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 that is ...
Prasat Ta Moan Group
The Prasat Ta Moan Group is a collection of temples located on the Cambodia-Thailand border. The main temple site is Prasat Ta Moan Thom, which is claimed by both countries and is the largest temple in the group. It is situated in Ban Nong Khanna, Tambon Tamiang, right along the Thai-Cambodian border.
Prasat Ta Moan Thom was built during the 11th to 13th centuries by Udayadityavarman II and Jayavarman VII. The temple features a central square-shaped prang (tower) with a prominent projecting porch at the front, constructed from laterite and sandstone. It is oriented to the south, unusual for Khmer temples which usually face east, possibly due to the topography of the area.
Other temples in the group include Prasat Ta Muen and Prasat Ta Muen Toch, which are located on the Thai side of the border. Prasat Ta Muen Toch is one of King Jayavarman VII's arogyasalas, or hospital chapels, and it contains a central tower that opens to the east and is topped with a sandstone lotus bud.

Prasat Muang Tam ปราสาทเมืองต่ำ meaning 'lowland castle'. It is a Khmer Hindu Temple in Prakhon Chai District, Buriram Province Thailand.
It is primarily in the Khleang and Baphuon styles, which dates its primary phases of construction to the late-10th and early-11th centuries. The primary deity was Shiva, although Vishnu was also worshipped there.
Muang Tam sits at the base of Phnom Rung hill, beside a kilometer-long reservoir (baray). It was built in the tenth or eleventh century and probably abandoned in the thirteenth century.
People only returned to the area in the early twentieth century, and the name "Muang Tam" dates from that time. Muang Tam means "Lower City", and is in reference to the 'higher' city on Phnom Rung. Nobody seems to know what the Khmer originally called the temple.
The site is on the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage site recognition A great day would be to combine it with a trio to Prasat Phanom Rung and a few other sites in...
