Leisure & pleasure; local history.

Phanom Rung historical park is located near the town of Nang Rong, Thailand. This old Khmer temple doesn't get the loads of no Thai visitors as other sites do, but it is magnificent nevertheless. Staying in Nang Rong is a bit more challenging then staying in the nearby city of Buriram. Not a lot of guesthouses and rather difficult to find a good selection of food.

Mingun, Myanmar. The Mingun temple (or stupa) was never finished, and it got damaged by an earthquake in 1839. From Mandalay it is only a short boat ride away. There is a big white entrance to a very small room, but you can get on top of the temple for some beautiful views.

Leisure & pleasure; a dragon selfie

There is room for creativity and fun in the Buddhist way of life, enter the dragon's mouth and work your way up to the temple. This cave temple is located near Kanchanaburi (Thailand), can't remember exactly where as we stumbled upon it by accident.

From Kinpun to the "Golden Rock" this is Myanmar at his best. Travel should be fun, and a bit of a challenge. Social contact on the back of a truck, my cup of tea...
