Prasat Ban Prasat, Archaeological Khmer temple in Prasat, Thailand.

The temple complex features three brick towers of varying sizes, resting on a laterite base enclosed by protective walls at its perimeter.

The sanctuary, constructed during the 10th or 11th century under Khmer influence, underwent modifications during the subsequent Lan Xang Kingdom period.

The central tower now functions as a Buddhist sanctuary, where original Khmer statues have been replaced with Buddha effigies for current religious practices.

Visitors must remove their shoes before entering the enclosed sanctuary area, which remains open throughout regular daytime hours for exploration.

The temple complex sits within the grounds of Wat Prasat monastery, combining ancient Khmer architecture with modern Buddhist religious activities.
