Noen Prasat, Archaeological site in Sukhothai Historical Park, Thailand.

The ruins of Noen Prasat stand on a square base measuring 200 meters on each side, featuring terracotta pipes and remnants of ancient water systems.

The site was discovered in 1833 by Mongkut during a northern Siam pilgrimage, leading to the recovery of the Ramkhamhaeng stele and Manangasila Throne.

The excavated brick platform in the southwest corner contains evidence of royal cremation ceremonies, reflecting traditional Thai burial practices.

Visitors can examine the palace foundations and archaeological remains during regular park hours, with the site being less crowded than other park sections.

Two small ponds connected by ancient terracotta pipes transported water from a city lake, demonstrating advanced engineering capabilities of the Sukhothai period.
