Front of Level 1 Temple

If you walk around the right hand side, there are red stakes and a sign by The Halo Trust warning you not to walk in the field since there are still landmines in that area.

Front of Level 4 Temple

The Level 4 Temple is near the top of the hill. Wait until you see the view from the cliff (Poei Tadi) on the other side.

Front of Level 3 Temple

When you get up the stairs, it is much bigger than it looks in this view. It has probably the largest land area of the four levels. The third level temple is the biggest and most complete Khopura.

The Level 2 Temple had holes where water collected. There were minnows in some of them. They are actually holes for posts for the marquee that used to be there.

Approach to Level 2 Temple

This is Thang Dam Noen, the first pillared causeway. It is 275 meters long. You can see our small group. Lawee and Laithong are on the left. Lucky and the photographer are on the right.

Level 3 Artillery Piece

Next to the bunker under the Level 3 Temple there was an old artillery piece. A relic of not so long ago and unhappier times. This position did command the valley back toward Thailand.

East Side of Level 3 Temple

I tried to photograph all of the left hand side of the Level 3 Temple but could not get far enough away as the hill drops off quickly. See also the next tip.
