Wat Phu Man Fa is a massive temple being built in Buriram Thailand. This temple has caused some controversy due to its resemblance to Angkor Wat.
Construction started several years ago on a piece of land covering 200 Rai (roughly 100 acres). It features several stone buildings built in the Khmer style. Its resemblance to Angkor Wat has caused a great deal of controversy and the #SaveAngkorWat hastag.
The head Abbot that is the vision behind the project said the styling came to him in a dream. He believes that he was a soldier that was part of the construction of the original Angkor Wat and now is continuing now after entering the monk hood.
The controversy drew the attention of Cambodian officials that were invited to inspect the site. It’s been agreed that it has design elements of many different sites like Phimai and others and is not a direct copy of the UNESCO World Heritage site.
The temple construction continues and is really amazing to see. It’s being built on a scale ...

Wat Ratchabophit or more formally Wat Ratchabophit Sathit Maha Simaram Ratcha Wara Maha Wihan is a Buddhist temple located on Atsadang Road, Bangkok, along Khlong Lot, not far from Wat Pho and the Grand Palace in the heart of Bangkok.

Wat Chao Ya (วัดเจ้าย่า)
Wat Chao Ya or Grandmother's Monastery is located off the city island in the northern
area of Ayutthaya in the Khlong Sra Bua sub-district.
The monastery ground was split into two parts by a modern road. Archaeological evidence indicates that Wat Chao Ya dates from the Early Ayutthaya period (1351 - 1491). The Khmer style was the prominent style during this time and was used within the temple compound. There are also structures in situ from the Middle (1491 - 1629) to the Late Ayutthaya periods (1629 - 1767).
In the Ayutthaya era the temple would’ve been accessed by a canal that runs along the west side. Now the temple is in ruin but during the Kingdom of Ayutthaya this would’ve been a thriving temple, as indicated by the size of the temple grounds.
