A talk by author John Burgess on his book "Temple in the Clouds", about the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia over a Buddhist temple on their border, Preah Vihear.

Its a privilege to have access to these kind of talks that very quickly inform you about a topic that you didn't even know existed ('didn't know that you didn't know') and in addition fill out some detail on the larger  South East Asian story. This talk was particularly romantic and poignant.

Preah Vihear -  would this have come from "Priya Vihara" ?
