Prasat Sa Kamphaeng Noi

Prasat Sa Kamphaeng Noi, Khmer temple ruins in Khayung, Thailand.

Description

Prasat Sa Kamphaeng Noi is a Khmer temple in Khayung built with laterite stone forming a central tower structure. The eastern entrance displays carved bas-reliefs and balustrades that showcase the craftsmanship of the period.

History

The temple was built during King Jayavarman VII's reign in the late 12th and early 13th century. It served as a chapel for a hospital, combining religious and medical purposes in one structure.

Culture

The place reflects how the Khmer people integrated spiritual and healing practices into their religious spaces. The carved details and layout show the values and beliefs that shaped the design of these structures.

Practical

The site features informational signs explaining the architectural features and layout. Visiting in the morning or early afternoon provides the best lighting conditions for viewing and photography.

A rectangular water reservoir sits near the temple with a pavilion accessed through a path lined with stone Naga serpents. These water features were essential to both daily functions and ritual use of the complex.
