The sheer number of ancient sanctuaries in this area speaks of its strategic importance during the Khmer period. The local guide was very friendly and we were practically having the entire site for ourselves. A recommended visit if you are in the area.

Very nicely kept old ruins. What made the experience so interesting was a local man who acted as a tour-guide for us. He was able to Thai, Laotian, and English. Make sure you give him a tip, he is very knowledgeable and friendly.
