The unrestored Hindu temple of Chau Srei Vibol dates from the reign of Suryavarman I (reign 1006 - 1050). The monumental temple, including moat, measured 1 x 1.5 kilometres.
Established in 1786, the Old Pretestant Cemetery (also known as Northam Road Cemetery), is a disused Christian cemetery in George Town, Penang, Malaysia.<br/><br/> The cemetery is of significant historic interest: it is older than many better-known burial grounds such as Père Lachaise in Paris, Powązki in Warsaw, the Zentralfriedhof in Vienna, and Highgate Cemetery in London. It is also 35 years older than the Old Protestant Cemetery in Macau. In 2012, conservation works were undertaken to protect and preserve the site, although there was some concern about how the restoration was done.
Plumeria (common name Frangipani) is a genus of flowering plants in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae. It contains seven or eight species of mainly deciduous shrubs and small trees. They are native to Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America as far south as Brazil, but have been spread throughout the world's tropics. The name Leelawadee (originating from Thai) is found occasionally.

Prachuap Khiri Khan means ‘town among the mountain chain’. Although little more than a fishing port, the town – which, depending on who you speak to, is either the last provincial capital in Central Thailand, or the first provincial capital in the south – has a distinct charm to it, and is well off the beaten tourist track. That is, tourists pass through all the time, but they rarely stop.<br/><br/> In historical terms, Prachuap is significant as one of the seven landing points where Imperial Japanese troops stormed ashore in 1941, on their way south to occupy Malaya and Singapore. Today, however, the town is a pleasant, laid-back fishing port with colorfully-painted fishing vessels at anchor in the harbor and an attractive waterfront walking street with some very good and reasonably priced restaurants. These aside, there is no nightlife worth speaking of. The town is ringed on the land side with rugged limestone mountains, one of which – Khao Chong Krajok, or ‘mirror tunnel mountain’ – is pierced with a natural opening that appears not unlike a giant mirror, and which is perhaps the town’s most famous natural landmark.<br/><br/> Perched atop Khao Chong Krajok, high above the town, and at the top of a long flight of stone stairs, a revered temple called Wat Thammikaram serves as Prachuap’s most revered site, and offers – besides spiritual enlightenment – fine views across the town and the bay.

The Palace of Rama V, known locally as Phra Chutathut Ratchasathan was built in the 19th century. King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) used the palace as a summertime retreat from Bangkok's stiffling heat.<br/><br/> The original palace, the Vimanmek Palace, stood here until it was moved in 1901, piece by piece, to Dusit Park in Bangkok. The golden teak palace was designed by King Chulalongkorn.
