The Northeast is a sanctuary for ancient Khmer culture, with Phanom Rung Historical Park being the most outstanding example of this because of its structures and arts that share many similarities with Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
The sanctuary was built between the 10th and 13th centuries to honour Shiva, one of the supreme deities in Hinduism.  Taking advantage of the location, it is perched on a dormant volcano, Phanom Rung is the place where you can experience solar events through all 15 gates of the sanctuary.
Other unique factors lies within its white sandstone structure, statues and sculptures that reflects Khmer art. A must-see is the Narai Bantomsin lintel, Vishnu-Reclining Lintel.

The park opens daily from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
