Cambodia
I visited this Wat two years ago and recommend going there. Although it's a highly contested site and a bit difficult to travel to, it's beautiful to see and experience. It is placed on the Thailand Cambodian border near Kantharalak, Thailand, and Choam Khan, Cambodia. When I visited I was the only foreign tourist there and I enjoyed the so called solitude immensely, I have to admit there were quite a few Cambodian soldiers around me watching where I went and what I photographed, all in all it was truly worth going there.

consists of five levels sloping off to the right.
