Phnom Rung Historical Park - UNESCO World Heritage Site - Khmer Temple Buriram Thailand 2024

Phanom Rung พนมรุ้ง or also known as Prasat Hin Phanom Rung ปราสาทหินพนมรุ้ง which means Phanom Rung Stone Castle. It is a Hindu Khmer Empire Temple complex set on the rim of an extinct volcano at 402 metres (1,319 ft) elevation.

It is located in Buriram Province in the Issan region of Thailand, and was built at a time when Khmer social-political influences were significant in Srisaket.

It was built of sandstone and laterite between the 10th and 13th centuries. It was a Hindu shrine dedicated to Shiva, and symbolizes Mount Kailash, his heavenly dwelling.

The Phanom Rung sanctuary compound was constructed over several phases. These comprise two foundations of sacred brick buildings of 10th century, the minor sanctuary of 11th century, the central sanctuary built by king Suryavarman II’s relative Narentratitaya in 12th century and two Bannalais (libraries) of the 13th century. Further sacred buildings were built in the reign of King Jayavarman VII in 13th century.

Its designsted a UNESCO World Heritage site and has been restored a great deal. The complex is amazing and a great piece of human history in the region. It’s worth a special trip to the area to see this complex and visit the other sites in the area.
