Prasat Phum Pon

Prasat Phum Pon is a temple ruins complex with a central brick tower standing on a laterite base. The tower features sandstone door frames, small columns, and carved decorative elements above the openings.

The ruins were built between the 12th and 13th centuries as khmer architectural influence spread across the region. It belongs to the Prei Kameng Period and marks the oldest surviving temple remains in the province.

The temple's name carries meaning in the Khmer language connected to local stories of the region. Today the site remains a gathering place where ethnic Khmer people connect with their ancestral traditions.

The site sits about 10 kilometers from the district center and can be reached via the Sangkha-Buachet road. The location is rural, so it helps to plan your route in advance before visiting.

A Khmer language school operates on the temple grounds today, teaching the language to local youth with Khmer heritage. This makes the site an active center for language preservation set among ancient stones.
