Prasat Phanom Rung
Prasat Phanom Rung is dedicated Shiva of the Hindu pantheon Brahma-Shiva-Vishnu and is build on the top of an extinct volcano 200 metres above the Buriram plain in Southern Isan (North East Thailand).
Most of the present structure is build by a local Khmer lord, Narendraditya, in the 12th century AD, when Suryavarman II ruled in Angkor Wat.
Thailand's Department of Fine Arts spent 17 years restoring the complex to its original state from 1971 till 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.

Prasat Muangtum
Prasat Hin Muang Tum is a Khmer temple in Buri Ram Province, Thailand. It is primarily in the Khleang and Baphuon styles, which dates its primary phases of construction to the late 10th and early 11th centuries. The primary deity was Shiva, although Vishnu was also worshipped there.
Like most Khmer temples, Muang Tum is orientated towards the east. It has a flat concentric plan, with a central sanctuary and two libraries surrounded successively by an inner enclosure, ponds, and an outer enclosure. The ponds between the enclosures are an unusual feature of the temple, as is the central sanctuary, which is not elevated and has its towers arranged in rows of three and two rather than in a quincunx. All the towers except the central one have been restored.
