Prasat Muang Tam

Beautiful Khmer temple (locally referred as a castle) from 10th century. The entrance costs 100 baths, unless you buy it as double ticket from nearby large temple Phanom Rung for 150 for both. On some holidays the entrance is free, and you might even have the chance to see everyone dressed up with traditional costumes.

Prasat Muang Tam is a Khmer Hindu Temple in Prakhon Chai District, Buriram Province, Thailand. It is in the Khleang and Baphuon styles, which dates its construction to the late-10th and early-11th centuries. The deity was Shiva, although Vishnu was also worshipped there.

We hired a car from Buriram to visit the temples of Prasat Muang Tam and Phanom Rung. The journey was safe and pleasant. We spent more than an hour to discover Prasat Muang Tam, which is a Khmer Hindu Temple in Buriram Province, Thailand. It is primarily in the Khleang and Baphuon styles, which dates its primary phases of construction to the late-10th and early-11th centuries.

Maybe not as breathtaking as Prasat Phanom Rung but it's still magnificent. The grounds are lovely and the ruins are just incredible.

This is a beautiful area, temple and grounds. It is amazing how well these structures have lasted over the centuries. It is very nice to see historical areas protected and open to the public.

Beautiful and amazing. My favorite of all the temples in this area. Definitely worth a visit.

Prasat Muang Tam is the 2nd most important historical park in Buriram. The park was of a later period than Phanom Rung, and thus has a different architecture style. It’s not too far from Phanom Rung, so best to plan to do them together.

If you get a discounted ticket by buying the bundled ticket for Phanom Rung and Muang Tam.

Very interesting and beautiful historical place.

Great khmer temple ruins in excellent state! We were the only visitors and had the temple all to ourselves. Such a peaceful place. Beautiful sculptures. A few shops at the parking selling quality local clothing. Big old trees by the pound. Very picturesque.

A site of stunning beauty. Prasat Muang Tam reflects the high cultural standards in the glory days of the Khmer empire from the 11th to the 15th century. The sanctuary has well-maintained buildings. The architacual and cultural value of the site are priceless. Prasart Muang Tam was an important stronghold in the empire, ruled by the kings in Angkor. The site takes you by the hand and leads you back in time when you walk along the pond or climb the staircase.

Amazing site. Just beautiful

Very interesting old temple complex. Not as big, busy or tiring as the nearby phanon rung but full of atmosphere amd interesting ruins, in pretty good condition. Plenty of trees and shade. Some parking nearby and lots of little food kiosks, though not particularly great selection. Definitely drop by if you are in the area. Theres a combined ticket with Phanom Rung (150bt in 2023)

A really beautiful old temple in very well-maintained surroundings. The entrance fee is really worth it to see this sight. The gardens are very well kept and you can

Amazing temple,beautiful experience

Very very beautifule
Price for farang 150 baht
Thai 30 baht

Pradat Muang Tam is fascinating to visit knowing to be just a short disistance of 8 km from Prasat Panom Rung which is located further on an ancient volcanic mount. Imagining how these two cities were linked by devotees who paid their respects to the deity of Shiva mainly represented by these two holy cities and the fact that walking distances in those periods were not a matter for people to travel by foot.

Great monument and resting area! You can chill here for a while on this park, check the statues and monuments and have some snacks. Very nice!

Historical place in 16th century. It is a Hindu religious monument.It was constructed for the Hindu god Shiva.It was built to hold religious ceremonies for surrounding communities.

It's very nice and a place to visit to explore the ruins and historical culture place

Architecture of this 11th century shiva temple complex is very grand and spacious with five sanctum towers on a pedestal supported by four inner corridor entrance mantapams which are further surrounded by four huge geometrically unique shaped hissing snake step wells which is an ancient wonder that makes it must visit attraction when you near to Buri ram.The entire temple complex is secured by outer walls having four colorful entrance gates or mantapams with an additional layer of moat facility.The central sanctum tower has fallen completely and remaining brick structures of sanctums are intact with very few sculpture panels in the form of shiva parvati riding on the bull,indra riding on lion faced elephant?,Krishna lifting the govardhana hill, astadikpala varuna riding the swan is immortal from stone and sculpture perspective.The sculpture on the corridor mantapams is slowly fading away in the form of few lamp holder floral designs,big leaf patterns,unidentified gods riding on lion faced animals that could be astadikpalas, lively elephants here and there makes you happy for visiting the ancient khmer kingdom.
