Amphoe Ban Kruat
Ban Kruat
Ban Kruat is 66 kilometres south of Buri Ram. Historical
sites in this district are as follows:
Quarry
 This
is 6 kilometres from Ban Kruat into the way to Lahan Sai. The hill
is littered with rocks large and small, some with traces of rock
cutting. It is believed stones taken from here were used to construct
a large number of sanctuaries in the lower Northeast.
Ancient Kilns
These ancient kilns constitute one of the most important pottery-making
centers of the ancient Khmer Empire. The kilns date from the 14th-19th
Buddhist century. The pottery made here was supplied to cities in
the empire. The Fine Arts Department has renovated 2 kilns called
Tao Sawai and Tao Nai Chian, 5 and 10 kilometres from Ban Kruat,
respectively. The kilns are ideal for those interested in archaeology.
