The Thais got all in a snit when they lost it and built some silly mock new temple on the top on their side. Perhaps that's what you're talking about.

Sure was a hellva couple of months during the squabble -
Huey class originating from Ubon and Korat overhead, to and fro, everyday.
The Khmer even managed to send a few sorties at Kap Choeng and Prasat, only a couple of clicks from us.

Naturally, the Thais initiated the whole mess - yet denial still exist within the institutions.

I hope the numbers continue to dwindle.

Maybe I'll have the place to myself and the small tour group I'm booked with later this month.

Whose blog did you nick that off Jeff?

Well, it was nice in the morning but by noon it was like fcking Disneyland out there. Enjoyed the tour anyway, highly recommend it.
