Prasat Hin Phanom Wan
This collection
of ruins, which dates back to the 11th century, is smaller and
in more of a state of disrepair than those at Prasat Hin Phimai,
however, is nonetheless well-worthy of a visit. The main shrine,
which is surrounded by a dried up moat, contains several ancient
Buddha images, as well as other artifacts that tend to suggest
that Phanom Wan was originally a Hindu temple. Restoration of
this site is ongoing.
Prasat
Hin Phanom Wan can be reached from Nakorn Ratchasima by bus.
Get on the No.1305 bus from Nakorn Ratchasima to Phimai- and
get off at Ban Saen Muang. This should only cost about 5 baht.
Once at Ban Saen Muang, take a songthaew to the park. Buses
directly to Phanom Wan are also available three times a day
from Phosaen Gate in Nakorn Ratchasima.
