Here are some photos from a temple we visited last weekend called Wat Umong (also known as the 'tunnel temple'). It was built during the 14th century and was later abandoned until the 1940's. As we were trying to find the temple on our motorbike, we took a couple wrong turns, somehow ended up in a strange empty parking lot in the woods, and then got chased by three really mean dogs! It was pretty scary - I was about one step away from trying to kick dogs away from our motorbike as they tried biting us... Luckily it didn't get to that point, and they just wanted us out of their territory.
In any case, the temple was incredible. The best way to describe it is like being inside The Legend of Zelda!
