Along the Royal Roads to Angkor
Chapter Four The Royal Roads of King Jayavarman VII and its Architectural Remains 4.1 King Jayavarman VII’s Royal Roads 4.1.1 General Information Jayavarman VII’s Royal Roads was believed (by many scholars) to be built in the era of Jayavarman VII who ruled Khmer empire between AD 1812 – 1218. The road network not only cover the area of the modern-day Cambodia but also the large areas of the present Laos, Thailand and Vietnam that were under the control of the empire as well. As demonstrated by Ooi Keat Gin in Southeast Asia: A Historical Encyclopeida from Angkor Wat to East Timor Volume Two; highways were built—straight, stone-paved roads running across hundreds of kilometers, raised above the flood level, with stone bridges across rivers and lined with rest houses every 15 kilometers. Parts of some roads are still visible, even serving as the bed for modern roads. From the capital city, Angkor, there were at least two roads to the east and two to the west. One of the latter ran across the Dangrek Mountains to Phimai and another went due west toward Sisophon, which means toward the only lowland pass from Cambodia into eastern Thailand in the direction of Lopburi or Ayutthaya. Toward the east, one road has been traced almost to the Mekong, and according to an inscription in which these roads are described, it may continue as far as the capital of Champa1 1 Ooi. (2004).

Two Major Historical Sites in Buri Ram Attract Thai and Foreign Visitors (10/3/2016)
Two Major Historical Sites in Buri Ram Attract Thai and Foreign Visitors (10/3/2016) A number of Thai and foreign tourists have visited the northeastern province of Buri Ram for two beautiful Hindu sanctuaries Prasat Phanom Rung and Prasat Muang Tam. Located 412 kilometers from Bangkok by car and 376 kilometers by train, Buri Ram is listed by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) among the provinces that tourists should not miss. It borders Cambodia to the southeast and is notable for age-old civilization, especially monuments and artifacts in the Khmer style. The most famous attraction that has made a name for Buri Ram is the hilltop Hindu shrine of Phanom Rung, which is referred to as Prasat Phanom Rung. Buri Ram province is joining hands with TAT in organizing the \"Phanom Rung Festival 2016. The event, the 25th of its kind, will take place at the Phanom Rung Historical Park in Chaloem Phra Kiat district from 1 to 3 April 2016. It will feature cultural shows and a colorful light and sound presentation. Phanom Rung is recognized as the most beautiful sandstone temple in Thailand. The Khmer word \"Phanom means \"hill and the words \"Phanom Rung were derived from the ancient Khmer language, meaning \"large mountain. This Hindu sanctuary, evidence of an old civilization, is located on the top of Khao Phanom Rung, an inactive volcano. It was left unattended and in ruins for many centuries until 1935, when the Fine Arts Department registered it and declared it a national protected archeological site. A major renovation using modern techniques began in 1971 and was completed in 1988. -

A STUDY of the NAMES of MONUMENTS in ANGKOR (Cambodia)
A STUDY OF THE NAMES OF MONUMENTS IN ANGKOR (Cambodia) NHIM Sotheavin Sophia Asia Center for Research and Human Development, Sophia University Introduction This article aims at clarifying the concept of Khmer culture by specifically explaining the meanings of the names of the monuments in Angkor, names that have existed within the Khmer cultural community.1 Many works on Angkor history have been researched in different fields, such as the evolution of arts and architecture, through a systematic analysis of monuments and archaeological excavation analysis, and the most crucial are based on Cambodian epigraphy. My work however is meant to shed light on Angkor cultural history by studying the names of the monuments, and I intend to do so by searching for the original names that are found in ancient and middle period inscriptions, as well as those appearing in the oral tradition. This study also seeks to undertake a thorough verification of the condition and shape of the monuments, as well as the mode of affixation of names for them by the local inhabitants. I also wish to focus on certain crucial errors, as well as the insufficiency of earlier studies on the subject. To begin with, the books written in foreign languages often have mistakes in the vocabulary involved in the etymology of Khmer temples. Some researchers are not very familiar with the Khmer language, and besides, they might not have visited the site very often, or possibly also they did not pay too much attention to the oral tradition related to these ruins, a tradition that might be known to the village elders. -

The temple is reached by passing through three galleries, each separated by a paved walkway. The temple walls are covered with bas-relief sculptures of very high quality, representing Hindu gods and ancient Khmer scenes as well as scenes from the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. When he built a new capital nearby, Angkor Thom, he dedicated it to Buddhism. Thereafter, Angkor Wat became a Buddhist shrine, and many of its carvings and statues of Hindu deities were replaced by Buddhist art. In the early 15th century Angkor was abandoned. Still Theravada Buddhist monks maintained Angkor Wat, which remained an important pilgrimage site and continued to attract European visitors. In the 20th century various restoration programs were undertaken, but they were suspended amid the political unrest that engulfed Cambodia in the s. When work resumed in the mids, the required repairs were extensive. Notably, sections had to be dismantled and rebuilt. In the ensuing years, restoration efforts increased, and Angkor was removed from the danger list in Today Angkor Wat is one of the most important pilgrimage shrines in Southeast Asia and a popular tourist attraction.
