The following morning, checked out of the Royal Princess with a heavy heart, and headed for one last ruin, at Phimai. Built around the same time as Panom Rung, this was more of a community temple rather than a place for special ceremonies like Panom Rung. It's built on a flat plain so lacks the drama of a hilltop setting, but it makes up for it in the intricate carvings that cover almost all the surfaces of the temple. The carvings are of various Hindu mythological stories, with some later Buddhist imagery, and now I'm going to tell you the story behind each of the carvings...Not!
