Prasat and Prang in Isaan
Isaan is chock full of ancient structures, some well known, some not; some in great repair, others completely ignored. Let's have a look at a few:

This is an old Khmer Prang located a few miles northwest of Korat. No one ever visits because all of the English language maps have it in the wrong spot by about 10K. It took me several days to find it on my bicycle; none of the locals know where it is, either. Anyway, it's at Wat Prang and it's about to fall over.

It has a nice lintel which will probable end up on the fireplace mantel of some rich guy in Chicago once the prang falls down.

Everyone knows Prasat Hin Phimai, which is north of Korat on the main highway. This photo was taken from one of the old city gates which is rapidly falling into disrepair.

This is Phanom Wan which is just a few K east of Korat. It is rarely visited because it is off the beaten path and not easy to find. Restoration work seems to have stopped for the moment. The site occupies a huge area.

Prasat Non Ku is part of the ancient city complex of Sema and is about 30K west of Korat. Also rarely visited.
