Amphoe Prathai
Prasat Nang Ram
This site, called Arokhayasan (a hospital) by the ancient
Khmers, was built in the 13th century during the reign of King Chaiworaman
VII and is comprised of 2 groups of buildings situated close together.
The more complete pagodas face the east and are surrounded by a
laterite wall. To the northeast outside the wall is a pool and another
group of historical buildings where many beautiful lintels are found.
The site can be reached by taking Highway No. 2 for about 62 kilometers

207 and proceed for about 22 kilometers to Ban Ya Kha (or about
11 kilometers before reaching Prathai town) and turning left and
