Prasat Ta Muen Thom

The temple complex features multiple sandstone structures, including a central sanctuary, mandapa, and antarala within a rectangular enclosure measuring 46 by 38 meters.

Constructed during the reign of Udayadityavarman II in the 11th century, the temple served as a significant stop along the Ancient Khmer Highway connecting Angkor to Phimai.

The temple holds religious importance with its natural linga feature and south-facing entrance, differing from traditional east-facing orientations of Khmer temples.

Access to the temple complex is exclusively through Thailand, requiring visitors to follow a mountain trail through the Dangrek Mountain range.

The temple's name translates to 'Great Temple of Grandfather Chicken' and includes structures that indicate its past function as a rest stop for travelers.
