If you've seen all the videos that we've posted so far, you have a little bit of an idea of what this Wat Phou is like. Wat or Vat means temple. This site is an ancient Khmer Hindu temple complex. The Khmer people are from what we know to be Cambodia today. Their empire stretched far, into present day central Thailand and obviously, into Laos where this site is located.
The center of the Angkor civilation was located in present day cambodia. I visited this site, called Angkor Wat Complex, when I was here previously. The Angkor temple complex is massive and very interesting. This site that we visited is a small taste of that civilization and time period.
Maybe it's a good lesson that all empires come to an end.
Also, I posted some HDR photos from this temple a with the earlier batch of images from Laos, make sure to check them out again.

Jon!! I just spent a while watching all the videos and looking at the photos. They all turned out super good. I commented on this one, because it might just be the best looking. love the black and white. the temple pics turned out so good, especially the close ups of the incense. So fun to see all the things you talked about, teaching coffee, the boat races, motor bikes. Such a great way to capture your trip. ;)
