A trip to Phimai

I was pleasantly surprised to find that we had no school again today. I'm not sure why, and frankly I don't care, Im happy to have another day off.
I've been itching to escape the busy city of Korat and get out into the countryside. We decided to hop on the local bus and spend the day in Phimai, which is known for the Phimai historical park. The park resembles a smaller Angkor Wat and protects one of the most important Khmer temples in Thailand.
The 1.5 hour journey north on the local bus was a relaxing journey. No air con on this journey, but the window breeze was almost even better. Pictures tell today's story better than words;
