Prasat Sikhoraphum - 11th Century Khmer Temple - Surin Thailand 2023
Prasat Sikhoraphum in Surin Thailand.
Surin province in Northeast Thailand houses a number of Khmer monuments, of which Prasat Sikhoraphum is one of the largest and best preserved.
This Khmer monument is located North of Angkor (current day Siem Reap in Cambodia), which was the center of the ancient Khmer empire, East of Phimai and Northeast of Muang Tum and Phanom Rung.
Prasat Sikhoraphum was most likely built during the 11th or 12th century. It was constructed as a Hindu temple dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva.
The temple complex consists of five prangs (Khmer style towers) set on a single laterite platform. The central prang is the tallest measuring 32 meters high. The central prang usually houses the linga, the sacred symbol that symbolizes the strength of the God Shiva. This prang is surrounded by four smaller prangs, that are placed in a square.
The temple complex is oriented towards the East, as is usual with Khmer temples and is surrounded by a moat.
The main attraction of Prasat Sikhoraphum are the bas reliefs of the temple, that are well preserved. Several pilasters and lintels over entrances contain very detailed carvings.
During the 16th century, the temple complex was partly renovated and turned into a Buddhist temple.
Prasat Sikhoraphum is not as large or impressive as some of the better known Khmer temples in Thailand, it is worth a visit. Because of its location away from the main tourist areas, very few foreign tourists visit this site, giving it a different, more serene atmosphere.
