Phanom Rung Historical Park is an archaeological site in Thailand, covering the ruins of Prasat Phanom Rung (, ), a Hindu Khmer Empire temple complex set on the rim of an extinct volcano at elevation. It is located in Buriram Province in the Isan region of Thailand, and was built at a time when Khmer social-political influences were significant in Srisaket. It was built of sandstone and laterite between the 10th and 13th centuries. It was a Hindu shrine dedicated to Shiva, and symbolises Mount Kailash, his heavenly dwelling. Read more on Wikipedia
