I'm late. In Vietnamese they called it "than tổ ong"; honeycombed coal bricks.

fwiw
the Chos are behind the Barbies & Models ..they haven't started the detour yet . You can see another set of untouched coals too . But other teams could have done the alternate detour whatever it is ?

^^ I forgot about the shadows. I'm sure Chateau can estimate who's first, the Chos or the Barbies?  :tup:

I can't see any shadows for the Barbies.  It looks like cloudy skies too. 

Without orientation of the location I can't do anything meaningful with the Chos either.

Thanks Puddin, there is some shadow.  Pretty dang near straight up so: 11 to 1 again.  The Cho's is farther off from straight up but it could be earlier, could be later.   :gaah:

Detour translation:
Fowl: Travel on foot to Nhà Thờ. It means travel to the church.  (:;) So if you know Vietnamese, then it's easy to ask.

soooo is this the same ? center image from CBS.com ..just wondering why they are showing us this ?
Thich Ca Phat Dai (in Vung Tau )
 

Thich Ca Phat Dai Pagoda is one of the largest pagodas in . This pagoda is situated about 3 km from the center of the city. The site of the pagoda occupies an area of 6 ha on the side of Big Mountain. The beauty of the 19 meter high pagoda lies in the harmonious combination between the natural surroundings and the architectural structure. This pagoda exists exclusively for religious worship. The pagoda is unique in its white cement construction of the giant statue of Thich Ca Buddha sitting on a large lotus blossom.

I think Slowhatch found the correct Buddha.

Fwiw, the sticker on the Barbie jeep reads Khongor Expeditions. I found a possible link through a Taiwanese backpacker site, of all things.  ;D
