Prasat Ta Khwai, Khmer temple ruins in Bakdai, Thailand.
The sandstone temple features a tall cruciform structure with entrances on each side, standing as a remnant of ancient Khmer architecture.
Built between the 11th and 12th centuries, Prasat Ta Khwai served as a religious sanctuary housing a natural linga during the Angkor period.
The temple structure represents the architectural methods of Khmer civilization, with its design reflecting Hindu religious practices of medieval Southeast Asia.
The site is accessible via an 8-kilometer concrete path from a military checkpoint, with stairs leading to the main temple structure.
Despite remaining structurally intact, the temple walls never received their intended decorative carvings, presenting an uncommon view of Khmer construction methods.
