Phimai Historical Park
Phimai Historical Park
The Phimai historical park (Thai: ปราสาทหินพิมาย) is Ancient Khmer complex temples which located in the town of Phimai, Nakhon Ratchasima province. As the enclosed area of 1020x580m is comparable with that of Angkor Wat, Prasat hin Phimai must have been an important city in the Khmer empire. Most buildings are from the late 11th to the late 12th century, built in the Baphuon, Bayon and Angkor Wat style. However, even though the Khmer at that time were Hindu, the temple was built as a Buddhist temple,[1] as Buddhism in the Khorat area dated back to the 7th century. Inscriptions name the site Vimayapura (which means city of Vimaya), which developed into the Thai name Phimai.

branches and leaves twisted and are naturally woven as a big shed.
Inside the area people can walk and
sit down to relax.
A lot of tourists come during the weekend and there
are food vendors, selling local foods and drinks. Also, there are many small
