A New Find

We thought we had seen everything type of temple complex possible until today. We were taken to Wat Phu, a relatively unknown historic site, not really knowing where we were going.

Angkor Wat in Cambodia is believed to have originated here and moved by the King to its present location. 

UNESCO is working on restoring parts of Wat Phu, but there is a massive amount of work to do. If the restoration continues many rice farmers will have to be displaced. They are farming right above an ancient temple site.

It was a peaceful and beautiful area, with different terraces containing different structures....many of which are original to the site.

One of my favourites.

I must have been contemplating the many stairs that were ahead of me.
