Phanom Rung

This Hindu shrine complex sits atop an extinct volcano in north-eastern Thailand and was built to represent Mount Kailash, the sacred home of Shiva. It's one of the most impressive examples of Khmer architecture in Thailand and over a thousand years old. In April, when the sun is aligned just so that it shines through all 15 of the sanctuary's doors, the park hosts a festival and visitors can camp there.
