Phimai Historical Park

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

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.

Jim Thompson Farm

Reviewed By kelccm - Singapore, Singapore

A must visit place if you are in the region in December. This is a large farm, with plenty of beautiful scenery for your Instagram or Facebook. Plan for 1 full day here as there are so much to see and take photos. We came slightly before lunch and didn't have enough time to fully explore this place. Plenty of local food choices are available at the entrance if you are hungry. There are also plenty of regular free shuttle buses that will take you to various stations or you can try to walk from area to area. This is definitely a fun place to visit for everyone.

About two hours north of Khon Kaen, you'll find one of Thailand's hidden gems in the middle of nowhere (although Ratchasima is not far). Have have been to temples all over the country to include the Blue and White Temples, Temple of Truth, Silver temples of Chang Mai. I have to say, this was worth the trip. It reminds me of the Blue Temple as far as art and design. I loved it! There is so much going on in the murals and sculptures that adorn the outside of the temple; there are Hindu, Buddhist, and possibly more references. The basement looks like you could have a rave party, while the rest is like a museum on the floors above. The giant Naga statues at front are amazing! I've wanted to go here for years, and am glad I finally made the trip.

Thep Phithak Punnaram

Reviewed By JohannL256 - Penang Island, Malaysia

A quiet peaceful temple for local prayers; The main temple is at the top of the mountain and needs more than 600 steps of climbing to reach the top of the main mountain temple. The lower ground temple is full with peacock's bird; The birds are not in the center of temple. Its roaming all over the temple vicinity and nearby. There's also a lot of different kinds of chicken species roaming all over the places. You can take photos quite close to the peacocks & very surreal. Therefore, you need to walk around the temple vicinity to find them in high and low resting places all over. The temple will close around 5.30PM;
