This is part 24 of the 48 (out of the 77) of all the provinces in Thailand I have stayed at least 1 night. Buriram province is in the southern part of North-East Thailand and borders Cambodia. Most tourists will know Buriram because of the ancient Khmer ruins the Prasat Hin Phanom Rung . And that is how I came also for the first time in 2002 to Buriram. And in the years following I have been about 5 times at this magnificent temple complex on the rim of an extinct volcano. It is my favourite ancient Khmer ruin to go to in North-East Thailand. But the area of Buriram province (and Surin province) is home to many remains of ancient Khmer ruins, so if you are interested in this amazing culture that once dominated most parts of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam then going to Buriram is the thing to do. Photo above & under were taken at Prasat Hin Panom Rung.
