most of the site was restored in the 70’s and techniques were not as advanced then as they are now. Even with that there might not have been any carvings since it was only used for a limited time before it was abandoned. Most of the efforts were probably put into building the walls to protect from invasion from the north from Burma.

​@@endlessjourneytravelsI just saw only the laterite stones on top of each other and almost no carvings

@@chhuntitya4473 ya there is barely any carvings here. Near the museum there are a few pieces like a Garuda and the lotus tops of the towers but very little. It is interesting for the location and the overall site being near the river but other sites are where you go to see the carvings.

@@vibolhim2066 I was reading about it a bit more after filming the temple. They speculate that it was a frontier town to protect the lower Chaophraya basin from possible invasion from Burma. The river was used for trade but also allowed invaders to come via the 3 pagoda pass area. It wasn’t used by the Khmer for very long which is why there are not many other stone temples in the site. It’s an interesting site and I found a few other places that I missed, something to see on my next visit to the area.

@@user-cx1mh2gl7o yes it has many design elements incorporated into it.

@@JamieRedknap I discussed this in the video. I show the prehistoric dig site. I also talk about when it was abandoned. I show the Dvaravati as well. Thanks for watching.

@@user-gk2oq8ix6p thanks for watching.

@@nes-nuhnguyen9196 always lots to see and eat at these night markets. I can’t eat some of the super spicy curries, the durian or the bugs but the rest is always nice. The prices are also much lower here than in Bangkok. Things are about the same as pre 2019.

@@TranceEk-f4u thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.

@@chaisakchaisak5278 it is very beautiful. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed my tour of this amazing temple.

@@kyogofurahashi it’s near the Wednesday night market that is only open on Wednesday night. This one is open everyday. I’m sure many of the vendors set up in both depending on the day.

@@felixchow5579 I was planning on riding to the border with Myanmar this trip but it’s flooding in Songklaburi now around the Mon Bridge. The Kwai Noi River is also very high and starting to flood now. No worries for the fall but I was wanting to make a few videos of that area. It’s fantastic country. If you get a chance try to take a boat trip to the temple that was flooded when they built the lake. I’ve been trying to do that for years and the flooding prevented me from doing it again. It gives me an excuse to come back again (like I need one. Lol)

@@user-cx1mh2gl7o Phimai was connected to Angkor and Lopburi by the royal road.

@@user-cx1mh2gl7o I need to go see the golden boy statue at the Bangkok national museum.

@@gotleft I really enjoyed the market as well, much better than JJ Market by the train station in my opinion. Glad you enjoyed the rocket festival. That was pure insanity and I loved it. I will try to go back next year again. Appreciate the nice comments about my channel. Always nice to hear people are enjoying my videos!

@@annakalemon7778 this beach is called sunset beach. Some maps don’t show it but it’s just south of Nang Thong beach, right before the small national park. It’s about 4.5 km south of where you will be staying. We stayed at the lead a couple years ago and really enjoyed it. It’s a short walk to the north part of Nang Thong beach from the hotel. Have a good time!

@@endlessjourneytravels thanks x

@@annakalemon7778 no problem. If you have any other questions just ask and I will do my best to answer.

@@tinakonwongpakaran3447 thanks for the information. I’m aware of the history of the builders of Angkor Wat. It was built by Khmer king Suryavarman II. At the time Phimai was a Khmer city and the inhabitants were Khmer. History is very clear about this. I have been to Phimai and many other places that were built by the Khmer in Thailand like Phanom Rung, Mueang Sing and hundreds of other places. Thanks for the information you provided but Angkor was built by the Khmer by a Khmer king and was completed in 1150 after 30 years of construction that employed up to 300,000 workers. I have been told it was Khom slaves and also a Khom king. Modern people think that the people and borders are exactly the same now as they were 1,000 years ago which is not the case.

@@palidamook1767 hello and thanks for watching. I hope you enjoyed the video.

@@bushwickbillOG I shoot everything in 60fps in 4K. Not sure what the issue is. Must be with RUclips.

@@Samai-qc2zp thanks for watching.

@@paulgwydyon2388 they are amazing. I’ve only been to their home games in Busan but hope to do a few road games next year. Every game I’ve been to I’ve been treated like family.

@@internet563 thanks for watching. Here are a few videos of the many Khmer ruins in Thailand that you mentioned.

@@user-eu6gr2jr9n thanks for watching

@@desmcleod2604 thanks for watching! I hope the weather isn’t too bad when you get here. It’s rainy season so it could be a bit wet when you get here. We were lucky and had good weather but it has rained for 2 days after we left.

@@joezip6389 glad you enjoyed it. I always like walking around places like this. Markets are fun since you get to see how the locals do things.

@@marketsqueezer wow that’s amazing. I was reading that Hua Hin is planning on doing a complete restoration to it in order to modernize it. Not sure when that will happen but one of these days it will be changed.

@@endlessjourneytravels At that time she was young and for me she still is. Anyway, we have been talking about where to move to Thailand if we want to get away from Denmark and so far Hua Hin is on the top. I like Chiang Mai too, but a very difficult choice.

@@marketsqueezer there is a large expat community in Hua Hin which is nice but prices have went up a lot as well. Cha-am, Chomphon, PKK and Surat Thani would all be nice. Not as crowded with access to the beach. If I moved out of Bangkok I would be looking at those areas.

@@GFamilyThai the local is slow but a great way to travel.

@@taaek3234 thank you for the correction on how to pronounce the name. I will probably go back next year. I’m very curious also about what they will have completed in that time. I think they will do the galleries around the center and start in that part very soon.

@@joezip6389 it’s very pleasant when it’s cloudy. It can get very hot but for an old hand like me it’s not a problem. Lol riding with the windows open is the best way to see Thailand in my opinion.

@@JorgenD-original the beach is good. Anymore I prefer to skip Hua Hin and go to PKK to the south. Ao Manow is where we like to go. There are shade trees and it’s not as crowded. During high season it does get very busy here. It is easy to get to though since it’s only about 4 hours away from Bangkok.

@@endlessjourneytravels PKK been intimidated in for years. I had a booking there some years ago go but then COVID came. Some trip will for sure go there. A short stop maybe in HH then

@@JorgenD-original I hope you will be able to make it there. The old town is very cool. In the evening everyone sits on the waterfront and has dinner. It’s a great environment.

@@richardwilson6976 I agree. It’s always fun going to Hua Hin. The market is also must see. The seafood on offer is fantastic. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video!

@@larrymanley7170 I like it as well. Did you see the new part that they added to the Hua Hin Night Market? It’s more like this one with the added food options and live music.

@@endlessjourneytravels ~ it’s been one year since I was last there, probably one more before we revisit the area. Chumpon, almost two hours south is one of my favorite beach hangout area. 😉

@@larrymanley7170 I like Ao Manow at PKK a lot. Chumphon is very nice also. We haven’t been through there in about 2 years. I need to find the time to stop by again. Never enough time or money. lol

@@breakingdawn5467 glad you enjoyed the video. This was a lot of fun to see. I plan on going to Ubon next year to see it there as well. It supposed to be an even bigger parade. Thanks for watching!

@@AmaroInnovision how many slaves did they use to build it? What happened to the slaves after it was constructed? Do you have a source on this fact? I want to read more about these Thais that built Angkor Wat with slave Khmers.
