    Phanom Wan - Korat

    Everybody knows about Phimai in Korat, but not many people know about Phanom Wan, another Khmer prasat that is about as old aห Phimai, but much less visited and a lot closer to muang Korat. Sadly, it's not yet reconstructed:

    lovely pics BD/BH.

    I've just been looking for Korat on my map, but can't find it.
    Exactly where is it?
    Does it have another name?

    Panom Wan was built during the 10th/11th Century.A.D. to worship Lord Shiva.

    In the 11th Century.A.D. the Temple had been in Rattanapura town center, so that meant it had received better preservation from the Locals.

    It was in the Ayutthaya period it was changed to be a Buddhist temple until the Ratanakosin (Bangkok) period.

    Thanks DD.

    We were there in February of this year. It appeared then as though restoration had stopped -- nobody working, things in disarray. However, there is a great deal of material just lying around which seems to be at great risk since there is no one who seems to be watching over this site.

    I wonder if restoration will ever continue or if they've just given up?
