Uncover millennia of mystery at Thailand's "Little Angkor Wat"

Phimai Historical Park (Prasat Hin Phimai) Hides Thailand's largest Khmer-style stone palace. 🏛️ Sandstone towers and exquisite relief murals all tell the glorious epic of the ancient Khmer Dynasty. 📜 As "Thailand's Angkor Wat"~ it has both the grandeur of Angkor Wat~ and a bit more of a quiet and niche sense of mystery~ 📍✨The secret in the name✨ "Phimai" comes from the Sanskrit word "vimai" or "vimaibura," which can be found in the Khmer stone inscriptions on the door frames of the temple cloisters! Strolling through it, you can almost hear the faint sounds of Sanskrit from a thousand years ago~📿 📸Check-in guide 🔸The light is most beautiful in the morning or after 3pm~ 🔸Wearing light-colored clothes will make your photos look better! 📍Useful information Opening hours: 6:00–18:00 Tickets: Adult THB 150/Student THB 50 Transportation: Take a songthaew or charter a car from Nakhon Ratchasima, about a 1-hour drive~A world heritage-class treasure that is definitely worth adding to your Thailand travel list!
