Prasat Nakhon Luang, Khmer temple ruins in Nakhon Luang, Thailand
The temple complex stands on the east bank of Pa Sak River, featuring stone sanctuaries and decorative elements that demonstrate Khmer architectural influences.
King Prasat Thong ordered the construction of this royal palace in 1631 after obtaining architectural plans from Angkor in Cambodia through a Siamese delegation.
The temple grounds hosted royal ceremonies, including gun-firing rituals and traditional offerings that reflected the spiritual practices of ancient Siamese kings.
The site contains informational panels explaining the historical significance of different structures and maintains designated pathways for visitors to explore the ruins.
A mysterious unfinished Dharma Chakra, believed to have floated down the Pa Sak River, resides in a pavilion north of the main temple complex.
