youtube/watch?v=XDGGaiRARbE Phanomrung Temple, Panomrung. Thank you for Fine Arts Department Office of Archaeology, and PhanomrungPuri Hotel The Accommodation near Phanomrung Historical Park. Phanom Rung Sanctuary or Prasat Phanom Rung is a spectacular Khmer ancient sanctuary situated on Phanom Rung Massif. It is also one of the most significant archeological sites in Thailand due to its location, landscape, and phenomenon of sunsets and sunrises through 15 porches which occurs four times annually. The sanctuary pagodas are on the top of Phanom Rung Massif (an extinct volcano) in Ta Pek Sub-District, Chalerm Prakiat District, Buriram. It was constructed as a religious site in Shiva Hinduism, so Phanom Rung Mountain could be compared as Mount Kailas the heavenly dwelling of God Shiva in this regard. The first thing visitors see when they arrive at the site is the grand stairway from the foot of the hill up to the top. Most of the buildings of the sanctuary were made of laterite and sandstone, all with elaborate designs. The buildings are lined all the way to the main pagoda which faces the east. This layout is according to Hindu belief of the layout of the heaven of the god Shiva. On the right of the stairway is the preparation hall for the king before attending the ceremony or sanctity worship.
