22122010 - Champasak.

Wat phu Champasak was a little disappointing as major parts of the temple had collapsed due to exposure to the elements, especially rainwater which destroys the sandstone in god speed. After all they were hundreds of years old and it is still a worthy place to visit if you’re here to explore and visualize the empire that it once was rather than to snap a picture to bring home. Restoration works are ongoing to rebuilt the south palaces and prevent them from turning from a Unesco site to a pile of crumbled stone blocks.


the crazy market and pickups i took to get to champasak
 that pile goods about 2 metres high




not exactly picture perfect but preservation
needs to be done.
