Terrace of the Elephants

From Phimeanakas, we strolled over to the beautiful and extraodinarly enormous Terrace of the Elephants. The terrace is a good 300 metres wide and about 25 deep. One can only imagine what kinds of buildings and ceremonies once adorned this site. The terrace overlooks the centre of the Royal square, suggesting that kings could watch large processions and celebrations from there. It has hundreds of elephants carved into it's sides, along with scenes of elephant processions.
