Hae Phka Temple

Scant remains of a 9th-century group of three brick temples with a large basin in the north. The site today is still surrounded by its original moat with an entrance on the east to a high-rising mound about 20m per side. The site features several laterite remnants, sandstone fragments, and some bricks can also be seen.

A Vishnu statue, lintel, inscription (K. 686 and K. 687) and other pieces were found during early excavations.
