Things to see and do in Buriram

Buriram city only has a few notable attractions and none can compete with the Phanom Rung temple fifty kilometers far away. This is essentially this khmer temple that attracts tourists in Buriram or in Nang Rong a little closer to it.

At the end of the page, I have also listed some good tours, excursions and activities you can do in or from Buriram. Click here to see them.

Must-visit places in Buriram

Phanom Rung

พนมรุ้ง

My opinion : 5/5

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.

Prasat Muang Tam

ปราสาทหินเมืองต่ำ

My opinion : 5/5

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 places worth visiting in Buriram

Wat Klang

A few meters from Buriram city pillar, it is especially interesting for the large pool which is just next to it.

Khao Kradong Volcano Forest Park

6 km from Buriram, on an extinct volcano whose crater is now filled by a lake and whose summit houses the Phra Suphattharabophit, a huge sitting Buddha that became the symbol of Buriram city.

Wat Tham Theeraram

and its many Buddhas statues all different. A park of sitting Buddhas seems to be in preparation.

King Rama I Monument

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.

Buriram City Pillar Shrine

a few meters from Wat Klang and the Grand Pound, this imposing Khmer architecture monument was built in 2005

Buriram Walking Street

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.

Thunder Castle I-Mobile Stadium

The city football club, Buriram United is sometimes said to be the Manchester United of Thailand. It is the best team in the country and the city as the club are very proud of their stadium. You can visit it if you want. This is not a must visit of course but attending a game can be fun.
