Prasat Hin Phimai
Merely 50 kilometers northeast of Nakhon Ratchasima, here has some of the finest and the largest examples of Khmer architecture in Thailand
Most buildings are from the late 11th to the late 12th century, during which time the area was part of the Khmer empire, hence built in the Baphuon, Bayon and Angkor Wat style. What makes this temple unique is that is constructed as a Buddhist temple, even though the Khmer who built it were Hindu.
