Prasat
Mueang Tam
........................................................
This stone sanctuary can be reached by taking the road to Prakhon
Chai for 8 kilometres and another 5 kilometres on a road on the right-hand
side. This Khmer site has a square layout. Its main structures are
5 brick pagodas built on the same foundation and enclosed by two walls.
The 4 doorways are perpendicular to each other and built of sandstone
with beautiful designs. The inner wall is made of sandstone and is
one long, narrow continuous corridor, called Rabiang Khot. The outer
wall is made of laterite. Lintels adorn doorways and the main pagoda,
recounting Hindu tales. Another highlight of the site is the 4 large
pools between the walls. The edges of the pools have serpent designs
with the head at the pool corner. The beauty of this Khmer site is
second only to that of Phanom Rung. |
