    Unless there are more of those heads, I know where this is. I have a few photos of it myself. Of course, mine aren’t such nice close-ups…my zoom isn’t so good.

    Best city in Thailand.

  7. Stevo says:

    I think everyone that visits Ayutthaya takes this photo. The most famous bodyless Buddha in the world.

  8. Banyan trees grow like weeds around abandoned temples in SE Asia and tend to engulf everything. This particular one is a particularly photogenic accident, but we also enjoyed feeling like Indiana Jones exploring the less tourist-ed temples of Angkor Wat.
