Prang Pha Kho, Ancient Khmer temple ruins in Chok Chai, Thailand

The temple site contains a central prang facing east and a single bannalai structure, with both buildings mounted on laterite foundations.

Constructed in the 11th century, Prang Pha Kho received official recognition as a Thai historic site in 1936 with registration number 0001048.

The remaining lintel on the bannalai displays a distinctive kala consuming a singha lion, representing an uncommon element in Khmer architectural decoration.

Visitors can reach the site by taking hourly buses from Khorat to Khon Buri, with the ruins located along the main route.

Archaeological discoveries at the site include three lotus-bud tops and various sculptures, now exhibited in the Phimai and Maha Viravong National Museums.
