 | Phanom Rung historical park I made a quick trip to Phanom Rung historical park in Buriram some time ago. Phanom Rung is at the top of a volcanic cone and it means in Khmer: 'big hill'. It was build between the 10th and 13th century to symbolise the stay of Shiva on the holy mountain Kailash. The temple complex faces east, towards the original capital of Angkor.  Royal Pavillion  Along the way to the Main Tower.  Five-headed snake.  Lotus being guarded by the authority. The sign tells people no to toss a coin in it cos it will damage the lotus.  Vishnu Anantasayin  Brick sanctuary. Only a base and two pillars remained.  Wall  Main Tower  Minor Tower  Looking from the back  Don't know the exact location as my mate was driving me there.  There is also a parking space on top of the phanom rung, so if you don't want to walk up, you can also drive up to the top. No worries about getting thirsty, as they got a little shop on the top where you can get some refreshment.
