Prasat Sra Kamphaeng Yai |
| Si
Sa Ket is a quiet province on the Cambodian border with
Khmer ruins scattered throughout the province. Most notable
are the two ruined sanctuaries of Wat Sa Kamphaeng Yai
and Noi, dating back to the 10th century. |

| However,
the most famous Khmer site is actually in Cambodia. Khao
Phra Wihan was built over 10 centuries ago and is one
of the most spectacular Angkor-period sites. Built as
a Hindu temple, it begins in Thailand and rises to 600
metres with the main sanctuary in Cambodia. After a long
period of war, its wonderful craftsmanship, stairways
and courts are now being restored. The walk to the summit
is long and steep, but visitors are sure to be impressed
by the size and complexity of its design. |
