Phimai
Northeast Thai culture finds dazzling reflection in Phimai, especially at Phimai Sanctuary. The place is Thailand’s largest stone sanctuary and has the famous Khmer shrine dating back to the Angkor era. Phimai’s rich cultural milieu is amazing to say the least. One can also see an excellent depiction of the Ramayana, a legendary Hindu epic. The spellbinding dancing form of God Shiva has been charismatically depicted as well.
