Wat Phu Champasak

#asiatrip Wat Phu (also spelled Vat Phou and various other ways of spelling) is a ruined Khmer temple complex in the south of Laos (Champasak province) and Wat Phu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001 On either side of the temple axis there are two large buildings (the so-called "palaces"), of unknown function, each enclosing a square courtyard. These were built in the 11th or early 12th century, and still very old. The ruines are very interesting, the view from the top is great and the atmosphere is special. Champasak town is close to the temples and there are several old buildings and temples in the town as well as some guesthouses and restaurants with great Mekong river views. Location: Muang Champasak, Pakse province, Laos 🇱🇦 #laos #unescoworldheritage #historicallandmarks
