"Prasat Muang Tam" is another place you shouldn't miss when visiting Buriram. It is only 8 km from Prasat Phanom Rung. It is an old castle that is still beautiful and charming. You can walk around and visit every part of the castle. The castle grounds have 4 L-shaped ponds with Nagas surrounding the edges of the ponds. Outside the castle, there are trees and chairs to sit and enjoy the beauty of the castle. The atmosphere is shady. I recommend going in the morning or evening so that it's not too hot and the light is beautiful.

📍Typically, travelers enter Thailand through the Aranyaprathet border crossing from Poipet, Cambodia. Most people continue directly to Bangkok by bus, which is convenient if you purchase a through ticket from Siem Reap to Bangkok. A few people choose the slower train journey from Aranyaprathet to Bangkok. 📍I recommend traveling from Aranyaprathet to lesser-known destinations in eastern Thailand, such as Buriram or Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat). After crossing the border, I headed to the previously researched bus stop for Pattaya (there are direct buses from Aranyaprathet to Pattaya) and inquired about buses to Buriram. A young man on a motorbike led me to the bus station 1.8 km north of the border crossing and charged me 100 THB (a bit pricey). Arriving at the station at 9:50 am, I was pleasantly surprised to find a bus to Buriram via Nang Rong departing at 10:30 am! This bus station also has buses to Nakhon Ratchasima. Although I couldn't understand the language and didn't ask about the schedule, I suspect that these two relatively close provinces have frequent bus services to Aranyaprathet. 📍It took less than three hours to reach Nang Rong. Unlike minibuses, large buses can only stop at designated bus stations and not on demand. 📍Nang Rong's main attractions are Phanom Rung Historical Park and Muang Tam, sometimes referred to as "Little Angkor Wat." While they may not compare to the grandeur of Angkor, they are authentic ancient sites with fewer tourists and less commercialization, enhancing the overall experience. As both sites are about 30 km from Nang Rong, you'll need to hire a car or rent a motorbike. I rented a motorbike for 300 THB per day from P. California, where I stayed. Be cautious on the short stretch of mountain road and drive slowly. 📍Nang Rong itself is a laid-back and quiet town. The residential area feels like a small town in southern China, perhaps due to a significant Chinese community. The Nang Rong night market is fantastic, with diverse food stalls offering unique snacks. The satay, pork leg rice, and fried egg cakes (similar to dried tofu) are all incredibly delicious.

#WinterTravel #BuriramTravel #Prasat Muang Tam #ThaiTravelThailand #HolidayTravel Prasat Muang Tam is a language not far from Prasat Khao Phanom Rung. We were going back home via Sa Kaeo, so we saw the sign for Prasat Muang Tam, so we stopped by to take a look. The castle itself is quite grand. I think it is similar to Prasat Khao Phanom Rung, but it is not on a mountain. It is also close to the people's homes.

It is a coffee shop in the Culture Coffee style. Foreign tourists reviewed it 5 stars. It is a coffee shop where you can come and chill, reset your brain and mood, and be ready to welcome a new day with freshness.

When you arrive in Buriram Province, you must visit both stone castles. It is recommended to visit Prasat Muang Tam first and then go to Prasat Hin Phanom Rung. - There is a parking lot, it is not difficult to find. After walking from the parking lot, cross the road and you will see a large sign that says Prasat Muang Tam. - Prasat Muang Tam is a Hindu religious site. The entrance fee for Thais is 20 baht. - The interesting thing about this place is that it is still unknown who built it. Therefore, its history is interesting. It is recommended to study or watch historical YouTube before visiting to enhance your trip. - Personally, I like the 4 inner ponds, which are built symmetrically. It is amazing for the design in ancient times. There are fewer tourists than Prasat Hin Phanom Rung. #VisitPalacesAndCastles #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck

#Visit Architecture Prasat Muang Tam [Buriram] ++++++++++++++++++ I came here on a weekday. There were no people. It was quiet, lonely, and a bit desolate because most people were concentrated in Phanom Rung. This place has a charm that is no less than Phanom Rung. It is just a little bit closer. It would be good to come visit here. It is also good to visit when there are fewer people. You can take pictures without people in the open area. It gives a different kind of feeling.

There is an entrance fee of 20 baht, but there are many beautiful places to take pictures inside. If anyone comes, I recommend going to Phanom Rung Stone Castle first. On the way back, stop by Muang Tam Castle so that it is not too hot. There are many ancient sculptures inside to take pictures of. I arrived at around 11:00. There were not many people. The inside is clean and there is no trash. Seniors can enter for free. I am a little disappointed that there were no lotus flowers when I went. If I go when there are lotus flowers, it will be very beautiful.

The largest jar in Thailand. Does anyone know where it is? It is in Buriram Province, inside the temple opposite Muang Tam Castle.

I took my friends and families to visit Prasat Mueng Tum on Saturday, two days prior to famous Loy Kratong event. They were actually having prayer event. The temple itself is quite charming and peaceful. With the praying event, it was even more stunning. Outside the temple, there’s nice walking street. Since there’s almost Loy Kratong, there’re lighting decorations and releasing fish merit making.
