Prasat Ta Muen Tot

The temple complex features multiple stone structures built with laterite and pinkish-grey sandstone materials, displaying Khmer architectural elements and designs.

Built during the 11th century under Udayadityavarman II's reign, the temple functioned as a resting point along the Ancient Khmer Highway connecting Angkor to Phimai.

The temple complex includes a central sanctuary that contained ritual statues and a somasutra system for channeling sacred water during ceremonies.

The site is accessible through a designated road from the Thai side, with visitors required to follow border area protocols due to its location.

The temple's southern orientation differs from traditional eastern-facing Khmer temples, potentially chosen for defensive purposes and traveler accommodation.
