Buriram

Mam had some business in Buriram. I went along and did some exploring.

On the way we made the usual pit stop at Café Amazon

The stones at the bottom are the remains of an 11th century Khmer prang (tower). The top is recent.

I believe that the three wooden planks are the remains of an older city pillar.

Cycling the Kham Talay Soh Loop

Tried something different on this ride. Almost all of the photos are road shots. I thought it might be interesting to see what the roads look like on this version of the loop. Turns out it wasn't very interesting.
