Phimai Historical Park

This 12th-century temple is similar in structure to Angkor Wat.

Reviewed By jelinicivana - London, United Kingdom

Not as big as Ayutthaya or Sukhotai, but well worth a visit. The temple is just stunning! Phimai was an outpost of the Khmer empire and that is why the temple was built in Khmer architecture. Also, I learned there that Angkor Wat was inspired by this temple in Phimai! How very cool! Recommend visiting at any time, especially in the late afternoon as there are fewer tourists. Also, worth stopping and having a walk around Phimai, it is rather cute itself.

Reviewed By dereka66 - Bang Sao Thong, Thailand

The famous heroine who defeated an invasion army from Laos 200 years ago and saved Thailand from defeat. The monument situated just 1km south of route 2 in the middle of the large city is a must see. This famous ladies statue and the small park is well kept and very interesting for a short visit.
