The reason we came to Nang Rung was to see Phanom Rung temple, this complex is the largest and best restored of all Khmer monuments in Thailand, and as our travel guide book defines it "it has a knock me dead location", which you can see Cambodia's land from there.
Phanom Rung:
Phanom Rung is a Khmer temple complex set on the rim of an extinct volcano at about 430 meters above sea level. It was built in sandstone and late rite in the 10th to 13th centuries. It was a Hindu shrine dedicated to Shiva.
There are another more temples in the area, such as Meuang Tam which has also been built by the Khmer people.
It is a funny story how we met Ning and Poom - 2 local young nurses from the area, they were helping us to lift our motorcycle on a truck after we got a flat tyre.
We were lucky to find someone who brought us with our motorcycle to a near by garage to fix the tyre.
We spent 2 nights in a row with those 2 girls while having dinner (one in a restaurant the second at their home), trying to communicate with our Thai and their lack of English ...
Have fun,
Efrat and Yoni.
