Phimai Historical Park

The largest stone monument in the Northeast is Prasat Hin Phimai in Phimai Historical Park. It was erected for the practice of Mahayana Buddhism in the early 12th century. This particular monument became the prototype of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, which makes it of even greater historical and aesthetic importance.

An annual Phimai Festival within the historical park is held in November. Festivities include a special light and sound show and classical dances.
