Finding Bill: Nang Rong to Buriram via a couple of Khmer temples

Tues 11/02/14, 96km

Nice though the hotel was the breakfast consisted of cereals (plus coffee, juice, etc). First time I've had cereal for breakfast in donkies years. And there's a reason for that.

First order of the day was Prasat Phanom Rung. About a 20km cycle, with the last bit up rather a steep slop. Logical considering the ruins are built on an old volcano. And very good quality Khmer ruins they are too! Built around the same time as many of the temples in Angkor they've been restored to a high quality with many of the important features labeled. Part of me would love to see the Cambodian temples given the same love and care although another side likes their wildness.

After an hour of templing it eight kilometres to my next stop Prasat Muang Tam, another lovingly restored temple. Took my time again as there was only a Buddhist monk, his friend and myself there.

Post ruins it was a tootle up to Buriram, home of the legendary Burinam United team at their Thunder Castle ground! Apparently.
