Buri Ram, Isan, Thailand
Buri Ram province is an important link on the historical tour known as the Khmer route that takes travellers due east from Nakhon Ratchasima to where the rivers Chi and Mun join the Mekong River east of Ubon Ratchathani.
Khmer ruins constitute the most important historical sites of the lower region of Isan. They start with Phimai and continue with equally impressive sites in Buri Ram province such as the Khmer temple of Prasat Phanom Rung close to the Cambodian border. Another is the large Buddha image on Khao Kradon mountain. Buri Ram is 410 km from Bangkok, with an area of 10,300 square kilometres. The majority of the interesting tourist sites are a half- to one-hour drive from the provincial town. Traditionally tours stay overnight in Nakhon Ratchasima or Surin. During his reign there was prosperity and happiness. There was water in the paddy fields and fish in the water. A stone inscription reads in part, "This Muang Sukhothai is good. In the water there are fish, in the field there is rice. The ruler does not levy a tax on the people who riding their horses on the way to sell. Whoever wants to trade in elephants, so trades. Whoever wants to trade in horses, so trades.. Whoever wants to trade in silver and gold, so trades"

Buri Ram Attractions:Khao Phanom Rung Historic Park is located 53 km from Buri Ram town off Highway 24. Built at the same time as Angkor Wat, Prasat Phanom Rung was originally a temple glorifying the Hindu deity Siva. Standing on an extinct volcano, the complex holds an extraordinary collection of Khmer art. Three magnificent Naga bridges in the park are the only examples of their kind in Thailand, with the exception of one in Phimai. The lintel carvings of the main prang display a superb execution of detail. One of the lintels, the well-known "Narai Bontomsin" which depicts a reclining Vishnu, was recently returned from a museum in the United States.
