Prasat Muang Khaek 10th Century Khmer Temple ปราสาทเมืองแขก - Nakhon Ratchasima Thailand 2023
Prasat Muang Khaek (early-mid 10th century) ปราสาทเมืองแขก
Prasat Muang Khaek is located just 560 meters due north of Prasat Non Ku, making it convenient to visit both monuments. Both monuments are among the earliest Khmer monuments in Thailand apart from Khao Noi and Phum Phon, built in the 7th century.
The age of the site suggests that it was built around the same time as the monuments in Koh Ker in present day Cambodia. One feature in common with both locations is the technique of placing the smallest buildings at the center with progressively larger structures along the edges. This feature is the reason for the unusually large gopura that dwarfs the central sanctuary. In an unusual twist, the gopura (and by extension the whole temple) faces due north instead of east.
Until the 1990s the temple was in an advanced state of decay with only a few low mounds visible above the surface. Since then the Fine Arts Department re-erected the surviving sandstone features (mainly doors, windows, lintels, and foundations) and laid a few new courses of brick to hold them in place and provide a sense of scale.
The site itself is interesting for anyone that enjoys seeing a bit of the regions history.
