Prasat Muang Thi (Prasat Muang Tee) - Historic Temple Ruin - Surin Thailand 2024

Prasat Muang Thi (Prasat Muang Tee)

This Khmer-style sanctuary features a set of mortared brick pagodas on the same base. Originally there were five pagodas but now only three remain.

The sanctuary was modified at the same time as the nearby Si Khoraphum sanctuary.

The layout of the sanctuary is square with indented corners. The middle pagoda is the largest, with access by stairways on four sides.

The apex of the three-tiered roof is missing. The style is popular in ancient Khmer sanctuaries, and originated from beliefs of Brahminism. The middle pagoda symbolises Mount Meru (a mythical mountain at the center of the universe and home of the gods), surrounded by pagodas at each of the four corners.

There is no indication of the date of its construction.

The prangs were all remodeled during the late Ayutthaya era and the styling reflects it. Two of the towers are completely gone but what you see is interesting due to the age and history of the region. It’s a minor site but might be combined with others if you are in the area.
