点评:One of my long-term "projects" is visiting Pre-Angkor & Angkor-era ruins. The Angkor Highway is interesting because it clearly demonstrates how far the Khmer Empire expanded under the rule of King Jayavarman VII.
I "found" this site by accident while searching Google Maps in preparation for a 14-day self-driving road trip that included a stretch along the Cambodian border.
The ancient temple is another fine example of King Jayavarman's accomplishments, but what I enjoyed most about my visit was the museum.
The museum is a semi-airconditioned oasis from the heat with fantastic bi-lingual displays. There is an emphasis on Thailand's part of the former Khmer Empire that I found particularly interesting.
Another wonderful thing about this site is that it is free. So, I decided to revisit the next day to spend time in the museum. Armed with my laptop and Google Maps I studied and photographed every display to try and uncover the ancient sites I have missed.
Eleven years of Angkor exploration and I am still not finished.
翻译:我的一个长期“项目”是参观前吴哥和吴哥时代的遗址。吴哥公路很有趣,因为它清楚地展示了高棉帝国在阇耶跋摩七世统治下的扩张程度。
我在谷歌地图上搜索时偶然“发现”了这个地方,当时我正准备进行为期 14 天的自驾公路旅行,其中包括沿柬埔寨边境的一段路程。
这座古老的寺庙是阇耶跋摩国王成就的另一个很好的例子,但我最喜欢这次参观的是博物馆。
博物馆是一个半空调的避暑绿洲,有精彩的双语展览。我发现其中特别有趣的是泰国前高棉帝国的一部分。
这个地方的另一个奇妙之处在于它是免费的。所以,我决定第二天再去博物馆玩一会。我带着我的笔记本电脑和谷歌地图,研究和拍摄了每一个展览,试图发现我错过的古代遗址。
我已经探索吴哥十一年了,但我仍未结束。
