Phanom Rung

This beautiful Khmer ruin is the largest example of Khmer Architecture in Thailand. Located on top of a dormant volcano, Phanom Rung has been regarded as site of holy Significance since the seventh century. It was built by Suryavarman II in the early twelfth century and was dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva. There are many well preserved Lintels showing examples of Shiva.

Phanom Rung is some 55 Km from the Leelawadee Gardens Prasat Surin, and is situated in the neighboring province of Buri Ram. There is a museum, and many gift shops located before the entrance. Two tier pricing exists, although it is not as drastic as others. It is 100B for foreigners and 20B for Thai’s. Thai massage is available and there are also a number of restaurants.
