Model of Ankor Wat

Model of Ankor Wat

Ankor Wat used to be part of the territory controlled by Thailand. One of the more recent kings of Thailand really liked Ankor Wat, and wanted to reassert control. This lead to bickering and negotiations over many years. Eventually they gave up on it, and the king was satisfied with this model, on the palace grounds. You can see the Cambodian style Chedi in this model, with the multiple angles as opposed to being round.
