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.

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.

This mall is so huge and have inside waterfall and pond with so many fishes inside in the pond. The mall have amaizng dine in shops with jewelry shops too. I love its food court because its huge with so many different varieties of food to choose. Their parking lot os the biggest parking area i ever seen in any malls. Their is small amusement park inside this mall too and on weekends they organize some dj nights or live concerts. Overall it was really worth going in this mall. You really need 2-3 hours even then you won't get tired of this. It's really very beautiful mall
