Wat Khao Angkhan walkaround, Buriram, Thailand
Wat Khao Angkhan is a modern temple in Buriram province built in multiple styles, including Khmer, Thai, and Chinese. It is not too far from Phanom Rung and Muang Tam ancient Khmer temples. Like Phanom Rung, it also sits atop an extinct volcano, and it affords views of the surrounding countryside. At the base of the temple complex (not pictured) is a 29 meter long reclining buddha that's impressive in its own right. Local tours may take you here. Otherwise you need your own transport. The roads aren't the best, but they could be worse.

Amazing Thailand - Buriram - Phanom Rung Historical Park
Phanom Rung Historical Park is located in the Buriram. It's around 365 kilometers from Bangkok to Phanom Rung Historical Park .
Phanom Rung (Thai: พนมรุ้ง, pronounced [pʰānōm rúŋ]), or full name, Prasat Hin Phanom Rung (Thai: ปราสาทหินพนมรุ้ง – Phanom Rung Stone Castle), is a Khmer temple complex set on the rim of an extinct volcano at 402 metres (1,319 ft) elevation, in Buriram Province in the Isan region of Thailand. It was built of sandstone and laterite in the 10th to 13th centuries. It was a Hindu shrine dedicated to Shiva, and symbolises Mount Kailash, his heavenly dwelling.
Thailand's Department of Fine Arts spent 17 years restoring the complex to its original state from 1971 to 1988. On 21 May 1988, the park was officially opened by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn.[1] In 2005, the temple was submitted to UNESCO for consideration as a future World Heritage Site.

Thailand 2011: Prasat Nong Hong ancient Temple
Prasat Nong Hong is a small archaeological site situated in Ban Non Din Daeng. The archaeological site is worth a visit because of the uniqueness it presents. The site has three prangs made from brick and all the prangs sit on a single laterite base.
The prangs are square shaped and have 12-indented corners. The middle prang is bigger that the adjacent ones. All the prangs have just one entrance facing East. Prasat Nong Hong dates back to the 16th Buddhist century.
Based on what one can see today, it is believed that temple must have had many beautiful lintels. The lintels on the northern prang shown a carved image of Hindu God Vishnu riding on Garuda above Kala's face, who is holding a garland. The other two prangs, the one in the center and the one facing south, have similar lintels but with different depictions. The prang in the middle shows a carved image Hindu God Indra rising an Erawan elephant, while the one in the south shows Hindu God Shiva riding his famous bull, Nandi.
Right in front of the central prag is a walkway with staircases in front and on both sides. All buildings are surrounded by a laterite wall and u-shaped moat. In addition, there is a library that faces the southern prang.
Find your way to Lam Nang Rong Dam and you will find Prasat Nong Hong is situated along the very edge of the dam.
