This post consists of mostly pictures from some ancient Khmer ruins that I was able to visit while I was in Thailand. The first bunch is a place called Phanom Rung. It was such an awesome experience, and completely different from the ruins in Greece...There are a lot of pictures, so be warned...
On these stairs is where I was asked by a Thai lady to take her picture. She came up to me and pointed to her camera and said picture, and then pointed at her daughter. Naturally, I thought she wanted me to take a picture of her with her daughter. Nope, she wanted her picture with me...a white person. Awesome. So there is a random picture of me floating around Thailand somewhere in someone's vacation pictures...
The view from the top was so beautiful!
Ignore the unflattering picture of me...It was like noon, and we all know that noon light creates very unflattering shadows...
I loved all the cool carvings and stonework on these ruins. It reminded me of when I was younger and pretended to live in the Indian Jungle after watching the live action version of the Jungle Book. I wish I could find that on DVD.
The Thai people take really good care of their ruins...a lot more than the Greek's do! That's for sure...
Elephants!!! My favorite part of Thailand. Elephants everywhere!!
The Cardeiro Family!! Friends since 1995! And the best hosts ever!
Mem and I! She is really an awesome friend, even if she is the size of half of me...
These were some more ruins down the road. Not as spectacular, but still pretty cool...
I love the monks in their orange robes. It was cool to see them everywhere. I don't know why, but I just liked it a lot.
Noc and Mem, with Noc doing the traditional peace sign, hahahahaha
It was a really awesome day. I had so much fun, and we had some awesome food on the way home. We ate at this shack on the side of the road. Looked iffy, but was actually kind of amazing. I miss the food, I can't lie.

Love these shots of the ruins. I wish I were 25 years younger and could go running around on them. My imagination would totally be in Indiana Jones mode. But I doubt they let kids do that sort of thing.
On a photography note, I think a few of these could make some excellent stock photography.
