8 Things to See an Do in Isaan, Thailand (Updated 2025)

"Approaching the Khmer-built Phimai complex felt awe-inspiring — you walk across a naga bridge, through a crumbling wall and a field toward a center temple surrounded by mini-structures and a gigantic square wall; built mostly in the 11th and 12th centuries, it reminded me a lot of Angkor Wat but without the crowds (I saw only two other foreigners, since it’s mostly visited by Thais and school groups)." - Matthew Kepnes
