Comment: The facade seems ever so slightly tilted clockwise to me; not sure whether it's just an illusion of the architecture. The front columns are perpendicular all right, but the visible inner one does appear to be leaning outward. So the building isn't perfectly straight, but is it that the inside column is leaning outwards, or that the facade actually leans inwards? --Paul_012 (talk) 20:23, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The building is vertical in my opinion, but maybe this discussion can answer your question -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:21, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support. A good clear image of this temple mostly clear of tourist/visitor distractions. A smidge unsharp at full res, but good enough given its size. Personally I see little EV in the second article Isan language, but being lead image in its main article is sufficient. --jjron (talk) 09:53, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
