前方來到帕威漢城堡（Prasat Phra Wihan）：
當時沒來得及細看。事后問谷哥：
Prasat phra Wihan (Preah Vihear) stands on the summit of Phra Wihan Hill, on the south face of the Phanom Dong Rak Range escarpment on the Thai-Cambodian border, Si Sa Ket Province. This stone sanctuary was built in the reign of King Suryavarman I around 1038 A.D.
As for the architectural style, beginning from the depression at the foot of the hill slope and moving up to the hill, one passes through a series of 4 groups of stone structures established at different levels. All buildings have gable roofs, not the spired pyramid roofs of palace structures. It would be more correct to call the ruins “monthien”.

帕納那萊佛塔（Phra That Narai Cheng Weng）：
繼續問谷哥：
Phra That Narai Cheng Weng or Phra That Narai Jengveng is located at Amphur Muang Sakon Nakhon Province, the stupa is built from sandstone on a laterite base and carved beautifully. Its lintel features Lord Krisna killing Lion in Bapuan Khmer art. The art appearing on this stupa is quite similar to many other Khmer ruins found in Isan.
帕登-南愛花園（The Garden of Pha Daeng-Nang Ai）
看上面的文字介紹原來是個傳奇故事：
“南愛，康康城（Khomkham）最美的姑娘，和帕蓬統治者帕登多次幽會。納噶王子發現了南愛的無可匹敵的美麗，卻無法獲得芳心。最后，他把自己變成一只白松鼠，試圖欺騙和綁架南愛。白松鼠失敗而被殺。。。
之后暴雨淹沒了整座城市。帕登試圖逃脫，但南愛從馬上摔下來，淹死在河中。白松鼠的靈魂成了納嘎國王，把南愛帶到他的水下王國。”

欲知后事如何，請聽下回分解。
