ナコーンラーチャシーマー県の古代遺跡

Ancient Ruins of Thailand

This collection features Khmer-era archaeological sites in Nakhon Ratchasima, centered around the Phimai Historical Park. Built primarily during the 11th and 12th centuries, these structures represent the westernmost extent of the Ancient Khmer Highway connecting to Angkor. The list includes the Mahayana Buddhist sanctuary of Prasat Hin Phimai, surviving city gates, and Dharmasalas—ancient rest houses or fire shrines commissioned by King Jayavarman VII. These sites showcase classic Khmer architectural styles, including intricate sandstone carvings and laterite foundations.
