Phimai Historical Park faces the south toward Angkor and was built as an important regional centre of the Khmer.
Its largest stone sanctuary in Thailand - measures 565 by 1,030 meters and is protected by a moat and flanked by the Moun and Chackarat rivers.
The central courtyard has 3 towers, or Prangs. The main tower is decorated with lintels and bas reliefs showing scenes or episodes from Ramayana; the epic battle between Rama and Ravana, a demon with many heads and arms who had stolen Rama's wife.
The secondary towers are made of laterite and red sandstone. One has the sculpture of a seated of King Jayavarman VII.
