Prasat Muang Tam is one of the most complete and least visited Khmer temple complexes in Thailand โ four L-shaped ponds, lotus-filled moats, Naga balustrades and sandstone towers that have stood here since the 10th century.

A full walking tour of Prasat Muang Tam โ the lower temple of Buriram Province, built in the Baphuon style and dedicated to Shiva. While Phanom Rung gets most of the attention, Muang Tam sits just a few kilometres away and receives a fraction of the visitors despite being equally atmospheric and significantly more intimate. The complex is built on a flat plain rather than a hilltop, which gives it a completely different character โ enclosed, quiet, almost meditative.
The walk takes in the outer gallery, the four ceremonial ponds with their Naga-headed balustrades, the inner sanctuary with its five prangs, the intricate lintel carvings, and the wide stone courtyards where local school groups practice traditional Thai performance in full costume.
