Prasat Yai Nga, Khmer temple ruins in Ban Chop, Thailand.

Prasat Yai Nga is a stone temple complex with multiple chambers and courtyards laid out in patterns typical of Khmer sanctuaries. The surfaces feature carved reliefs depicting religious themes and show characteristic building methods from that era.

This site was built in the 11th century during the height of Khmer expansion into present-day Thailand. It served as a religious center along important trade routes that connected different kingdoms and cultures.

The carved stones here show how Hindu worship was practiced in this region, with religious symbols and designs still visible on the ruins. The layout reveals how sacred and daily spaces were organized together in ancient times.

The ruins sit in a rural area accessible by local roads from Ban Chop village. It helps to go with a local guide or driver, since the remains are spread across the land and can be hard to navigate on your own.

Excavations here have uncovered bronze figures and ceramic vessels that reveal what people left as offerings during religious ceremonies. These objects give clues about how worship was actually practiced at this place centuries ago.
