Must-visit places in Buriram
My opinion :

Khmer temple built on top of an extinct volcano . You access to it by a long paved walkway and a beautiful staircase. Very unique! With the temple of Phimai, these are the two finest Khmer temples in Thailand.

8 km from the Phanom Rung, this small Khmer temple has been wonderfully restored. A visit to do before or after Phanom Rung visit.
Other nice places to visit in Buriram

starstarstar and its many Buddhas statues all different. A park of sitting Buddhas seems to be in preparation.
starstarstar This monument like that does not present a huge tourist interest but in the evening when all the 9-storey umbrellas surrounding it are lit, it becomes magnificent and is worth the detour ! During the day, it remains interesting but less photogenic.
starstar a few meters from Wat Klang and the Grand Pound, this imposing Khmer architecture monument was built in 2005
starstar This night market is held every Saturday and Sunday nights on Rom Buri Road and has much more charm than the daily night market of Buriram. There is a wide choice of dishes and small snacks for your evening meal.
