Prasat Phum Pon, Khmer temple ruins in Dom, Thailand.

The brick sanctuary features a central Prang built on latrite base with sandstone door frames, colonnettes, and decorative lintel elements.

Dating from the 12th to 13th century, Prasat Phum Pon represents the oldest temple ruins in Surin province and belongs to the Prei Kameng Period.

The temple structure demonstrates the architectural techniques of the Chenla kingdom, a pre-Angkorian Khmer state that influenced this region of Thailand.

Visitors can reach the temple site by following the Sangkha-Buachet route, located approximately 10 kilometers from Amphoe Sangkha in Surin province.

A Khmer language school operates at the temple grounds, supporting language education for the local ethnic Khmer population of Surin province.
